NLTA is pretty dead too

I tell ya, it's because people don't like trance anymore!

Oh well, at least I have lam and rick

Well yes the glory days of trance are over. But that's no reason to stop posting on TA

TA's FOR3VAH!!!!

Lets face it, a huge proportion of the board has moved on. It was decent trance and good trance clubs that brought the board together. Everyone felt like they were part of something, and part of something they were! It wasnt just about the music, and for most parts the music was a background noise at a place where I was having fun with a group of people I really got on with.

I am glad that I was part of it, and I feel sorry for those who missed out on it, because IMO it will NEVER be re-created the way that it was.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all.

fucking great to see ya here mate, even if it's only for a post like this

my take on it all, may ramble a bit, my heads a bit messed up still but here goes

ok so back in 1997 maybe, there were many good compilations coming out, stuff like BBE & Brainbug was helping us develop a musical liking & by 1999-2000 this peaked, with the popularity, not only from us who liked the music but those who followed trends as ours was now cool.

5 years later, America is experiencing the same boom, dj's can make more & sell out more by playing to these people who aren't fed up with seeing the same names, stale sounds & the likes. The newer watered down pop-style trance suits their ears and they are now having the same big times as we are. 2 out of every 3 regular new posters probably come from north america or Australia or other countries. TA used to spread from word of mouth when the people met each other each week & was the way they could keep in contact, now as the nights die out, and as our generation (those of us moving into the 20s etc) mature (sometimes in tastes, sometimes just not being able to do the same things due to commitments) our perspectives change on life in general. As many people know my problems i don't need to list them, but i've hosted a couple of nights & sure it probably wasn't great fun for everyone but i got to meet these like minded people & I really enjoyed that, i missed out on the whole clubbing boom, but I still know a lot about the music & I'm grateful for that.

Going back to the trends set, we've all seen the popular ones move on, either to house, funky house, progressive, techno, tech-house or whatever, but a lot of us have still stuck to our roots, sure that leaves us exposed as a group & in a minority & I think that shows in the lack of posting.

With all do respect, no way it could possibly compare to
how incredible TOTAs (Toronto) STILL are.....

Hit our forums and check the EVENTS thread - simply amazing.
Best community i've ever been a part of

2 very different communities though. a city of a million people compared to a whole country where we all live a long way apart & dont have good travel links to make regular meets, nor the talent playing to make them sppealing. you weren't around back then so you won't know so much but the ukta were great, as were nlta

i'm not sure about that, you look at some of the boards and communities like DSI, harderfaster and there is still alot of excitment going on. True theyve only been into the music for a while

the only way we can revive the glory days in any sort of minute way is to kill the french, americans, dutch and germans and start actually buying records again

man this thread is depressing.

the music helps and perhaps the golden days may not be relived but you know what if people really wanted to meet up, hang out, chill out they would make the effort to do so.

if i could meet up with a handful of UKTA's at Fight the Power '04 (and I live half the way around the world), surely those of you who live in the same areas could arrange something

unless you're all so elitist that you'd be arguing with each other the whole time

Indeed. If the music was only "background noise" anyway, I'd say the reason UKTA is dead has less to do with the music and more to do with people growing up to be responsible and boring adults.

Some of us rather stay 'forever young'. I guess we should all meet up at Berlin Dance Parade or (even better) the Zurich Streetparade. Show the world we ain't dead

But thenwhy haven't the next generation come along and taken over? You old skools dont realise how cliquey you are!From what I've heard and read, you guys seem very mistursting of everyone joining after a certain date...though i could be wrong...

There's gonna be a parade this year like the Fight the Power?

Originally posted by sykadelik There's gonna be a parade this year like the Fight the Power?

oh fucking yes please

When I was young
I never needed anyone
And making love was just for fun
Those days are gone
Livin' alone
I think of all the friends I've known
When I dial the telephone
Nobody's home

All by myself
Don't wanna be
All by myself
Anymore

it appears so! fight da power was really an experience.
last year's planet pro berlin was also great. (but very "different" )
there are some rumours regarding the "Berlin B Parade", however nothing confirmed 'till now. my last info is that permits &shit are applied for, however the date has been postponed to juli (iso june) !!
this also has been notified to city councel. the organisation claims to have sponsors plenty and already 20 float-applications
