The mixes these days
There seem to be so many monotonous drone-like mixes floating around now. Every song in the damn mixes is pretty much the same. Every song has that new bubbly/sine-wavish melody. No rise or peak at all.
Serious most of the mixes these days are good for falling asleep.
Perhaps trance has reached its crest?
another trance is dead thread...worded different, but same message

no, that's armin van buuren and markus schulz, same formulaic records, no innovation and the thing is...both can do better!
Ok true, some of the known name trance producers produce quantity over quality these days but it's stupid thing to say that Trance is dead. I personally haven't been following trance that closely in past few years anymore but I'm very happy to see that new names still rise all the time. I quess It's fair enough to say that trance peaked between 1998-2000 (1999 was my favourite year), but lot's of great quality songs are still produced. It's just harder to find the right ones for you these days...

Most producers and DJs are either a) lazy b) don't know what they are doing.
also in my opinion Club Trance is doing good as well
acosta's music is cheesy hardtrance wannabee imho
George Acosta does suck. I guess you are thinking only dj's like Scott Project are hard trance?

| Originally posted by sisterbliss if i said yes, people who think scot project is crap and cheese would get on my case (believe me, they exist) so i'll say that he is more on track with hard trance |
usually when I find mixes and tracks cheesy or boring I don't listen to them. I go out and find ones I like.
I suggest the same here. 
ah, see, even you say hard trance is cheesy. just like real trance, hard trance has evolved and vespa 63, scot project, flutlicht, natron, shokk, kai tracid are the obvious ones to come to mind. but i would agree if people called them "mainstream" and "cheesy".
but what can we do, hard trance HAS become more mainstream, just like the "trance of 99" has evolved in both accessibility and sound.
it's hard for me to think of ANY dj who plays his/her genre and is good. it's all relative and subject to listener's taste
so some people say all of today's trance is boring and cheese and that "old-school" trance is the real trance
similarly, hard trance fans bash today's hard trance and praise "old-school" trance which is, essentially, more hardstyle then hardtrance
to be honest, i don't know that much in depth about hard trance, just like i don't know everything about another particular genre / subgenre. i listen to everyone and everything, if i like it.

And what exactly is it about epic trance that has changed in the past six years.
I never said that it has changed much, if any. I said there is good epic trance and bad epic trance. I love good epic trance, and I want to puke when I hear bad epic trance.

| Originally posted by Nite-Mer Agreed. I listen to dj's, not styles. A friend of mine gave me a trance disc that is fairly epic recently and I really liked it. It is programmed well and isn't all epic trance. Also, the epic trance is good, not over the top or cheesy, IMO. Someone else might listen to it and hate it though. It's all taste. I just thought it was weird that someone said listen to hard trance as opposed to progressive trance, if you want more variety. I would say listen to hard trance if you like it, not that it changes more. |
