check out any live sets from 1999-2002 or so by the big names. Armin van Buuren, Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Oakenfold. Great stuff :)

Q: What other techno songs can compare to sandstorm by darude?

A: Almost any song is better.


Ok, seriously though, I like DJ Dean on the Tunnel Trance Force CDs, previously mentioned Ferry Corsten, and I also like DJ Dawn, you can pickup his stuff free online, tons of full CDs.

Sandstorm was one of those rare techno songs that became popular amongst the 'non-techno' crowd. It's not a bad one, but I still don't know what made it so good that it escaped.

Songs that should have been put on the same level?
Lagoona (Dead)
-Journey
-Into my Dream
-Promised Land

Cynic Project (Undead - The name continues, but the artwork generated is not the same...)
-Trance Generation
-Formant
-Trance Experience (Scroll down)
-Cherry Earth (SFW, but this link is only a clip)

NINA - Goddess of Trance (....hasn't died? Much to my surprise - she started back up.)
-Do you do you love me
-The reason is you

sector7seven (Dead)
-Don't Follow the Stream

Me & My (Dead)
-La La Superstar
-Dub I Dub (SFW, but your co-workers might wonder at what you're smoking)

Laava
-Wherever you are (Borderline NSFW)

Labworks (Dead)
-Ibiza Sunrise

Andain
-Beautiful Things (Thanks to pidgeon above for reminding me. Should have remembered this one. SFW)

Flip and Fill
-Shooting Star (Borderline NSFW)

Voodoo & Serano
-Overload (Borderline NSFW)

Robert Miles (Beware of site musics)
-Children (SFW)
-Fable (SFW, but your co-workers will know you're smokin' somethin' good)

Plummet
-Damaged (SFW)
-50 Ways to leave your lover

Perpetuous Dreamer, aka Armen van Buuren?
-Sound of Goodbye (SFW)

Iio
-Rapture (NSFW)

Miss Jane
-It's a Fine Day (SFW)

Aura
-Floating Space
-Kathmandu
-...
-I'd list 'em all, but that'd just waste your time here reading. Be sure to check the archives, too.


--


Bonus round - These aren't quite the big names as the above list, but deserve some attention:
Sven Hamer
-Zordariok

Lagoona
-Into My Dream (Acoustic / Bjorn's mix)

Go get Dieselboy - Dungeonmaster's Guide and The Human Resource (albums). That's some real electronic music, not that pop/bubblegum tech/trancey bullsheit.:)

There are so many different types of techno and so many different techno artists that make both great songs and horrible songs that a recommendation is hard. My techno choice, however, is from songs that people make on depthcore.com. They're free legally, too...

What sites could I use to get some free music?

http://www.djdawn.de.be/ - has some of DJ Dawn mixes, mostly older ones though. Also not sure of the speed from there, its an old link I had.

You can probably find them on other sites, he published the MP3s online so they're free, if you can find them.

Sandstorm, by Darude. The video is one of the weirdest and completely unconnected music videos that I've ever seen, though, so be warned. SFW, I would guess, but the coworkers might look at ya funny.


Edit:
Better audio in this one.

Ah, old skool trance. Try iio - Rapture or Alice Deejay - better off alone. Or anything by ATB.
