You know, trance music always change.

before, trance music standard bpm was 138-142. Look at these days, trance bpm getting slower and slower. one good example is take a look of cosmic gate music (a sign of the times), I think this is not trance anymore, i know its quality music, but its a bit boring (makes me SLEEPY) most of the song use side-chaining and the bpm is only 130+.

in my opinion, early trance has more beautiful melody, while the bpm keep running fast (around 138-142), that makes us to feel "trance". however, there are lots of cheesy sound and cheesy bassline.

today trance (2009), the melody is getting nonsense. but the quality improve so much. No cheese but sometimes it makes be bored.

I wonder what will happened in 2010. Does the bpm getting slower again? or going back to its root (138-142)?

"Sign of Times" and quality music are not to be in the same sentence.

Binary Finary knew what they were doing when they named 1998. I bet they've made some coin out of that track. I wonder if we'd have seen all them remixes if they'd give it a normal name.

There is plenty of trance being produced in the 135+ range. I don't believe BPM changes will ever be indicative of a new era in trance. Different producers use different BPM's for different songs.
