...sooo, these are the tunes of my soul. Painfuly honest, deep, elementary, beautiful, passionate, ancient, tribal, laconic, genetic, imperative, neon-blue, mystical, mind blowing, shivering, eternal, revelational, original, addictive, sublime, subconscious, tran(s)cendental, real, free...
They make me shiver under my skin - there are no words to describe them! ...the mentioned few adjectives only scratch the surface - "the depths below are silent" (cf. Attila József)..."Silent world" (cf. J. Cousteau)...and "whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent" (cf. L. Wittgenstein), I know, but... :)
In my heart all of them are at the 1st place. Maybe not all of them are the most recognized, but surely they made the biggest impact on me (until now). ...and there are so many more!! ...the first 10 songs. Why these? Maybe just the 1st place is fixed, and the other 9 are in "random" order?
You decide! ;)
P.S.: I know that there are numerous other trance top lists here on YouTube, but the case is that none of them was satisfactory enough for me, and not only because of the selection of the trax (although my selection should be at least as subjective as those (but perhaps a bit less pop)). For instance, many of those top lists mix the tunes (e.g. 10 tunes) together in 10 minutes, so their essence is lost (not to speak of the quality of most of such mixes). Then many top lists use cuts (i.e. parts) of the original tunes, and not their full version. I try to solve these issues by using only standalone, full, original versions (in high quality).
Heard this tune in magik 4...now trying to locate all the tracks on vinyl..awesome :))

@duncr Yeah, good observation - my favorite part (begins there) too! :-) The essence comes in there... But also 06:15 is good, although not so original, sublime, deep, and eternal as that part you mention. I fell in love with this tune partly because of that change, and "deep dive" :) Glad you like it! Would be good, if people would listen at least until then (until 03:15), or later...
