There is nothing 'traditional' about uplifting trance. Traditional trance is very different from the uplifting feel of the post 2000-2001 era.
Sorry, I've been downloading essential mixes from the 90's recently and it's really been an eye opener on how much trance has changed.

Yep - trance was awesome back then! But in those days there was very little distinction between genres; it was all sort of a techno-trance-breaks mishmash, and people just called it either rave or techno. It's funny how everyone thinks that all the genre "crossover" is a new phenomenon, even though they've actually become more and more divergent since the early 90s.
Those DJs usually had mad technical skillz too, because the tunes were much less heavy on the effects and the DJs could spend more time doing tricks instead of just trying to mix. I was just listening to a Jody Wisternoff mix from '95 - puts the goofy "scratching" you hear from guys like James Zabiela to utter shame.
Pick up some sets or albums from around '95-'96 and you'll hear "traditional" trance. In '99 it was already on its way to becoming "uplifting" trance.
