PLEASE READ! A thinkable statement about trance music

Hello everybody.

This is a genuine real statement to the TRANCE producers all over the world! It's also a statement to all the music producers, who call their sound "Trance". Please read this very carefully! Thank you in advance.

...

Most of you are in the trancescene for years now, some of you even for decades. You know, the main element of quality TRANCE-Music is the mixture of Rhythm and amazing melodies, which make you dreaming, diving-in, thinking and....at least dancing. But "dancing" is NOT the main element of TRANCE-Music! It's the HARMONY! The SPIRIT!

In the last few years the so-called modern TRANCE-Music had become to something strange like "electro-stomping-bassmusic with some short-melodic frequencies". But that isn't the philosophy of TRANCE-Music. Its the melody, the breaks within the songs and the build up of wonderful melody in combination with Beats - and NOT vice versa.

I implore you: PLEASE..don't let Trance-Music becoming to an "dead-end".

Please think about "trance".....-> nature, landscapes, oceans, shores, forest, sundowners, ice, crystals, wide fields and so on. You know what I mean. Make a walk through beautiful landscapes and then, start producing trance music again.

Please stop those trends like big-bass-influence-electro-house-"trance"-tracks. Thats not the world, where trance lives. You know about electro-house or dubstep, its okay, but its not traditional-trance....Its HOUSE or ELECTRO....but not trance. If you want to produce those sounds, dont call it "trance" please.

Okay, please dont missunderstand me - I enjoyed the times, as trancemusic and electrohouse became an fusion (it was back in 2006, 2007 or also 2008 and a bit of '09) but nowadays...its too often more crap than quality. Its only bass & beats now. If you listen to songs from originally famous trance-shows you could figure it out how often trancemusic was really replaced into a crappy mixture electrohouse and bass. But what about pure trance?? Real-Trance?

...Please accept TRANCE as it is!
YOU can turn that trend back to the good old times! Its YOUR
Turn! Here and now. Make a new start! Go to your studio and create the sound "new", which you have loved, as you began with producing music. Trance Music.

Please think about it...I repeat...THINK about it ! ! ! I appeal to you all. Legends and Newcomers.

Thank you for your attention. I hope I could "actuate" something in the general meaning of trance music today.



Cheers
a trance fan

Did Armada send you here?

Hard to take seriously a "genuine real statement" from a guy whose first memories of trance music comes from 2006...

This is actually a thing that I have been wondering a lot. Of course there was Dance 2 Trance in early 90's but just because word trance rhymes with the word dance, I think it doesn't make it necessarily club music or dancing music. Why can't I just sit on a chair and listen to trance music?

If that was the case, you'd think he'd be all for trance's current direction, seeing as how that's the direction Armin's been carrying his cult kicking and screaming.

It's so cheese-ball I'm thinking this guy's trolling.

The landscapes thing is pretty spot on though, even if only tangentially.

Kill all YouTube account holders who post trance music and just snap some random landscape as a video for it.

If all you can think of while listening to trance is landscapes then... (not sure which is worst, babes in house or landscapes in uplifting trance)

Re dancing:

Trance music should be for dancing, it's EDM after all, but I'm all up for not sticking to boring EDM conventions, but please, let's not go the IDM direction.

What a curious post. However, Amen to the above.

For those of you asking if the op has been sent by Armada, arent they the biggest culpret?

Well, partly true, but without the dance part trance would not be like we know it now or even 15 years ago.
Trance got more popular because of dancing in clubs on it.

The producers I know, which also are about my age probably will laugh about this. Go to your studio and make some old stuff, right...
In the good old times there also was an awful amount of shitty tracks. I hated those as they made me spend too many hours in the record shops listening...

I really have the urge to smack you in the face.

Dance 2 Trance was not trance it's just a shitty dance act. Can't stand listening to any Dance 2 Trance track whatsoever. They really made much better things (not much but better) under their The Peyote guise.

Dance 2 Trance certainly weren't great, but I don't know how you can argue with We Came In Peace ('91 Mix). One of the most beautiful pieces of electronic music ever, in my opinion.

i much prefer your hated 'electro-trance' to the generic, cookie cutter uplifting diggadigga 3 minute long breakdown nonsense.

sundowners? dont the kids in ibiza prefer to get all jacked up on sunuppers?

I wonder if you would have the same opinion about Dance 2 Trance if you were around 16-20 in 1993.

Probably the same for Jam & Spoon, Tokyo Ghetto Pussy and Storm then.

We Came in Peace is just horrible and I don't know why people swear by it. Union Jack, for one, were much better. Much hated Cygnus X too.

Cos now I've got
Nothing to hold the falling
So how can I survive this sinking feeling
'Cos now I've got nothing to hold the falling
So how can I survive this sinking feeling

Tell me there is more than this
Rocky morning
'Cos you�ve got the best there is
And I want nothing

Nothing to hold the falling
So how can I survive this sinking feeling
'Cos now I've got nothing to hold the falling
So how can I survive this sinking feeling
'Cos now I've got nothing to hold the falling
So how can I survive this sinking feeling
