I think this is true too, but the fact is that there are many, many more producers now a days than there were about 5 years ago, so there are a ton more crappy tracks too. It's just a dilution of talent, like when a sports league gets too many teams, like baseball. One of the many reasons there are so many more homeruns hit these days is because of the amount of teams and number of pitchers needed on each team, you have to start selecting worse and worse pitchers, which are easier to hit homeruns off of. Same thing in trance, the more producers that spring up, the more bad ones there are bound to be. But there are still plenty of quality producers who make amazing tracks, just have to find them.

That's actually the reason I listen to Trance and other EDM, because it gives me that shiver down my back. Other music styles not so much or not at all.

Max Graham still owns...

Offer Nissim is good

Leama and Moor are nice

other then that i dont find trance my cup of tea or bar of fignewtons


and i know its all progressive trance but hey its what i like so everyone can so screw themselves if they disagree

music is universal one mans opinion doesnt make music everyone hears the same song a little differently get over it...

lol, took the words right out of my mouth

but come on, there's still SOME very decent stuff coming out these days too, which in fact is pretty surprising - i would have thought they'd have run out of ideas by now

Trance has been around for yonks and people that think it started in 1999 need to do a bit of research, early 90's was when it first emerged as it evolved out of techno.

For me alot of the best trance records pre-date 1998, although there were some corkers produced in 1998 and 1999. 1999 was just the year it hit the commerical mainstream and when most people got to hear about it.

A few tunes for people to seek out who dont know what pre-99 trance sounds like

Lil Kwan - Point Zero
Vernons Wonderland - Vernons Wonderland
Energy 52 - Cafe Del Mar
Nalin & Kane - Beachball
Age of Love - Age of Love
Jam & Spoon - Oddysey To Anyoona (Album edit)
Orbital - Lush 3.1
Orbital - Halcyon On+On
Orbital - Belfast
Marmion - Schonenberg
Chicane - Offshore
Salt Tank - Eugina
Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea
Sven Vath - Accident In Paradise
LSG - Netherworld
Paul Van Dyk - Forbidden Fruit
BT - Flaming June
Sasha & Marie - Be As One
etc etc etc

Theres loads ive left off, but if you dont know what that sound like you really cant comment on trance pre-99.

fuck that , i dont care if it changes, I'm always going to stay true to trance

that doesnt make any sense, you cant be unique and innovative ten years later if your playing the same stuff, so producers change with the times and people get mad about it, but if they didnt, then people would get mad because there not innovating

Originally posted by Prodigy Child I was just thinking, I been looking into a bunch of threads and there was alot of bashing going on about producers not producing tracks like they used to, I've come to the conclusion its 1 of 2 things: 1)its missing that surtain something that sends a screaming shiver down your back. 2)we are just getting older and don't want the music to change into where its going. just a thought, anybody else got ideas as to why music doesn't "seem" as good as it was 5-6 years ago?

uve been listenning to the wrong DJ's man .... TIESTO PVD all tha way

You can still play the same stuff without having to change the style. What i'm talking about is the "forumla" everyone follows now. Intro - Body - Climax - Body - Outro. Of course every track is like this but at least try not to be so blunt with it, ya know? It's like the days of enjoying simple yet complex melodies are gone and all people care about are anthem power house synths.

Could it be because people are continuously coming into electronic music, and that anthem power house synths are most accessible? Then it takes them a while to even realize that other genres of electronica can be good also? I don't know.

Originally posted by romain_2k2c Some people tend to grow musically speaking, some not, like some people tend to become mature in some fields of real life (socializing, etc.)... Music was different in 1999, life was different. Everybody was dancing on Gouryella, Britney Spears and the gang... it was cheese, and that was it... Nowadays, I'm part of these people which just can't dance on this kind of music, but prefer stuff such as Dresden & Schultz, or even good old music, which is a music which will never turn outdated because of its nature... it's like trend... trends change, people change, there is no sense turning back: we've got to live our life based on our feelings and not about the ways we used to feel some years ago. It's the same question if you ask yourself: will I call back my ex-gf ? No way !

You've hit on some interesting points. As we get older, there are special periods in our lives which we remember having more fun in than others. Life in 99 was so different; it was near the turn of the millenium, and there was more bright hope and optimism, hence more of the upbeat dance/pop songs such as Alice DJ or Eiffel 65 or madonno that (for those of us who liked that stuff back then) sounds kinda cheesy and dated now. The world evolves, and music evolves with it, and with the exception of the fortunate few that become an integral part of the musical evolution (IE Sasha and other pioneers of trance), we really have no control in the directon that music takes. It seems that when it comes to the music, most of us live in the past or the present, and that it's only those blessed with creative genius that get to live out the future of sound.
