Partying till eternity that is. So that answers that question. There is a lot of cheese out there but true TAs know the good stuff from the bad stuff for the most part. Peace, Trance and Happiness.

Yup for me its dying. I prefer house/breaks and hip hop now, but there still are a few (just a few) good trance tracks every now and then.

The bitterness.. Not that I participated in the flaming, but I think I can answer your question; If being a "cocksucker" prevents newbies etc. to constantly repeat questions instead of doing some thinking and research on their own, I think I like "cocksuckers". Your question could have been answered just by reading posts in this forum and checking out a couple of trance-sites. Instead you ask a question that has been asked and answered one million times before (overstatement to make a point). This is why people react and "HAVE to run their mouths".

Anyway, newbies are ment to be flamed. If you don't do your homework and try to use your brain, you should just get used to it

I doubt any genre of music will die a scene just re invents itself.

TRANCE IS DEAD.

Anyone who posts on this site and asks if trance is dead is an idiot...HELLO THE WHOLE ENTIRE FUCKING SITE IS DEVOTED TO TRANCE.
Do you see websites with forums devoted to swing music. I think not.

In the underground trance scene it is still alive and kicking but looking at the charts its getting worse, and especially albums. This year there was no proper Euphoria, and a lot of major albums slipped a lot. There's been this annoying tendancy to look back at classic trance rather than focusing on the new stuff.

1999 and 2000 were great years, full of experimentation and chart success. 2001 dimmed slightly, but the music was more modern. If you look at 2002 all the big hits were remakes. The charts always reward originality in trance, so when Scooter's hardcore/trance crossover burst onto the scene, the charts lapped it up even if we hated it.

Anyway trance has been fairly major since 1996, so its seven years old now. If you look at rave and hardcore's domination in the early 90s it only lasted six years so we're living on borrowed time really. Soon a new style of dance will emerge and be the rage for a while.

Can you list off some of these hits?

You should be shot.

Well there was Mauro Picotto with Pulsar 2002, Agnelli and Nelson with Everyday 2002, Traveller and In-Motion, the massive remix of Energy 52 by Marco V, then all the Ministry of Sound backed garbage like Flip and Fill which were all covers of early 90s happy hardcore tracks... A lot of others I can't quite bring to mind but I'd hear them, think finally an original release then find it was a re-release a month later.

True words.

But ... just to admit: REAL trance had died already years ago...

The word "trance" is so broad it just seems too hard to say it's dead. This subject sucks!

The problem is when producers/DJs that have been around a long time hog the spotlight and get attention for lack-lustre productions just because of their past accomplishments...

We all know there are plenty of young talented producers/DJs out there that aren't getting the recognition they deserve just because many of the the old schoolers are hesistant to give them a chance.

Also - every generation is becoming more computer-literate than the one before it - lots of ppl are experimenting with making music just because they have the tools available to them at home. Just take a look in the Amateur section on this site and you'll see that.

Point being that once Trance reaches saturation in its current strong markets then it has to already be on a path of expansion elsewhere to keep things evolving. The internet and MP3 have done both of those for electronica - remove the latter and your exposure is limited to clubs/raves & albums, remove the former and you have no economically viable avenue to spread the sound globally to new regions - resulting in less demand to fly over DJs to spin and less familiarity with names that would result in album/vinyl sales.

I wrote about this stuff over a year ago.

this thread is so classic,i remember threads very similar to this in 2001 when progressive came around....i wish there was some originality here. Fact of the matter is trance is not dead there are many young artists up and coming, to be honest this is classic alarmist BS. Go look through the other dumb trance is dead threads from back in the day....2002 came along and poof trance is the shit again. You guys really need to open your horizons past 2 weeks...
