ah, gotta love these threads...
how many people on here were actively listening to trance, buying CD's of trance, and going to shows/raves in the 1992-1994 years when trance first blew up? from what I've seen in this thread, probably on a few outside of myself.
I don't recall trance really being a specific genre, but a subset of BOTH house and techno with a hypnotic, experimental, evolving sound. look at the early trance sound of Hardfloor, more of a hypnotic house sound at what we still consider a house tempo (125-130ish) to some of the manic tunes of Spicelab was doing, crazy epic journeys that lasted 15 minutes or more at well over 150bpm! They were vastly different, but shared the trance "feeling" and the same label. Are any labels doing putting out such disparate music under the exact same label name these days like Harthouse used to? I don't think so, and labels often resort to sublabels when they do.
