-- Is trance still trance?
Pages (2): « 1 [2]

Uplifting, Euphoric, Epic.....these are the words that, to me, describe Trance.

Trance is a story. It is dramatic. It takes you on a journey .

When I hear Trance music, I see thousands of people in a stadium, with their hands in the air and smiles on their faces. It brings everyone together; the crowd's energy becomes one.

SEX!!! Yes, good trance is like good sex. It takes it's time in building the moment, the feeling. It doesn't need to rush. It just builds and builds until it reaches that ultimate climax!

exactly.

Trance has a cinematic appeal to it that other genres generally don't. Which is why I think a trance musical score would be amazing for a movie. They should do that more often. Like BT did a pretty good job scoring for the movie Go.


... but i digress... sorry...

I agree 100%, and there are still plenty of tracks coming out that do live up to this which is great!

i heard this in his interview on bpm presents... (bpm tv).

I dunno, if anyone went to Orkidea the other week, I'd have to say that I'm glad some djs are still carrying the trance flame.

Tis true, trance is evolving, it does so every year.

AVB is also still carrying the flame.

Orkidea was sick! No doubt he does carry that torch, along with alot of others.

Trance is evolving, but it is still trance.

It is the same with almost all music. Music constantly changes, evolves and takes elements from other music styles. As long as it still holds true to it's root, it should be categorized as the same genre. Only from a different point in time.

Judging by the productions coming out recently, I think trance is getting better every day.

As man evolves so will every genre of music.... Everyones take on their own music experiences are different... Trance will sound like trance, if you believe thats the way that it should sound.. Individual tracks dont sound so "trance-like" as say a set by a live DJ on stage... Everything an everyone needs time to be able to find their place an sound...
But thats my opinion...

haha hippy alert

the reason why trance music is called trance is bcuz it puts u into a trancey state. so if its doing that for u (it is for me atleast) than its still trance and called trance. its just slightly different then the earlier trance.
but imagine if it didnt change and just got remained the same always. that would be boring and sooner or later the music would be dead. so it HAD to change (it wasnt intentional but it just so happened)

Originally posted by Funkyfun can the stuff be relayed on 8080 instead of 8624.do know that if it becomes a firewall friendly port....u will also be able to capture the work audience thus extending the reach of 2hp.ca radio...

I am moving the station to port 80 sometime tonight. This should solve the listening problem for anybody behind a firewall.

Sweet. I will post something on the site when it has been transferred.

great news...thanks RJ...this will def make my EDM@work life abit easier

2HP.ca Radio is now firewall compatable. The broadcast now uses port 80 - which should allow all users behind a firewall to connect without problems.

Please update your stream bookmarks.

To answer the original question...

Trance is just evolving... like every other musical genre. Where in the past, more acid-sounding trance tracks would carry the night (Gamemaster, Words, Saltwater), now (as far as I can tell) it's higher-energy high-synth and "bubblegum" synth throwing it down (Whiteroom, Communication)

It's all trance in the end, and it's all beautiful euphoric bliss to my ears

Man, when I first saw "Run Lola Run" (an amazing, highly interesting and unique german film) years ago, i LOVED its fuckn soundtrack... some AMAZING edm on there... but i think i may be actually techno, not trance... its been awhile, so im not positive
