-- Uplifting trance is dead
Pages (4): « 1 [2] 3 4 »

musical styles come and go, but rarely die. uplifting may be ebbing now, but given some time it will become more popular again.

uplifting trance seems to be a style which can draw in fans from other musical genres, more so than many kinds of electronica. it is for this reason that i doubt it will go away completely. maybe as trance bcomes more mainstream we will see a resurgence.

People like you will always be into something until it's no longer seen as cool to do so, and the scene doesn't need that. There are a lot of tracks worth hearing in many styles, techno, psy, epic trance, tech-trance etc, if you really dislike trance that much then fuck off to progaddict or breaksaddict or whichever one is the one you want to hump next. Trance will never die, the only thing dying is the support of people who don't really contribute to it in the first place, and that's a good thing cos it might get better again if everyone and their pet cat stopped trying to like it.

Word! It's the circle of EDM...tell everyone why ur so cool that u listen to the "less-popular" stuff...then it get's to be huge, and all the sudden it sucks now....isn't that what you wanted though? Didn't you start complaing to us why we should listen to your "ultra-cool" genre? And once we do, wouldn't it suck because it'll get popular?

I'll always love trance...sometimes it's harder to find the quality songs than at other times, but I will always find trance to love and trance to spin...whether it's ranked no.1 or no. 111111111111 it's always no.1 in my heart as well as those dedicated TA's out there. I respect other styles, and I really enjoy some techno and prog tracks...but not as much as trance. And I'm not going to start humpin the next genre simply cus it's more "underground"

trance is basically eurodance, all cheesy shit.

the finer elements of trance, few i must admit, have been taken out and survive in prog.

Prog is just as dead as uplifting trance.

Good genres never die. Sure, everything hits a rut now and then, but everything is eventually resurrected in one form or another. I agree that uplifting trance and progressive have both been in a solid slump for quite a while, but that doesn't mean the styles are necessarily over and done. It just means that the next "big thing" to hit either scene is going to be exceptionally "big".

Uh, you're a few years late. Prog took over in 2001-2002.

And uplifting isn't exactly dead, just in a coma on life support.

Haha, fair enuff. Sorry man - Should have guessed that from your profile! Doh!


Getting back to the subject, can I ask what are all you prog heads doing on a "Tranceaddict" site, slating Trance?

Wasting your own time by the looks of it.

yep

says senior TA

Yup, leave it to the Americans to start something like this...

...oh wait, I'm American...sigh...and we wonder why folks from almost every other country hate us.

Come on now, it's not dead because people still listen to it, myself included. I love trance and will always love it. Just because I don't really listen to prog mean I have to come on here or some other message board to say it's crap or dead. Listen to what it is you listen to and go about your business...

Fuck. Not another one of these mindless threads.

::trying to care::

Usesless thread # 1,213,354,816, jus because you dont listen to it doesnt mean its dead. I used to think like that too, jus because I didnt watch Drew Carey, I thought no one ele did, but he proved me wrong for 8 horrible years.

you stole my line, biznatch . remember the other thread???

as far as uplifting goes, its pretty fresh to me, i'm new. but at least he's only 3/4th dumbass, cause he didn't say that all trance is dead like the rest of them do.

This thread really is quite pathetic, and the sad part about it is that about 95% of the people who have responded to it aren't making it any better. You can't blame this on the thread's author being an American, either. You're all just as lame for engaging in such a petty argument.

Seriously... I don't see why anyone has to slam genres that they don't particularly like to listen to.

This "warcry" of trancers is as nearly worn out as these threads themselves. For starters, its flat out wrong taking into the account the number of assumptions it makes. It's a lot easier to file everyone under their own little stereotyped categories than it is to face the real issue. The ratio of shit:good in trance long since went pear-shaped. To be fair, you can only combat "fire with fire"

It's a sign when people ITK consider "above and beyond", MIKE, Paul Van Dyk and "rank 1" as the "premiere artists" of an ENTIRE genre of music that it has probably gone to hell. When these artists aren't too busy making songs that abuse the already tired whore of "epic trance" (which a large many seem to thing is synonymous with "trance", I'm afraid I find it to be poorly representative), they are busy trying to come off as serious or whatnot while simultaneously producing total shit that is insulting to your intelligence. What I consider music doesn't come with a , it doesn't come pre-packaged into some nice little container format that is fit to abuse ad nauseum.

In what I find fit to call music there exists dynamics. Every song doesn't revolve around 3 minutes of beat-less masturbation and another 3 minutes of intro and another 3 minutes of exit and the other 30 seconds delegated to a drumroll. When you can skip to a completely different part in an album and not have to listen for 30 seconds to realize you're listening to a different track. These specific things might not apply to every single track by above producers as I'm sure the quick witted among us will point out but I'm confident you can piece together what I'm saying by now.


No doubtedly I'm already inciting blood pressure spikes in some "epic-trancer's" brain as s/he reads this message. Perhaps some flaming will eliminate said condition.

Well, let's play this game like you just did with another genre, like prog. I could say about the exact same thing as you did here about trance. Everywhere I go on TA I see people praising Luke Chable, �zgur Can and Markus Schulz, even though half the productions they and all the mindless copycats churn out these days are boring effect wankery that goes absolutely nowhere and with barely enuff ideas to keep a track interesting for half of the track's duration. This shows that prog is well down the path of stagnation just like trance is with its overused supersaw blare. The fact that the fanbase of the genre have a large ratio of pathetic elitist attitudes makes it even worse. Judging this way, prog is just as "dead" as trance.

However, if people stopped judging either genre on all the artists the massive hype is directed at, one would find more than enuff material that suggests that there's plenty of talent and creativity present.
