Well I think you are missing the whole point to this thread

I personally think the quality of trance is getting better but there is way too much stuff classified as trance these days.
i guess its cheese.

I was listening to euro on 103.5 and I don't like that stuff, but I did hear some fairly quality productions.

but if you remove the vocals you will have trance. And under those vocals is really cheesy up beat bouncy dance. - sure its fun, but its euro pop or dance. Trance is more progressive and serious IMO.

but who am i do define trance haha
I'm sure that all other styles of music have the same debates. My brother is a hip hopper and hes going on about how its not underground any more etc. sounds like so many trance topics too

all genres have its good and bad - but proportionally I think trance has mostly bad - and its probably because half of it isnt really trance, but dance.

So it looks like you guys are mad at the classification police!!!?

In that case... I really love my melodically-progressive-uplifting-yet-mellow-but-sometimes-catchy-but-not-too-catchy-and-quite-epic-sounding-4/4-beat music.....

....trance for me for short.

Dont get me wrong there is still some excellent stuff out there, and 2003 was particularly good for trance – but it just bugs me how so much music can be bunched into one genre name.

Its like calling all music with a guitar rock and roll, and not sub categorizing it. I do realize trance has about 5-9 sub genres but its just getting annoying that when you look for trance you get tonnes of other stuff that hasn't been properly categorized.

As far as looking outside of my genre, I do like some other stuff (like ambient, breakbeat trance, melodic nunrg, hardcore, nrg trance trancecore etc), but I am bonkers only for trance and will not leave this style .

I guess that the work part about being a DJ - its searching for the 'good stuff' and presenting it to listeners. But lately you search for hours to find a DECENT track, let alone a keeper.

SO just when I'm in the midst of yapping about how trance is not doing it for me recently I come across one of those tracks that throws you back in your seat and reminds you why you love trance so much.

I advise all of you to check out "Robert Nickson - Spiral" This is a really beautiful - well produced - epic track

I will be adding this to my bin when its released.

who's bringing who down?

anyway, listening to trance solid since 92 I am not just going to change my style now. If I dont like I dont listen.

as j_spot said juno is just one shop, this is true, I keep this in mind. But even physical record shops need a lesson in trance...

Generalizing ????

I hear this all the time TRANCE now a days sucks

well if you look at every genre there is stuff that sux in every one of them.

I use to listen to Trance a lot but I stopped for a year and went to prog house and breaks - so much more interesting and a lot less cheese.

it seems that trance is having a resurgence. It looks like new producers are putting energy back into the sound. Who would have though of "breakish" trance or "housey" trance as being trance sounds There are a lot of good trance toons right now so it makes me think we're at the start of a new cycle again.

I CAN'T STAND IT when people call trance or other EDM techno. Techno is a distinct EDM genre. It's like calling Hip Hop rock and roll. Augh!
