what the fuck is trance?!

You tell me lol!

another google-related fatality. harsh.

I love the symmetry and depth of it. and that you can hear a track houndreds of times and still have new elements to focus your ears on.

Then i suggest theres no point being registered on a Tranceaddict forum...doh lol!

Care to expand subtle!

Just listening to the Armin Van Buuren State of Trance mix, 87 tunes in 2hrs...amazing mix!

i suggest you not to mention armin/asot and trance in the same sentance. some people are extra sensitive about that.
and welcome

Because Trance is like Classic Music, requires concentration: It leads us to hypnotic states, listening to a song and filtering all the tiny diverse sounds that compose it. It's not music to think while listening to, but to focus on it, get in another state, a state that can make you cry, or can make you jump for hours.

Just my view.... ok, most of today's sounds don't include the 'another state' part.... but still many of them do...


P.S.: and all this philosophical bullshit came out while listening to Selu Vibra - Divina :P

i was pondering whether or not i should post a half-arsed dismissive and/or 'witty' reply regarding the fact this topic has been discussed countless times before, but then thought fuck it; may as well take a stab at a serious one.

i like it because it combines melodic, emotional & atmospheric overtones with a driving & energetic backing; it's a multi-purpose, multi-dimensional form of dance music (when done well). i like clubbing to it because should i ever tire of dancing to the beat, there's still the melodic/floaty aspect keeping my attention.
