First he played Disco/Classic House ('82-87 maybe), then Acid House ('87-'89/'90 maybe), then Trance ('91-'96/'97 maybe), then Techno again ('97-present).

That's a good post but you forgot a really big classic. Such as:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

IMO the best classic.

Chart shit isn't representitive of the whole... well I forgot the word... but it's a bad representation of all of the music.....

I mean seriously,if you look at the shit on the charts right now, no way in hell I'd want that to represent "today's" trance, in future posts in future websites such as these.

Meh... IMHO

Posted by RJT on Apr-15-2005 01:48:

Nice effort m8, I don't have time to check the whole thread, but the one error you've got for sure is that PVD was definitely not the largest millenium gathering on the planet for Y2K, I'm fairly sure that distinction goes to Phish at Big Cypress Indian Reservation in Florida...

At least 90,000 tickets sold, so I don't know that it was THE largest, but definitely dwarfs 25,000

Cheers,

RJT

That will have been compiled from DJ charts- it represents what DJs were playing most in those years. The UK singles chart never looked quite like that, although in 1990-1992 it wasn't far off.

Re: Small history of Trance

Great History !!!

Posted by Spacey Orange on Aug-02-2006 05:56:

I'm not sure who coined the word trance (I'm guessing that it was tossed around since the 70's), but I was just reading Electronic and Experimental Music (Scribners. 1985) by Thomas B. Holmes and came across an interesting quote (for whatever it's worth).

Discussing voltage control devices and in particular sequencers he writes:

quote:
A sequencer produces a repeated sequence of DC control voltages that are fed into a VCO [voltage conrolled oscillator]... The sequencer is typically used to provide steady rhythms and harmonic lines that can be repeated while other sounds are generated simultaneiously. This technique is often used in rock music and is strongly illustrated in the steady, trancelike rhythms that characterize the music of such groups as Tangerine Dream and Kraftwerk.

False! You dont need drugs to trip on Trance. YOu just need to enjoy it!

i never said that u NEED them
but face facts the dance scene was built up around drugs the scene wouldnt exist without drugs the music is made with drugs in mind while most of the time produced by people on drugs see any pattern forming? so if u dont like drugs tough there a part of the scene get used to it.
Also i never said anything about tripping u cant be a drug taker with comments like 'YOu just need to enjoy it!' cause if u had tried it u would know that a night is alot more enjoyable on drugs

Posted by s3nate on Aug-03-2006 23:02:

Thanks, it was really informative.

And even bigger thanks for posting a Legend B track (it would have been even better if you posted End of a Season or Feel).

The thing I have to say that may be a little wrong with it is the old 1993 raves usually had way more people than 500. Mayday 1994 had a crowd of 40,000. But I am not sure if they were playing trance. In that time I guess it is kind of hard to tell the difference between all those genres. So I just call it 'Rave'.

You mentioning The Meltdown made me realize I bought this compilation in 1994 and looking at the tracks I think it's an awesome compilation now with many bombs on it:

No word of Goa back then.

As a Jam&Spoon fan, Stella at the time didn't make me say wow that's awesome trance, this 1993 one and e.g. Alien Factory did:

One of the best threads here on TA.. Good job fella!

Posted by Mattsanity on Mar-04-2014 16:11:

2001 was pretty much the last outstanding year for trance. 2002 and 2003 were just solid. 2004 was the year of the remakes, enough said about that. Trance fell off entirely in 2005 especially with a washed up Paul van dyk dethrowning Tiesto in DJ Mag.

Posted by theqlogic87 on Mar-04-2014 18:38:

"Goa/Psy Trance doesn't need evolution. It's a genre that has been perfected long time ago. Deal with it. Enjoy it. Psy trance is, the most avant-garde music in all styles of the music spectrum."

Anyways, awesome thread! Viva Mortal Kombat music! Viva el Trance!
