Interesting read...thanks for the link....

I didn't read the article, but I'm sure it says that record companies pay to have their singles played. That is old news. It goes on in every music genre in the U.S. That's the American way...
Anyways... trance would never be understood by the masses anyway, and it's better off that way...

Pay for play
Why does radio suck? Because most stations play only the songs the record companies pay them to. And things are going to get worse.

I have heard the above from another source....I see that it wasn't just a rumour.

hey trance and all dance music was made to be underground
so i dont care if i hear it on the radio or not

I predict trance will come into its own in the US this century

The radio here sucks anyway. I won't even listen to it anymore. There is this station up here called B94 and they have a tracklist of like 20 songs that they loop the entire day. They wear songs out FAST.

bah! i'm not complaining about it not being commerical.

if u guys hear what is on the US radio..you guys will know trance wont come up.....in my opinion its better that way anyway..

i say good. keep it underground.
I'm an american. but the fact that 90% of american teenagers buy into fucking brittany spears says something. they ae products of a corporate world. I wouldn't want those stupid groupie bratts trying to influence the trance we hear.

keep it underground. it is just a shame that since it is underground, i know there are an endless number of amazing songs that none of us have heard. thats what really upsets me.

I hardly ever listen to it anymore....the amazing thing to me is that when I do turn it on, they are still playing the same things today that they were playing last year!! How can people listen to that crap over and over again?
