trance and raves

can anyone refer me to a good source to see where the history of raves and trance intersects? sometimes it seems like raves are happy hardcore-centered, other times it seems like they're about jungle... but i'm not quite sure about trance. i've been to a rave-ish trance event, but i'd like to know the history and the current state of affairs.

thanks!

i actually read some of that book, it was good... but the history was just a bit lacking if i remember correctly. maybe i'll check it back out of the libe though

wikipedia.org/ has some info on that.

yeah, i've read the wikipedia article on both trance and raves and neither satisfies my fancy...

i was looking for maybe some personal know-how from older members

I think trance is more club based than rave.. Or festivals.

It looks like you want more information than the internet can really give. buy a book all about it!!

Look for the history of Techno, not Trance. In the beginning everything was just "Techno" - even what we call Trance today was called Techno in the beginning of the 90s.
