Robert Miles - Children

im sentimentaly attached to "as the rush comes" .... i think this tune is great but maybe because she reminds me memories


and i think the dance tunes like fragma alice deejay or some others casted a shadow over the trance music

I don't really know about that, they just used a formula that was already there. They never claimed to be something they weren't... but when people started incorporating those same cheesy elements to real trance and pretended it was somehow more serious - that's when things really started to go wrong... ATRC, Satellite, Burned With Desire etc...

There's always been commercially successful cheesy dance music so I don't really see how that has contributed to the decline of trance in general over recent years. I think it has more to do with the fact that the genre is stuck in a rut with nowhere to go, and this is partly thanks to the surge of new amateur producers posing as professionals while hopelessly recycling ideas, chord patterns and melodies from years past using all the same sounds and presets.

As long as nobody is bringing anything new to the table, of course what is already there will become stale. Trance needs a big kick up the arse but frankly I'd be surprised if one is forthcoming.

i think i'd have to agree with this actually, even though i like the song if i'm being honest (brings back memories of when i started clubbing)

the cheesy trance-tinged vocal pop tracks of 99-00 (alice dj, vengaboys, then later darude, ian van dahl flip & fill) have nothing to do with it... all they did was make trance less mainstream

I think it was the moment when Rank 1's Airwave became a huge hit.
