+1

What i would call the Prog scene is really doing it at the moment almost to the standard of '99 but without the commerical backing and exposure that the tunes enojoyed back then, good or bad i'm not sure.

ishkur: You're so full of shit its not even funny.

This is your own interpetation and experiences of trance. Please do not speak for the entire board and sputter your useless facts.

90% of people went the same path as you on this board?

I think i could speak for the whole majority on here except for a few that EVERYONE on this board loved the shit between 99 - 2001 who experienced the sounds at that time.

Once again, your logic is brutally flawed.

Originally posted by Ishkur It's funny, because I followed relatively the same path you did, but I personally did not get into trance (more of a house/breaks/hardcore guy) until about 97, though mostly through the industrial/goa tip. By 99 I was completely fucking sick of the stuff. The same god damn template, the same anthems, the same snare rolls, the same breakdowns, the same hands-in-the-air hold-me-I'm-rushing melodies so fucking predictable you could set your watch to it, every single fucking song at every single fucking party, played by every single fucking trance DJ. It was boring. It was stupid. It was fucking ridiculous. That was why it exploded. Because it had become this tepid, manufactured, feather-lite pap. Bullshit McTrance for the stupid majority of people who didn't like trance originally, until it started sounding like commercial crap sing-a-long jingles. The most memorable violation of a form of music since black funk became white disco in the late 70s. ^ this may not apply to you specifically, but I'm willing to bet it applies to 90% of the people on this web forum.

you and radagast aka aiwendil should have a gay marriage with Star Wars as a theme...you can be princess leia and radagast can be a stormtrooper...otherwise you can ride your trance high-horse up a herpes infested vagina

i agree with most of them except for Steve Lawler...hes an amazing DJ and i love his dark tribal/house sound....however his 2005 tracklists are upsetting though...and i hope he goes back to his sound for lights out 3.

anyways..back on topic...

The set that got me into trance right there.




BTW, notice how the "flanger" was whored so much in many of Oakie's '99 sets? Except it actually worked well right at the peak of the buildups. Oakie was perfection back then.

Forgot about this one.

Hi everybody. I just came back from the future. I went to the year 2010, and looked up this board. Apparently the general consensus is that trance sucks and it's not like the glory years 2004-2006, when everyone started listening to this music.

Nothing ever compares to the first time you experience something.

We are not living in the past, but what we are saying that the 99 ara was much better for trance than it is now, maybe you should get all these tracks and sets and see for yourself and stop making bold comments. Trance better these days? Well i guess you dont know Trance very well my friend. Like i said, get these sets that TAs mentioned and then make a comment.
