same here. And what the hell is up with these so-called "DJs" with the letter D at the end of their names?! DJ Danny D DJ Marky D. I'm sorry folks that doesn't make you any better. If anything it shows your inability to mix properly and be creative in your names, further ruining our lovely music .

Mother, can I have some more cannnndy?

I would kill tiesto and rape his girlfriend (what? she's hot
Now )
I'd move 50 cents to produce trance
Now for real...
I'd slap tiesto, armin, pvd, sasha, digweed and the rest and tell them to wake up cuz they are just ruining everything up.
I'd prefer them to start doing better and less comirialized stuff but if they just can't do it then quit.
They can still dj or produce, just don't call it trance.
It's not.
I'd pay DJ Sammy to rape paul oakenfold's ass if he won't stop releasing shit.
I'd ban drugs from the scene (If the drugies here will start flaming me it will be fun
), I think it only does bad to pepole and to the image of the scene itself.

Just my 2 cents,
Omer

Originally posted by Zombie0915 My dislike for trance bumper stickers and ringtones has alot to do with the way EDM is treated in America. Americans love EDM, but they just don't realize it. EDM is in the background of all our commercials, we hear it when we go to the mall and walk by the abercrombie, we hear it behind our tv shows, we hear it everywhere, except on the radio and at the parties. It really pisses me off that trance music and most other EDM is considered by most Americans as background music that is not to be paid attention to. Way too much talent is wasted making music that goes into the background of stuff that the typical person just ignores. When someone comes along who has one of those songs on the cd, kid will recognize it but not know where it came from, until somebody chimes in, "hey is that the song from the mitsubishi commercial with the stupid bitch in the pink hat squirming in the passenger seat?" So my previous rant about eliminating tance from the selection of background material available to marketers was mainly because I think trance music deserves much better, it deserves to be in the places where people go when they want to listen to music and not behind commercials acting as some silly trendy sound that nobody will ever really appreciate. The general masses who see your bumper sticker or hear your ringtone don't deserve to be hearing the music if they are going to just treat it as background material, you should save your need to express yourself for the people who are willing to actually listen to EDM for the joy of it instead of using it as background material, or else your just gonna be the nerdy kid who listens to songs from behind commercials. Anyway, I would make trance available only at places where people go for the purpose of listening to music, no more of this background music crap.

Imo everyone should like those stickers.
You see a sticker on a car and then a hot chick approches and opens the car's door.
Just for the chance of hitting with her, you should like it
The first line will be "OMG you listen to trance?" and here we go.
You got yourself a date, or atleast a one night stand :P

Ok, ok...

If I could decide the fate of Trance, I'd move it to Break- or Techtrance and the innovation of it...
I'd also give futurepop a good chance to hit the mainstream public. Perhaps more techno influences will be needed in this Industrial-type music. Better songs, better inspiration.

Ta hell with hardstyle, I'd say

What would I do with trance?

Try to combine the energy, experimentalism, and variety of pre-1995 trance with the mixing and mastering of 2008 trance.

I love classic trance with Cosmic Baby, Resistance-D etc. but recently i re-discovered how superb 97 and 98 trance was. People thing of 96, 97 and 98 trance, and instantly thing of the typical epic trance with the long breakdowns etc. This is how i remebered the era as well. Recently though, i played again "Forbidden Paradise 7-Deep Forest" and "Magik-2 Story of the Fall" by Tiesto (yea i know his name is "dirty" today but back then he was something of an underground hero of "Euro-trance" as they used to call this sound back then) and i was blown away by the music. I always thought of long breakdowns and stuff, but i was wrong. This stuff is totally comprised of pumping beats mixed with hypnotic gated chords, intense bass riffs, acid sequences and emotional arpeggios all harmonically mixed in an ever-flowing moving structure. I had complety forgot how this kind of melodic trance was sounding back then. I can't see why people say that sound had NOTHING to do with classic trance this is defintielly over-stretched. That sound was the natural evolution of Dance 2 Trance, Jam and Spoon, Cosmic Baby, Datura and Cygnus-X and it was indeed superb. People maybe confuse the era with the more mainstream,epic stuff released in '99 like "El-Nino", "Toca Me" or "Synaesthesia".

They're certainly related. It was much more of a continuous evolution than a sharp break. I can enjoy a lot of the stuff in the period you're talking about.

I love the kind of stuff that Sasha was playing from 1997 - 99, for example. Great melodic prog trance.

i would send it on a 20 year journey to return to its homeland, constantly endangered by legion of unfriendly mythological creatures, desires of the flesh, self-doubt, and apathy.

Then I would devour its children and/or have sex with them on a mountain.

id instantly turn music production technology and computer technology back to how it was before 2000. and halt all advances in technology. back in those pre 2000 days i couldnt afford all the hardware and a decent pc to sequence on, so id not ba able to make music like i can now. but i know the music available would overall be better in the long run. and i think now im older with more money i would be able to fork out the £5-10k needed for a good studio back then.
