have you been smoking crack, 2005 has been terrible. trance has just dwelled down to where it's bound to hit soon, the point of it's ultimate low, i thought it was going to be this year but it's possible it's 2006. the fact is that the tracks being released lack in quality, ideas, punch and producers just seem to loose the plot. more tracks are being hollow and run of the mill productions. i always wondered where the 303 went in my trancemusic, it used to be essential, now you barely hear it. but that's because producers can't figure out how to put a decent acidemulator in reason. and also these goddamn remakes and update remixes. it's like it never stops, i reckon it's good updating a track or two, but when that track or two number becomes 200, then it's just silly. and then the inevitable, when going in yearreviews in trance you have to go talk about the big forces. well ok then.
actually nevermind, so much has been said over these months it's unnecessary.
do i still have hope for trance, no
will i still listen to it, probably
is it going to redeem itself and get back the glamour of the mid90's, yes, for the reason that all music goes in cycles. something has to go down if something else has to peak.
