OMFG ISHKUR'S GUIDE

I think it has to do with the emotions trance tends to evoke. Things like hope, happiness, thrills, suspense, grandeur, and all out euphoria. As you get older, you tend to see life for what it really is (generally shit with small bits of "yay" here and there that are short lived), so you tend to lose your enthusiasm for the music that helped fuel your philosophy on life.

SO do you think that hardcore Trance heads just haven't "grown up" yet?
Oh and life is only shit with yay bits if that's how you make and live it. Mine is quite the opposite.

I'm almost 28. Former Captain in the US Army, BA degree, did tour in Iraq.

I must not be grown up yet.

They just have a different personality and outlook on life.

Stop harassing me. I don't have the answers to everything.

If you feel the need to say that to a random stranger on a forum to make yourself feel more adequate and me feel like an idiot, then I'd say you aren't grown up yet.

It's just music.

Stop trying to be Freud. He was kind of an idiot.

How is wanting to know your thoughts and reasons behind them harassing? If you can't handle a few simple questions to which you obviously know the answers to if you made statements as you did, then...

When I'm bored, I tend to respond to threads haphazardly. I don't necessarily put thought into my posts. I just type away, and hit Reply.

Kinda like now.

The c0r is especially good for this.

actually, i would say the best trance songs are the ones with the really sad melodies.

I got into Trance like many around 98-99 but I think my peak was around 02-05 when I was up on all the new stuff that was coming out. I also used to listen to ASOT and GDJB religiously so I was really into that style. Today, I've lost track of the trance scene a lot compared to years past. Progressive Trance is still my favorite genre to spin, but I've gotten into the various forms of "house" out there over the last 2 years or so because I can get more gigs down here under that style and it does better at house parties. But I actually thoroughly enjoy "house" in its own right anyway, but not the real cheesy commercial (XM-BPM) type crap.

Ill throw down a set while goofing off with friends but Im into breaks and house for the most part.

Posted by limin_li on Jan-06-2008 07:23:

Yeah, but far as spinning trance...EEEEEkkk there are no good tunes for a good set. Unless I am spinning all the pre 2006 stuff.

All the trance is from 97-01. I havent used them in such a long time though.

Trance is my first Love.

idk how to classify what i listen to these days, i'm all over the place lately

I'm still a pre-2003 Tiestard at heart.

I really havn't listend to anything new in a long ass time besides asot (it plays saturday nights here in toronto at 5am [on 100.7 FM]).

I really get angry when i hear asot so i just don't bother downloading anything. I don't know who's 'hip' these days either.

I think every genre of music has its 'peak' years, and then quickly gets taken over by "The man" and money is made.

happend with trance, happend with rock, happend to house, happend to rap, happend to metal, happens to everything.

I think drum and bass /jungle will be the next electroic exploit, and it will be a damn shame. i dont like dnb, but i know that it's in its peak for the next few years.
same with techno, actually i think techno's already on the downhill road to fail with the new minimal that's going to collide with electro to make electech, which will be balls awful.
