I think the stuff ishkur says is more about the attitudes of the subcultures that form around various styles than the sounds themselves.
He shoots down alot of bullshit that is in massive circulation about various musics, which I think is a good thing to do. I haven't read everything he has said(cuz he writes sooooo much stuff), but the big picture that I see when I read his stuff is that he is against music that gets limited to a certian crowd of people, and prefers the old style of rave where all kinds of different people could come and listen to different styles on the same night.
The progressive "forward thinkers", the jungle mah-siv, the blissed-out trance kiddies, the techno snobs; every one of these groups is kind of squishing the rave phenomenon to their own little subculture, and I think ishkur realizes that this goes against the original idea behind this kind of party, thus he exposes all the bullshit things people say to raise their little part of the crowd above everyone else.
Whats neat about TA is that we don't all fall into the same little subculture, we are all very different yet we can still have fun posting about stuff(if it wasnt fun then people whouldnt keep coming here)
What kills trance is the lack of diversity, the sounds just aren't as interesting when everybody is emulating the superstar on the top of the popularity list. When a crowd of retards unites under one sound they horde the scene and keep all the people who don't fit in with them from having a good night.
Listening to ferry or tiesto doesnt make you a retard, immature, stupid, or mean that you must be a newbie, I can think of so many friends who like this stuff that dont fit those descriptions. But, it is important to realize that there is more out there and there is much more fun to be had when you don't isolate your style from the others who like to dance too.
Anyway, that what I interpret as the moral of ishkur's rantings, people just need to stop getting full of themselves and realize that they aren't really superior to the others that like different things, so if you are listening to nothing but ferry, then you might be a tit noob or a retard and all that.
