Ahhh, those lovely classix. . I remember when I was like 6 listening to very expensive western music tapes in Soviet Union with such tracks as:

Bananarama - Venus
ABBA - Money
Anita Ward - Ring My Bell
The Trammps - Disco Inferno
Stacey Q - Two Of Hearts
Art Of Noise - Moments In Love
Depeche Mode - Policy Of Truth; Enjoy The Silence + 1000s more ....

AND I WAS DESTINED TO BE A DANCE (whatever the genres) MUSIC FAN!

yeah well, those tunes I've listed may be shit, but they still hold a special place in my heart when i listen to them. Whenever I hear em it brings me back to good times in my life.

Umm, I think it's important to point out that you can't have your childhood/teenhood back no matter who's making what kind of music. Another generation is getting its "growing-up with" music now.

That being said, I love listening to old tunes simply because they're so different from what you hear now. They came from a whole different social and political climate. And the intended ends, available means, and scarcity paradigms were different too.

There is no hope, you should start doing drugs! That might offer a solution!

I do live the world of today. I listen to new trance, progressive, and so on, and like it a lot. Just because I mentioned that the older electronica music turns me inside out emotionally, doesn't mean that I only stick to the past. After all, I have to go on. But the music is one thing that I can reflect on, remember the mood, the feeling, even sometimes the smell (depending on location) of some of the great memories I had back in time.

I really like the older sets, around 1999, 2000 of trance energy, sensation, dance department and innercity. The ones by tiesto, ferry, armin are classic and have fantastic uplifting trance that really makes me smile

... I share the same passion .... ... trance came into full force back then I love classic trance . Surely beats out some (NOT ALL, LOL) of the boring trance livesets I hear today (with except to the ones I attend in person )

I dont want to start a riot here, so I will be respectfull, and add that I love all trance, but when comparing classic trance to new, later trance I make this distinction.
CLASSIC TRANCE = ALL OF IT IS VERY GOOD
LATER, NEW TRANCE = A LOT OF IT IS GOOD/VERY GOOD.
