Originally posted by hypronix Let's not forget that some types of music (oriental mainly) still have, as a purpose, meditation. And trance, if it comes from one of those types, still holds that characteristic. But only the "chosen ones" could reach the higher state of mind. And the same happens with trance. hey Daffer! take care! she is a valuable lil girl! not many I know that understand trance (well I', lucky, cause my girlfriend also does.. the acid_burn..check the sig!)

Hell i'm leaving her! besides of all that she's got the most beautiful smile! and you do the same eh? peace!

Some people are trying to explain that we search a meaning after it, while actually we just love trance.

Hmmmm....maybe. But I'd still say that the appreciation for trance has to come from somewhere, and that's most likely from experience. I think that the love that a lot of you feel towards trance is much more than just a personal preference, and the reasoning behind placing all the emotion and meaning that you into the listening of trance music must be more due to who you are than to the music itself.

You can attach meaning to anything you like, and I guess we're all united in that we've been able to assign our own personal meanings to trance (though trance - as a very uplifting form of music - is probably easier to assign meaning to than genres of music that are less melodic, which is why you'll probably find more people passionate about trance than about UK garage for instance).

Trance have its origin in India, in the goa culture. There, it was all about spiritual things and so on...After europe discovered the trance, trance evoluated, there came new styles, more general styles lik melodic trance. But as we are still searching a meaning...aren't we search the meaning india had with its goa? That in some styles of trance (underground trance), there's still the meaning goa had in india? The mystical, mythic, dark, dreamy atmosphere? The higher state of mind...?

Well I think that the ideals of trance, or the meaning and ideas behind it have changed a bit since it was brought out of India. I mean there's still the whole "uplifting" vibe, which is an effect that was in there very intentionally from the beginning, but I think, if anything, trance has become more of a "tribal" form of music rather than the "spiritual/psychadelic" form of trance spear-headed in Goa. I remember reading somewhere about how tribes somewhere in the Amazon, used to (and presumably still do) use music (by beating their drums somewhere between 120 and 140 bpm) and drugs (made from poisonous leaves or plants or something I guess) to whip people into a frenzy and to dance like mad-men. There's something about that beat range though - apparently it inspires creative thought or something, which would explain why people who take e at clubs (and sometimes those who don't) claim that they can "see the music".

So you can see that things haven't really changed that much.

well, it might be true. but (again) not every1 is listening to trance. so 1 can't say if this music is better b/c of that or is just... another style of music.
and about the experiences, it might be the same thing. alike experience has brought us to trance, brought us together.

with one thing I agree... that appreciation 4 trance comes from somewhere. (duh! that's what this thread is about! yeah, I know... )

nothing wrong with reflecting on the past.

I used to think my early 20s was where it was at. Looking back, I'm not sure you could pay me to put up with that shit again. I'm sure I'll say the same about my early 30s in a few more years.

even though a lot of drugs were involved in my early 20's i have no regrets and had some of the best and craziest times of my life back then. i got to live the rockstar life with VIP and endless amonts of cocaine and after paries and bla bla bla. i needed to get it out of my system. it was definitely good times but i'm over it. that's just how it goes when you get older.

I read the first few posts and now I feel like killing puppies.

emotionally advanced, maybe. gifted is 1 hell of a word though . . .. .. . .. .
