techno in general is much more percussive and harder / abrasive than trance. from my understanding most trance is within a specific BPM range also (120's-130's?) and techno varies more or is within a completely different range. IANADJ but they have a totally different 'sound' altogether, and i think as a finer point there are some notable structure differences (though i couldn't tell you exactly what)...


120-130

lol.......u thinkin of house man?

whats the difference between death metal and pop?

techno is the complete opposite of trance

chances are you will never meet someone that listens to techno in your life

Are You Serious?

Techno is the shit.

Anyone wanting to experience the difference for themselves grab a Chris Liebing or DJ Rush set for a clear definition of what techno is.


If you want trance, grab a Tiesto, Corsten, AVB, PVD, etc set.

I used to think techno was garbage until I listened to a Chris Liebing set ... totally gave me respect for the genre.

I might suggest if you want to slowly delve into techno, start out with something like Bryan Zentz - D-Clash .. fairly well known, not too 'abrasive'

pfffffftttttt

im the only person at my school that listens to trance, about 1/100 people on TA listen to techno

so odds are you will never meet someone that listens to techno in your life (if you live in america)

i didnt imply that techno was a bad genre i was saying that not a lot of people listen to it
popularity doesnt = quality of course

Trance more complex than techno

Techno = Disco in disguise....
Trance = Mozart, Beethoven in disguise....

(Just my point of view, both are good in there own why - I just have disco )

Techno doesn't make sense
Trance makes sense in a good sense.
