Well, sorry to be a space hog, but there's more out there i want people to get exposed to. If anything, esp if you like to get stoned, lay back, and listen to music in the dark, pick up Bob Marley's "Dreams of Freedom" disc. I dare you to not like that.
Sorry about making a new thread, but i put a good amount of effort in this and want it at the beginning. Please add your favorites and try to describe them. If you want any of these described, ask away. You might be able to find sound samples on Amazon.com.
Support your local record store. It's amazing how much good quality music you can get on vinyl for cheap. And seek out garage sales.
Oh, yeah BTW, Paul Oakenfold is dead set out to infect America with his not-so-unique blend of cheezy trance anthems until we worship the cult of superstar dj that he is creating for his pharonic tomb. He says we Yanks are "learning it rather quickly" Bah! We have our own rather thriving trance scenes in LA and SF and have no need for Mr. Oakey's hands in the air step aerobics mix tapes. The guy's just plain arrogant and his cd's (i dig tranceport) show limited imagination. He can take his Guiness world record and shove it up his craic.

There's no doubt Oakenfold lays bombs on his cd's, but his true skills are marginal.
I bet Oakenfold pieces together the tracks for his CD's in this fashion: go to 20-25 clubs over a couple months time, see which tracks the kiddies throw their hands up and scream to the most, jot this info down on a clipboard, compare this information to the record charts, and wallah!! there's the next platinum. I know the guys got demigod status amongst techno-heads, but if K-tel put together a "Raves greatest hits" it probably look a lot like Oakenfolds album(s).
liquidocean, agree with ya on most of the music (have to say I've lost any fondness for older alternative though), Leftfield and Atmospherics I'm partial to; I have to submit Pearl Jam "Live on Two Legs", PJ's music has stuck with me since '91

Loreena McKennit - the Mask and the Mirror
And straight it began to play alone
the swans swim so bonny o
I couldn't possibly share with you how much her music makes me feel. My favorite song, the one that I literally cry to almost every time is "The highway man" off The Book of Secrets. I also love how songs such as The Mummers' Dance and All Souls Night remind me of the scene, and make me feel part of a tribe.
“So they linked their hands and danced, round in circles and in rows”
Makes me think of how we link our hands and dance with liquid.
