"read this, and let them know what you think:"
why, so we can be more leet than them? Who the f*ck cares what they think lol.

I would agree with most of what was said on the discogs board. The only point that I would argue is that commercialization does not necessarily lead to decline in quality.

Those guys have some serious hate for trance!!!

most are ex tranceaddict now progaddicts who deny they listened to it. Assclowns in the tta's book.

Now there is a trance underground, just no one hears about it cuz it is not commercial. Believe me they exist and they exist in big numbers, most throw parties in the middle of nowhere. An underground scene for most genres exist, just you never hear about it because it is underground.

Discogs.com is a fucked up site, I posted in their like forum shit.....for the mods to correct the TCR release history but they never did...

damn, if I wasn't so lazy I'd register there and post up:

"Trance killed my father,


and raped my mother"



I think I have grown immune to closedminded haters. There seems to be a ton of them out there, so I doubt I can do anything the decrease theri numbers by complaining about them.

They may be haters, but most are far from close minded. If you decide to post something there just remember that you're doing exactly what stupidisco is doing here. Being a moron.

yep yep totally agree with that
and yea..as long as WE like it who gives a damn. i mean even TAs have arguments and shit about some songs they think suck , but other ppl think are damn good...in the end it doesn't mattter right

So let me recap the points that the discogs poster is making:
1. Modern trance is predictable and formulaic.
2. Because of its predictability, it is unable to put listeners into a state of trance.
3. Trance has become mainstream music.
4. As trance became mainstream, the production quality has suffered as labels sacrificed their integrity in return for profits.

While you can make exceptions for some artists and labels, the points brought up by the post are mostly valid.

Bah, flame all you want!

Guys, it's not hate---it's fear

For the longest time they've listened to their music and thier minds have just closed up. Never to be opened again. I think we can refer to them as old timers now bcuz they can't open their minds to the new music.

There is nothing wrong with hip hop, alternative or rock--when it's good-it doesn't matter what it is.

Having said this, I'm also tired of hh, alt and rock---it's all beginning to sound tiresome---it's time for the future and the future is Trance.
Trance has broken a new barrier, and it's scaring ppl.

Long Live Trance!

Just my opin
