I guess it comes from two aspects of where and when I grew up, which was in the countryside in the 90s. Atmospheric, evocative and melodic music suits the panoramic landscapes perfectly. There was also a real sense growing up in the 90s that we were excited about the future. Cyberspace, 3D videogames and DJ culture were all part of the same millenium buzz and so the culture I absorbed at an impressionable age was distinctly futurist (not necessarily the same as futuristic).

Trance is both these things - atmospheric melodic futurism. It also has plenty of energy, which attracted me as a teenager and still has a visceral appeal.

I love trance because when listening to it, I feel certain emotions that I have never felt whilst listening to any other style of music. Euphoria is a good word, but that hardly describes it. The feeling is a sense of peace, a sense that all is well, a sense of happiness for which I've yet to find an equal. Nothing comes close to it, and I hope nothing ever does because I do, in fact, love trance.

I have been captivated by trance since the first time I was exposed to it on Napster ten years ago, and what a burst of energy it was to my tapping fingers. Songs like �For an Angel�, �Madagascar�, and �Orange Theme�, were just the beginning of an advent that has lasted me ten years of digging through record stores, posting on tranceaddict; teaching me the happiness and enticement of discovery that I believe only happens through music .

It goes well with mind altering drugs and makes unicorns happy.

Excellent post.

I share quite a few similarities to how you've described your 'impressionable age' and the influence of the music at that time

I started to like trance because I thought the parties had things like this going on:




I discovered I wasn't too far off either!

It used to make me feel good and it was really good when I started smoking weed but now it's just too fast for me. I have since gravitated towards slower and more spacious, minimalistic sounds. Ask anybody who knows my tastes and they will tell you that I still love a solid melody, which in my case comes from having listened to trance in the past. I suppose though that I have come to appreciate musical productions which show a certain degree of restraint. Trance is the opposite, because the vast majority of the time it really is all guns blazing. It didn't use to be this way, but unfortunately now it is, and when as a genre it fails to offer me anything new that is of remote interest, I move on, rather than get stuck on the past trying to uncover music I may have missed out on. Most of it would probably sound too fast for me now anyway.

Love is such a strong word, I don't think I ever particularily "loved" trance. I liked (and still do, to an extent) listening to it and the sound of it. That's all there really is to it.

I love goa/psy-trance for their psychedelic effects

Fits well, except change the panoramic landscape with fjords and a coastline. Especially the "future-culture".

Because it combined music I loved like Jean Michel Jarre - Rendez Vous, Harold Faltermeyer - Axel F, Vangelis - Pulstar , Jan Hammer - Crockett's Theme (Miami Vice) with disco beats.

Oops almost forgot the track which really blew me away in 1985 and became a massive No 1 hit in many countries:

Paul Hardcastle - 19

Maybe that's also why I like vocal trance...

To me there is no connection to landscape I'm aware of, although I live in the most beautiful part of our small country, so it maybe it had some influence.
