have you ever taken a step back from all this tranceaddictiveness and realized how much youve been neglecting anything outside of the electronica genre. has trance taken over your life that it's reached an uncontrollable level?
is this healthy?

i need to start tolerating other types of music.

Not really, I feel satisfied with my genres of music ...

Trance
Hard Trance
Breaks
Old Skool (pre 1995 stuff)
Ambient/Chilled
Tech-Trance

I don't have time for any other styles to be honest.... sure i like some songs like Muse, cos they innovate & it sounds ok, but I don't think trance rules me too much.. honest

Well sometimes I just kick the trance cd out of my cd-player.... it sometimes get me bored. And then I put some hardcore/gabber into my player!! (just for getting any attantion in my brain ) But thats mainly it. Well sometimes I listen to some new-age like ERA of Enigma...

It's totally healthy. I just need to find more friends who are into Trance, makes driving a lot nicer when you can all enjoy what your listening to.

I've always had broad horizons when it comes to music. Actually, for me, trance is secondary...what I listen to primarily is jazz and blues. It is important to fill your plate with as much music as possible. Without wandering into other areas, you will never get to experience or be influenced by different music, you just hear the same thing. Overall this is what i listen to:

Jazz
Trance/various electronic music
Blues
Soul
Classic Rock

i dont restrict myself to listen to only electronica related music.. from time to time i wont listen to any trance and just listen to pop, oldies, alternative, hip hop etc etc... but electronic def holds priority w/ me and i mostly listen to like trance/progressive/breaks...

i mainly listen to trance, especially when at the computer. but i also listen to all sorts of other stuff, like some indie, drum n bass (not much just a few cd's), some stuff i cant really pin a genre on like groove armada, the chemical brothers etc.

I totally agree with you. I used to listen to rap and started to look towards other types of music around 1998, and I found trance. Over the years I started getting further and further away from rap and now I have given up on rap totally...look at where it is today, all these bullshit artists like Nelly (Hot in Herre) LoL, what a joke.

I dont feel that way at all. Mostly because trance isn't as important to me as it is to just about everyone else here, who are actually obsessed so much its kinda scary.

i listen to all kinds of music..from pavarotti and bocelli to jay-z...dont mind it,,,but my passion is trance...trance is the only genre that i check for the newest tunes and DJ news..It is my weaponn of choice you can say..
