i really hate those songs that should be a classical song and not a trance theme. I def. feel u guys on the overly melodic tunes.
Dance isn't dead, but perhaps trance is. I notice your account entirely deals with trance, but this year there's been plenty of interesting non-trance... some great house tunes, and a lot of good albums, from Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, Faithless, Beastie Boys...
WORD to the opinions of c3sharp and tobias we all think the same 
at 25 I'm probably older than most on here, I've been using the internet for about6 years and in all that time theres always been a debate about the death of dance music. Dance music will never die as long as we are all here no more than rock will die. ITs popularity has posible peaked in the late 90s but its always goes back underground and develops.

| Originally posted by Polaroid21 I've posted a similar thread on many other forums in the past, but I figured I might as well try it again on the Godfather of all dance sites. The dance scene here in the States is struggling to stay afloat. I am from Connecticut and about four years ago we had this boom in the club scene. Numerous afterhour clubs opened up, raves were huge, and the music was great. I would go to my local record store and purchase a compilation CD and usually I'd be satisfied with my purchase. The Euphoria series was great...Oakey, PVD, and Tiesto were releasing top-notch albums...even Ministry of Sound was decent. Fast forward a few years later...all the clubs shut down (drugs) and are replaced by bars playing top 40, which consists of Hip Hop and Punk. The dance shelves at the record stores have shrunk dramatically and have been pushed to the back of the store. I can't purchase a compilation CD without regret because most of the new tracks are terrible, either that, or they cram a bunch of old tracks on the CD and call it a "Best of..." or "Classics". I see more of those these days than any new material. Also, can we stop with remixing and remaking of those "Best of" and "Classic" tracks. I don't want to hear another remix to Cafe Del Mar or Delerium's Silence. Let them Rest in Peace, or at least give them time to wear off..like about 10 years! Maybe I live in a bad location, my only real connection to this genre of music is through the internet and compilation CDs. I'm just wondering what went wrong? I don't want to hear "the Music style has changed"...because honestly it hasnt really, It's all going backwards it seems. Just venting my thoughts, I hope I made some sense. |
