[Sonic Atrocity]

I am looking for good trance/techno/rave/electronic/industrial (but industrial not AS much). Anyways, I am looking for stuff that is innovative, or even if it's not innovative, just good. I notice there is a lot of metronomic garbage out there. Hey, I can live with the odd cookie cutter beat (consider the drums in rock music...) but I am looking for stuff that is sincerely well written music. Trance really intrigues me, actually. I like to be moved emotionally! Vocals are alright with me too. Oh, and I happen to have a thing for beautiful female vocals.

Yeah, album and piece reccomendations are best for me. I don't usually like listening online. The sound quality is diminished. The first link you provided me is neat though!

 

[Sonic Atrocity]

Wow... this is impressive. Very cool. Groovy, unique, CREATIVE. 
 
Creative is key. Most electronic music I hear and whatnot is absolute crap. Usually it's just an applied formula. 

 

[Sonic Atrocity]

Any "classics"?

 

[02joe109]

Albums are hard to come by but they are about, here is grouch's album http://landoftrance.blogspot.com/2011/04/grouch-further-flac-2011.html
 
probably best electronic live set ive ever seen. Im quite lucky as i get my high quality stuff of DJ's i know, sadly most of the gems dont get released...
http://www.ektoplazm.com/free-music/gaggalacka-one-freaky-decade tracks 2 and 4 on this are by freiends of mine...
 
Its not technicaly trance etc but phaelah has a chilled dubstep(ish) album that is lush if you can find it
 
as far as classics go - Dirtyloud apes from space is an electro classic... as is this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PSW8vyhviA
 
Basicly the scene is imposible to find anything worth listening to without insider information... good when you do find a winner tho, if you stay interested il keep posting
