So? It counts for nothing. If that track came first, it defined the original trance. Everything else called trance that does not sound the same as the original trance is not trance. The KLF made more than one trance track in the late 80s- Last Train to Trancentral had a 1989 Pure Trance Original as well. Dance2Trance came a year or two after these tracks, so it changed the definition of trance. Just like later tracks changed the sound of trance as well. It's as simple as that.

So you're saying two guys made their own genre which defined trance and lasted for all of two years, if that...
There is only one definition of trance. It can change within those defined boundaries but if it breaks those boundaries then it becomes something other than trance.

Once again, you've never heard the track, so you don't know if any other trance of it's type was made back then. I'm not massively familiar with primordial trance, but I'd be surprised if other trance of it's type wasn't made back then.
You can't say "there is only one definition of trance." It's like saying that because modern house sounds very little like original house, and that prog house and hard house sound nothing like it, they can't be house.
Genres change you stubborn bastard, why don't you just give up your argument, because you aren't God and you can't just keep pulling these sweeping "a track can only define if..." and "there is only one definition of..." statements and pass them off as music lore. Just because Supreme Overlord Radagast has grown tired with today's mega-anthem trance doesn't mean he can wave his wand of arrogance and make it suddenly not real trance, despite what the rest of the music world says.
system-j & radagast: congratulations, you have been bitching for 5 pages.
if it sorts out your argument, KLF made the first "trance" track. end of.

Well I'm fed up of his arrogant, elitist and hypocritical crap. He's been constantly annoying on these boards of late, taking every opportunity to slate epic trance, derail threads about epic trance and generally act is if it's wrong to enjoy epic trance.
So I thought I'd follow an argument through. And when he starts making comments like:
quote:
It pertains because they think that's when trance was invented. How would they know what the state of trance is now if they don't even try to learn what it was like before.
When he didn't even know the first trance tracks, I wasn't going to sit there quietly.
