is it just me or is trance and all its genre cousins completly sucking these days?

I love everything, trance, house, d&b, you name it. But i remember a time when their was a plethora of badass tracks always coming out. now everything is some rip off and completly sucks! I have been so dissapointed in the music latley that i have started to go back to other kinds of music. I guess i just miss that feeling when you hear a song that just takes you away...you know.

only thing ive heard lately is "darkside of the moon" and it isnt anything that is just breaking the barriers. Am I just not looking in the right places or what?

I agree with you. Lately everything seems to be so derivative. I've been listening to old edm and non-electronic music as well for this very reason.

This statement is more true than you realize.

Techno and trance went through a similar phase between 1995 and 1997, when everyone and their mother was basing their tracks on TB-303 acid lines, many doing it badly. It got totally over used and finally the next great sound came and replaced it (the JP-8000 and the "supersaw lead").

Give it time and we'll see a similar cycle happen. We can't go on with the same old leads and riffs forever. Just be patient.

This is the best post ever made on this subject. No sarcasm. Thank fuck someone has recognised that trance wasn't golden right up until 1997 when suddenly it became evil.

I'm not saying there's no validity in his statement, only that this topic has been covered X number of times already.
