Maybe trance has finally evolved...
Now I have to admit right off the bat. If I had to pick my favourite year(s) for trance it would have to be either '99, about when I first started getting into the genre, and 2002 to 2003 (lots of tracks there that I like). But I also have to say, this year has been absolutely amazing. And I think it is really safe to say that trance has really evolved into a new sound. Yes, there is less melodic tracks, which is the sound I first began to love, but we now have a mixture of new sounds. It seems that with all of these new genres on the rise trance has taken elements from each one. When I listen to dj sets live or at home from 2005 I hear a lot more hard driving beats with tech sounds, house sounds, progressive sounds and more. I think it has cought a lot by surprise which is why some don't like this year in trance. It did happen quite fast and wasn't a slow evolution to say the least. But I believe it is something that won't take too long to get used to.

it hasn't evolved...its just most people around haven't been introduced to these kinda songs before...some are liking it...some aren't. besides that traditionally trance dj's like tiesto, armin...are starting to play more of it because it's getting popular. it has nothing to do with trance evolving, but other genres becoming more popular...

| Originally posted by DOOMBOT mmmmmmmmmmmmmmNO, trance this year has absolutely been less melodic then previous years in trance. Elements and ideas ARE being taking by all the genres. House today isn't the same as it was 5 years ago. Listen, there are elements from other genres there. Its not like this is a bad thing its just that the sound is different. |

Oh yes I definitely agreee, trance has evolved.
In its first incarnation, trance was a fairly normal thing, innocent, naive, young, and impressionable:
Then, in its first evolution, trance became bigger and more powerful. It started to have an attitude and self-posession about itsef that was only exemplified by its new gypsy earring:
Finally, in the last evolution, things just went completely even more overboard. All the bad things about trance just got bigger, including its caveman brow. It was simply, the biggest, most powerful, most self-posessed, overblown nonsense you've ever seen:
I estimate trance at a power level of.....*eyeglass power level reader shatters*....IT'S OFF THE CHARTS!!! ERRRGHH...EUHGGGGG.....AAAHHHHHH........EERRRRMMM......ECHHH....Uhhhhhhh...I think I just shat me puffy MC Hammer pants.
trance is less melodic because the artist is not as creative as they were before. now any moron can get signed, and any moron can dj, there's no need for a clue about music anymore (on the dj part).
I posted something about this in the "Why trance is going down the pan" thread. Trance has evolved, you just need to know where to look and who to look for. Sure there are still the same stereotypical trance riffs that on a personal basis feel they get annoying and over used and that there needs to be more varied sounds, including sounds that are more natural or organic sounding. There already is stuff like this such as stuff by Mark Otten, Hydroid, Alucard or Kalafut & Fygle. I think his sound should be the sound to emulate bringing trance into the future, and I think some producers are starting to catch on. A similar formula should be used, the build up, break down, build up, because that is what has made trance so successful (Why else would trance have been as successful as it has been when these types of sounds were made big in 98 and 99?) but trance now is sounding and should sound emotional and beautiful without being so overtly theatrical or grandiose. Mark Otten does this very well.
Compare songs such as "El Nino" by Agnelli & Nelson, "Carte Blanche" by Veracocha or "I Believe" by Lange, or songs like that, to "Tranqulity" "Mushroom Therapy" or "So Serene, or even stuff from other artists like "Time To Say Goobye" by Envio, "3579 KM" by Kalafut & Fygle or "Blue Tubes" by Hydroid, and you'll see the influence but you'll also see how it has progressed, whether you like the new sound or not. There are still "epic" tunes or "Anthems", "Time To Say Goodbye" is an example of a combination of both the deeper aspect of the newer trance stuff with the grandiose sounds from 98 and 99. And obviously if you look at some new releases, you'll see that stuff is still around, but a good half of it (and more to come in the future) has evolved by building upon it and adding some new sounds. Again it still needs some work but I think it's getting there...
