Is typical emotional trance beginning to turn you off?

As always, I've been listening to a lot of trance lately, and up to this point I've been so loaded up with uplifting trance that all evoke emotions of love or sadness, that I'm starting to get a little turned off to it. Right now the songs that I'm really digging are the tunes without the typical "trance" emotions. Songs like

Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar (of Course)
DJ Tiesto - Lethal Industry
Ferry Corsten - Punk
Three Drives - Air Traffic
Solicitous - Furthermost
Cequenza - Deep Blue

Does anybody else feel the same way? I like the uplifting stuff, I think it's just been kinda outplayed as of late. Maybe I'm just not listening to the right DJ's...

I agree 100%

uplifting trance is really beginning to shit me
i cant take too much of it.. its getting a bit corny should I say?

Im into a lot of techy stuff atm.. think I might stay here for a while

hmm... i wouldn't say i'm being turned off by it. I mean.. i still love Cosmicman's "I Love You" and ferry's stuff is still great. If anything... maybe the effect isn't as strong as it used to be?

Oh BTW, i've taken a liking to FC's Punk lately as well

uplifting forever

Ive always liked uplifting and I always will, but the tracks i love the most are the ones that ar brimming with energy, there that ones that get me going, whether it be dark, uplifting whatever, as long as its energetic i tend to like it.

it kind of depends on my mood, but it does seem like i've built up some kind of tolerance towards uplifting. probably for that reason some deep prog & dnb tracks have given me some pretty amazing feelings.

i'm afraid i'm starting to treat uplifting as a genre a bit on the cheesy side. god forbid!

not that i'd bash it, i still love stuff by tiesto and avb, fc, etc at any time

I know what you mean when you say emotional uplifting is a bit of a turn off, cause it has gotten to that point for me too, but you should realize that its not the music's fault. It's still great music its just that you probably overplayed it like I did and like I think many other people did. I think uplifting trance is the easiest music to overplay (compared to progressive or psy for example).

i'm still addicted as ever.. but getting more into chilled stuff like Solar Stone than euphoric uplifting really.

Posted by DJ_Skaya on Jan-19-2003 20:20:

Yeah, I still like uplifting, it's just I've over=dosed on it and need a break from it for a while. I guess it's back To my Digweed and Max Graham for a while. I haven't explored any breaks yet (beyond a couple of Hybrid tunes), maybe I should start.

This comment is probably from personal taste and some ignorance, but most of the time I get tired of psy in the middle of the first track

I fully agree, but I find having a break from it does work, and it all comes flooding back! shivvers and all!!

Youre not permanently losing interest in emotional tracks. Its just a phase. You got tired of it and now youre listening to non-emotional tracks. Later you might get tired and listen to harder stuff, and then later on you might get tired of that and listen to more progressive stuff, then after that you might get tired of progressive and go back to your emotional tracks. Its all part of the phases of only listening to electronic music.

Honestly i still love it. But i've always listend to all types of music so I'm not bored in anyway. To me as long as the music is great, i'll listen to it. For some reason I have wide tastes. I like all styles, but quality of course, not shite that a lot recently has been coming out.

cheers
