Ah man so many of these are classic trance artists.B.T. and Benassi are two of my favorites.
IIRC Lumines 2 was pretty mainstream oriented (Missy Elliot, Black Eyed Peas, Gwen), so it's really refreshing to see a lot of the proper trance/electronica scene represented. I may give this a look -- thanks Jordan!

Aphex Twin, Ken Ishii, Orbital, Goldfrapp and others...good taste. Get some Zomby and Flying Lotus on there! But yeah this is my jam.
This actually un-sold me on pre-ordering this game. After listening to all of these tracks on youtube, there were only 7 of them that I actually liked and one of those is just for the credits... I'm really, really glad to see the series getting back to it's trance/electronica roots but many of these songs just feel very dated to me.
Even setting my personal disinterest in many of the songs, this seems way over priced considering the massive lack of content. $40 for 33 playable tracks? Considering that DDR 5th Mix on the PS1 had 47 different songs available, 33 tracks for a music game on a current generation system is just pathetic, even for a portable. Hell, Rockband Unplugged on the PSP had 41 songs built into it. I could overlook this lack of content if the game were only $20 but the fact is that it's not.
I'll still end up picking this game up, but it's not going to be until it hits the bargain bin.

@DrSquid yeah 20 bucks is a good price for this, even though I heard that there are 10 more unlicensed tracks in the game made by one of the creators.
@DrSquidopolis Lumines isn't a music game. it is a puzzle game whose presentation depends on its soundtrack. there are 10 unlicensed tracks which brings the total number to 43/44, but that is beside the point. i think the first game only had 24 skins. but you are not supposed to play through the game only once. no one does. it isn't like DDR or Rockband where you are trying to getting the highest score on a single song. you can if you want but Challenge mode is what people play. Lumines, like all puzzle games, rely on its replayability. on top of that, you have to give people a reasonable chance to unlock all the skins. they could have 100 songs but 80% of the people buying the game would never get a chance to hear all of them in-game.
