state of trance

[muzrat]

has state of trance top 15 august not been released ???

[electronomist]

had a look can't see anything. Forgive my ignorance but what is the significance of the top 15? Surely if you wanted to see what the good tunes are that are being played then just check out the tracklists for the latest episodes? or am i missing something? lol

[muzrat]

yh i cant find it either ? i like to pick the best tracks and put em in my own collection from every month that way i got the best tunes. i do dl the radio eps if there single tracks

Id hardly call any of the top 15's from ASOT 'the best tunes' to add to your collection. If thats the only way you find good tunes youre missing out mate! Id steer well clear of that station if i want decent trance

Really ok what would you suggest?

I can't think of any other radio show that's better than ASOT, I often check the tracklists of other radio shows to compare them with it, but they play pretty much the same stuff or else stuff that's even worse.
I only find about 2 or 3 really good songs on ASOT and then I search for everything else on Beatport, finding tunes yourself is way better, and plus a lot of the time your only fooled into thinking somethings good just because they say it is.
The only thing I find good about radio shows is, you can look forward forthcoming releases.

Exactly, all radio stations are just playing commercial crap everyone else plays. Try going on Juno or Beatport and have a good listen to a huge wad of trance on there then youll find a lot better than what the 'top 15 state of trance' shit will ever tell you ;)

and stations like difm on the web, sure you will hear commercial shite some times, but also a lot of new non commercial stuff too. discovered many a new track through them. especially the sets.

Yeah i agree asot is a bit commercial. I always dl the monthly black hole radio top 10 downloads they always have really good tunes

No matter what is played on ASOT its commercial the next day

He could play the theme tune to Eastenders in a set and it would be on a 1000 tracklists the week after
