Where did the old trance go?

I remember back in the "good old days" when Paul van Dyk ruled the
dance scen with old mellow/melodic trance. You know, back in '99
and '00? Now, we only hear the dark, anti-love trance! Emotionless
and pumping hard trance...

Please give my post a chance and pick out an old liveset from 99,
listen it through and you'll see my point when you drop that tear.

"Trance is like an onion, take a deep breath and you'll cry."

(By the way, I believe the new hard and pumping trance can be cool,
but I want the love, not the destructive bass!)

to hard-house clubs instead!!

2000 and 2001 were both bad years for trance, 2000 was the start of the fall and it got worse in 2001.
1997-1999 were the best years.
id say 2000 was a good year bro....we had the releases of tiesto's revolution cds...and thats the last time oakenfold was at creamfields..matt darey was still active in 2000....2001 was the only bad year.
