-- Any-1 Like The Old Trance Better Than The New???
Pages (2): « 1 [2]
To JayD: I thought that how the DJs change their repertoire is a sign of how trance in general changes over time, wouldn't you agree? Hence the post.
OLD TRANCE !!
WELL WELL WELL.. the old trance I love so much.. and I hate that that music is not getting much attention.. why ?!?! well, for the reason been that I was never able to experience the sound on a club or in an event.. wich would've been an awesome expereince.
Take for an example .. the sound of Matt Darey on IBIZA EUPHORIA .. who wouldnt love to hear that on a club or event.. wich I was never able to hear in such place. Still, that sound gets into me alot more then recent tunes, maybe because they are more memorable, or touch you more.. I always imagine a club with clubbers listening to Blockster -- Grooveline ( matt darey mix ) I mean.. what a track... todays trance still kicks ass.. teh progressive trance is neat if its well done.. but it dont have the same feeling as the old trance.. like .. one of my fave tunes .. Cafe del Mar -- energy 52, or Kamaya Painters -- Far from over,those tunes , will give us the nicest memories of my life, from the day that I heard it .. where I played it at the beach in sunset.. :-)
OLD TUNES ROCK
yesterday i listened to an 2 year old set done by a friend of mine and it had these wonderful tunes,
it was like much more uplifting with much more feelings and so damn deep trancin
that it sent me shivers down my spine!!
<---- is all i need to say!!!
hey guys remember Lac Terra - Paradise Connection?? played on a mixer with effects and stuff,
Whoooaaah... Perfect!!
well older trance will never go away cause it was what started it all...speaking of 97, 98, (btw future breeze - why dont you dance with me? was one amazing track) though i remember what got me into this music was the first stuff i heard when i was like 10 years old back around 1990 there was some crazy ass shit coming out then and it sounded so hot cause it was brand new and it was never heard before..so i have memories for that stuff and ill always like it, but the new stuff that comes out now is absolutely incredible..the sounds they use are amazing ( megamind - taub? is one hell of a song for example) so i cant really say if one is better than the other they both have their qualities 
of course.. who doesnt like "classics", but to tell you the truth... if i were to choose to listen to a newer tune that i wasnt that familiar with that was very good, or to listen to a very good "classic tune" that i already have imprinted in my ears... i choose the newer tune, for i like to expand my music knowledge, and there is nothing better than hearing a very good tune for the first time!! You just have to keep searching and searching until you find a tune that tingles your ear... Yes, it is very difficult finding good melodic trance nowadays, but that is the whole fun of it...The epic/melodic trance will never die in my book, for as time goes by, there is more and more knowledge, people,and technology used in making these tunes...and is trance better now than back then.... hell yes!!!

prolly cuz it was back in the day buddy .. the good days
I think 98 was the best year for trance. But now it's only getting more and more commercial.
Yeah, nowadays you just download all the new trance tunes from the internet..... maybe that just spoils the fun..
I mean, back in the days , you listned like a million times to your new bought cd but now you download about 5 new songs and 2 new livesets a day !

hmm...though trance has finally emerged from the underground and entered the public eye...doesn't mean it's gonna get bad...not with all the good djs and stuff. i mean the names of avb, tiesto, pvd and other godly djs will still turn up a question mark to a lot of people.

I like both the old and the new. But then again, I like most music in general except for rap, country/western and that elevator shit. I guess a lot of the American top 40 stuff doesn't do much for me either. I try not to limit myself to only listening to one style of music, though, especially since I've started writing and producing my own. Listening to a wide variety of music opens me up to different styles and techniques that I'll incorporate into what I'm doing. As far as what I listen to the most....trance probably tops the list but it all depends on my mood.
i think the distinction between "underground trance" and.. "commercial trance" is a viewpoint of whos listenin to it..
a track which 1 deems as being commercial may not be at all..
old trance in general i think is more underground because theres less commercial exposure..
trance has only hit radios and mainstreamed in the past several years..
5-10 years ago.. the prog.house - trance scene.. was pretty quality.. and not something which would be like.. played 24/7 on radio and tv..
thats just my view tho
I Totally agree !!! Old trance is the absolute shit !!! Most of my favorite tunes are quite old.

These songs are classics and there are very few songs out there that are as good as some of the ones listed here. It's not that there isn't good new trance out there cause there is, but because trance (and electronic music in general) has gained such worldwide popularity over the years nowadays almost everyone is making trance tunes. In the past u could expect to hear quality songs when u looked for them, these days I find more rubbish then I do quality.
I don't mind the fact that trance is definately going progreesive, and by this I mean that the music is getting more darker and there seems to be more fusion between genre's hence more tech-trance and hard trance songs are comming out. But having said that there will also be producers out there who will make Epic, uplifting trance the kind that most ppl on this forum seem to enjoy. Guys like Rank 1, Tiesto, Johan Gelien etc. will keep churning out the 'hands in the air' sounds cause it's really popular in Europe. Some DJ's like Sasha and Digweed and even PVD to a certain extent though have definately changed the type of music that they play. I'm not saying it's bad cause change is nessasary for growth but listen to PVD - Live at Ministry of Sound (1998 ?) and to his recent sets, there is definately a difference in sounds and sets.
Oakie said that 1999 was the year of trance and I have to agree cause that year was the best for anyone who went clubbin and loved trance music. Right now progressive and Tech/Trance seem to be in favor with the top DJ's but give it a few years and the Epic stuff will be back. (I Hope)
Well that's my $0.02 on the matter
PS. Please don't flame me if I said something wrong....I'm kinda stoned LOL
How old is old?
Age Of Love / Vernons Wonderland / Plastic Dreams old?
I may be new here but I've been into this stuff for about 8 years.
I remember the big kick off in the Nu-NRG scene back in 93 / 94, Marmion, Jens, Jones & Stephenson etc.
Then the explosion of the Goa sound in 96, Man With No Name, Floorplay, TIP, Dragonfly and Perfecto Fluro.
Ahh.. those were the days!

BAck in the roots and the beginnings of the rave subculture, everybody, even your pet hamster, could afford to go to these raves. With the subculture, espeically the music, b eing more in the lime light of the public eye and entertainment industry, it may become more exclusive, glamorized, and get bloated with popularity. I think it will lose some of its magic and mystere of the underground subculture. Just my opinion. |
