with or without vocals.
But also, a smooth melodic sound.
Preferably more warm friendly sounds.

In electronic music types, I like ATB, moby, infected mushroom if that helps.

I would check out Conjure One. They are pretty electronic with more of the vocal instrumental sound.

Very warm and fuzzy.

ES posthumus is also a good one. Not electronic at all but still more of that warm vocal instrumental stuff.

THanks, I like conjure one

 

[AFK]

Do you like that music because it's well composed or because it has piano in it?

 

[physh]

Conjure one dosn't have any piano in it.

 

[AFK]

That would be sad if an artist deliberately avoids a musical instrument for whatever arbitrary, and unnecessarily limiting, reason.

What is your point

Check out "All We Are" by Fischerspooner.

Damage by Roger Eno and Lol Hammond. Some good themes, but on the whole doesn't live up to Roger Eno's other, non-trance, music.

Glyph by Harold Budd and Hector Zazou -- not all piano, not all trance, and not always smooth going, but at least it is daring and experimental, and sometimes the results -- like the first track -- are brillant.

 

[BadassBob]

Talpa, The Misted Muppet, and SynSUN all fit your needs. Check em out

.

Check out Richie Hawtin's "DE9: Transitions" album. I have a feeling it will be right up your alley.

Goldie, his 'timeless' album has some beautiful piano over sea sounds and electronic music.

edit: by coincidence, moby's 'blue paper' track was just playing and this has piano in it, off the hotel CD

edit: another track playing now had reminded me also of another artist/album, ultrasonic "global tekno" piano in there with melodic hardcore/dance.

Robert Miles was a smash hit for a short while: his piece, "Children", is absolutely beautiful, but if you go through the whole album you'll realise he is a one-track pony. That's why his subsequent albums were all flops.

 

[Dash]

Second the Robert Miles.

 

[shigzeo]

３rd the Robert Miles but... have you tried a little chicane? that might help cure you there as well. i do like harder trance as well but if you still want some melody, man with no name is a good start as well.
