which should have been obvious, based on his earlier track selection. |
Exactly. Why do so many here tend to hold this certain belief that trance is or should be so widespread and popular? I'm terribly sorry to break the news to those folks here, but trance is still not as popular on many dancefloors as some of the other genres, despite your clinging beliefs. Now I'm not going to bash trance for what it is - it certainly has its merits - and most certainly is the reason why I'm here in the first place. But some people just need to accept the fact that Tiesto, Paul van Dyk, Armin VB, or even Oakenfold are not widespread common names to the public. So while it's a true pity that the world can't be "tranced" by the likes of "Nothing But You", "Suburban Train", or "Sunburn", I think it's not that tragic an event really. You might also want to consider the fact that many trance tunes aren't terribly "dance-friendly" to the public (even in gay bars). The likes of Hip-Hop/Rap, Top40's dance (god it is aweful), and House music are what most dance bars tend to bend towards because of their consistent beats without the non-rhythmic peaks and valleys where everyone just stands still looking at each other, waiting for the beat to kick back in.
