Who's addicted too?

I just was listening my friends new remix and while enjoying the breakdown I was thinking that I must have loved synth sounds for more then 20 years now. I can't imagine ever stop loving them. Guess I'm addicted to them.

Who's also addicted to certain sounds for a long time now, let's says >10 years and believes that won't change soon?
Sounds you like that much that it doesn't matter any more that you heard many songs which sounded alike.

It's cycles for me. I listen to things that i've been into for a decade or two still now but my major passion is a variation of a style that I first got into back in 1992/3.

Well in my Views the old sound gives a new soul to the body and many peoples are still fan of old music because old music was better then now days music but this song was also superb which you share with us in this thread

To me it's not even limited to a genre as in the 80's and early 90's trance wasn't hot yet if it existed.
But of course it was not for nothing these were called synthpop:

I would expect some people mentioning piano's or electric guitars.

I find myself addicted to the early and mid 00's progressive sound. Now I know a lot of people on this board used to hate on it and call it McProg, but to me it was the perfect sound to hop onto once melodic and epic trance started to go stale for me. And it didn't matter if it was progressive trance/house/breaks, just as long as it had those dreamy, atmospheric synths accompanied by those elongated, sometimes melancholic basslines, I was an instant fan. 2000's progressive artists such as Fretwell, Luke Chable, Markus Schulz, Leama & Moor, Niklas Harding, Michael Burns etc. I just couldn't get enough of it.

Now, 90's progressive trance/house I can't get into quite the same way. It seems to me that the pitch to 90's prog was a few bpm higher than the 00's stuff and the synths often sounded like goa/cybertrance to me. Some of it is cool, but I just click more with the progressive sounds of the following decade more. I still remember the times I would drive back home all cracked out as fuck from parties and having Balance 006 playing in the car at 5 or 6 in the morning. Memories.

The best thing ever to happen to trance music was when the mcprog era died out so quickly.

...Just so the electro fart prog style could take its place instead?

If that was trance music's destiny nothing could have saved it. No matter if it was replaced with hiphop-gabber-dingdong-fluff.

Got nothing to do with elitism. I just never liked that era of trance music. It's the same with psy trance. I never liked how psy trance was kidnapped by israelis who churned out their formulaic full on sound.

On topic: Is there an old sound you still love nowadays or has it changed in time? I think not everyone has a certain sound which they loved like forever. Just wondering.

I still love the sound of 90s progressive, melodic and psy trance of the 90s. I still discover new tracks from that era that I've missed.

Posted by Light The Fuse on Sep-20-2011 05:37:

speaking of old sounds - there was an old thread on here a while back about the synth/box that made the sounds that the old oakenfold cd's/mixes would feature. Apparently only a few were made and it was fantastic for sounds but unreliable and would breakdown at any oppurtunity (kind of like the DeLorean of synthesizers) -does anyone have the name of this again please?

Yeah, still many undiscovered tracks out there, even when you think you already heard most of them.

So there isn't really an instrument you like which makes that sound and even can be found outside trance?
It's more like a combination then in your case I guess.

Que?

Posted by Trance-M on Sep-20-2011 19:44:

For me it's synth sounds which also can be found in old synthesizer tracks, 80's synthpop tracks, movie soundtracks and obviously many tracks since the 90's. The breakdown in the first video is just the example which made me think that I love this sound for so long (>20 years), not even related to one specific genre.
