Not at all.

I'd consider myself a reasonably big hardcore fan as well, but it's very much happy hardcore (a genre of hardcore I'm none too keen about). The closest to trance I see in hardcore is throgh freeform hardcore, played by the likes of sharkey and kevin energy (worst DJ name ever, possibly the phattest hardcore sets ever). They play what I suppose you'd call trancecore, some very trancey moments in there.

sharkey & energy rock, they play freeform tho, not trancecore. Many people confuse trancecore with hardcore but the stuff played by Billy Bunter, Ramos etc in 1997/8 is the 'real' trancecore, esp the releases on GBT Records

As for Fly away, it's a classic, 1997 vocal goodness. the new remixes do nothing for me however.

stealth - flowers need no rain

lol i love this one

Yeah i would say that happy hardcore is the happiest and most uplifting music around and yeah id put it in the same category as trance simply due to the song structure.
