People will say its inaccurate; learn the basics and this is pretty helpful whether you think Rank 1 is cheese or not

Maaz, please finish.

I still wonder if the forum should pursue creating one of its own.

I think the question is fine...a lot of people, myself included, probably couldn't answer it very well.

Well I think he isnt talking about a music genre, but about Nu-NRG!! But well, who knows.

DONT GO TO THE DI.FM SITE
and what does trance have to do with techno?
for accuracy just forget the word techno now, you've probably never heard a techno song in your life, mainstream media uses the word techno to describe anything they think sounds robotic and has a bassline DISCLUDING mainstream rap/pop

It is just Ishkur's personal opinion, FFS. Read his disclaimer. I don't understand why everyone gets so pissed off about this in the first place. I don't agree with his musical opinions, but I still found the guide pretty helpful as far a genres are concerned. A lot of it is meant as a joke anyways. Lighten up.

What's the problem. I'm guessing you started listening to trance no more than 2 1/2 - 3 years ago. 4 at most.

i agree. --i must add, this was quite an intelligent post coming from a TiT and took me by surprise, im used to stuff like "what style of techno is dj sammy? he roxors!"

welcome to TA

ishkur is an idiot who just knows some names and invented some stupid connections between genres,
the worst thing in that site is the kind of samples he put there to demonstrate each genre,, which in almost all cases are totally not related to the genre their supposed to be in.

i dont really mind what he thinks of each track on its own. just the stupid corelations he made there, i hope people dont take him too seriously, coz thats pretty much the only 'genre guide' on the net....

Hmm, and what all of you think about what Ishkur says in the Epic Trance topic ?

Actually, as far as I know, Ish has been a part of the rave scene since the very early 90's, and is just jaded with the whole commercialization of the scene. I agree that some tracks don't belong where they are, but almost all? Besides his classifications of the newer commercial EDM, I found his genre descriptions almost spot-on.

I like a couple of the "Epic Trance" songs he has listed, but I also think he has a point. Long, drawn-out breakdowns can be extremely cheesy, and are way overdone, IMO. Which is probably why much of the new trance coming out is moving away from these techniques.
