I picked one up on Ebay for $400.

And I thought Trance wasn't very popular when I listened it in 1994. Compared to then IMO it's massively popular now.
Probably more people now listen to a weekly A.S.O.T. show then back then listened to trance all over the world, which would have been just Europe probably.

I know i listen to A.S.O.T every week, still listening to ASOT 500. I go from that to Above & Beyond's Weekly Radio show. On siriusXM they have a top 20 countdown on Tuesdays i listen to aswell.

When do you find the time to pray?

It's another kind of popularity, in 1994 trance had just bornt, but i'd say in the 2000-2005 trance was massively popular, not the good records but the most commercial stuff in the form of eurodance, hard dance, but clubs played it daily wasn't something fresh like it would be now when you rarely hear a trance tune in a mainstream club.

Surely ASOT has now more listeners than ever (15 millions i believe, stunning) but go ask 100 people in the street about :

-Armin van Buuren
-Ferry Corsten
-Oliver Lieb
-Sasha

Possibly 10 out 100 would know who AvB is 2-3 in the case of Ferry and for statistical beauty we will count 1 for Lieb and Sasha.

Now ask the same 100 about :

-David Guetta
-Swedish House Mafia
-Rihanna
-Afrojack

You'll see that 90% have heard about most of them.

So in conclussion trance now has attracted more people but the world seems more unaware of trance than ever.

This is illogical but it is what it happens, last week Leon Bolier was a worldwide Twitter trend topic, there must be a lot of hidden trance fans, maybe confessing you are a trance addict is now embarrasing, otherwise i can't understand why if the "#trancefamily" is so big you rarely find trance heads around you.

However the current commercial house is focused to casual edm listeners, they don't know what the fuck the djmag is, IDMAS or ASOT is but conform a big fanbase for this djs.

PS: IDMAS this year are more a joke than ever, must be a leaked hoax.

I don't know why some of you are taking the piss, i thought this was a forum for Trance lovers...

I don't know how my post relates to Bohemian Rhapsody so whatever. The music and radio in the 70's was a lot different than what is played today. I hear Rhapsody at many rock/classic rock channels but never at pop channels. That is what I was referring at, not all radio channels

Originally posted by xpand3r Classic In all honesty, EDM will never be popular as those artists you mentioned because the songs are longer, more complex, and could get repetitive. You need to come out with 3-4 minute track with a simple lyrics/hook to get any airplay @ US radios and get exposure. I listen to variety of house, techno, trance, tech-house, etc and my brother still thinks it all sounds the same. I was listening to Armin on my car one day while filling up and a guy approached me next car told me "I love that techno shit".

Dude, everyone in America calls any kind of EDM techno...at least that has been my experience. I don't think they've ever heard of the word electronic music or house or trance. They just have heard it called "techno".

Thats true, i mean I was born in England and moved to the States in 2001 but every time i play a song for a friend they confuse it with Techno,

Got to be a troll post.

Originally posted by TechnoTranceRM Hey all, this is my first official post here and this is a question thats always been on my mind, i Personally love that trance is underrated because it makes me feel unique, only because that no one i ever talk to listens to Trance music but when I show people a few songs their always asking me to burn them a CD or give them a name of a song. I recently stumbled upon it, when i went back to England to see family in 2009 the first Trance song i heard was Chicane's Poppiholla and I was like "what is this music!!!" When i went home i just went onto youtube and looked all over the place and now i think i have built up a pretty descent library of trance music. Anyway back to the topic, I just hate what todays music with Eminem, Rhianna, Kanye, and Brittney, it just seems like Everyone and their mother is into it, I mean I like how trance is underground and it makes you feel like your more of a defined person for liking something that is barely known. I hope Trance is never ever popularized and it just stays the way it is. My favorite artists are Chicane, Mat Zo, Arty, ATB, BT, Above & Beyond, Markus Shultz, Robert Nickson, and DJ Eco at the moment. My least Favorite is Tiesto, i think hes a sellout because he collabs with people along the lines of who i just mensioned. Anywho i wasn't listening to the classic Trance back in the day and i always see how people talk on here or anywhere in general how trance music was better back then so if you guys guys could tell me a tracks or people back then that were good Id appreciate it. Trance have put a big dent into my life, i even went out and got the JP8000 synthesizer because people told me it practically gave birth to Trance.

Congrats on your discovery. Dont take the responders to this thread too seriously if they are razzing you.

songs like Sash - Ecuador or ATB - 9pm to name a few, are trance and were included in many dance compilations, the same for other tracks that were just "dance" and got eventually included in some cheesy trance compilations due to their success, in any case dance and trance shared more elements than now but you found tracks like Traffic or Satellite on the top of the general charts along with the pop/rock hype of the moment, hence it was popular.

Just because a track has trancy elements and is popular doesn't make trance popular. And a track isn't trance just because it gets included in a trance compilation. Trance has never been 'massively popular'.

No, having a couple of tracks from a genre in the top 20/40 charts does not mean the genre is massively popular. And no it doesn't depend on how you define 'massively'.

I was listening to ASOT 500 yesterday, it was a live show in Miami and they had like a livestream with photos you could view while you were listening and there must have Been anywhere from 300 to 500 people there, I'd call that a good turn out.

lol what? 300-500 ppl? thats indeed very much.

500/6,800,000,000.00 = 7.4*10^-6%. I wouldn't call that a good turn out.

This should help you!!
