I dunno but I dun think Moby should say that, is he dissing himself?? dance music is dying and he's like number 1... weird... I think that America is going through a messed up time in music with POP and all that crap but there's more and more people getting into dance music it seems and raves etc etc... if it gets full blown and becomes the new POP it'll "die" but really it will never die... it hasn't died since the beggining and never will... there's always gonna be creative people pushing the boundaries and making cool, intelligent, thoughtful or at least creative and enjoyable music.. this is probably true for any type of music...

I did misunderstand what was said about Urb... they really would be going through tough times if this was their idea..

that's all I wanna write or else I'll be nagging or something boring...

latez...

i live in the US... and ok, where I live, I get no exposure to trance music at all.. i can only get personal recommendations from friends or look on this website to see what new tracks Swamper has put out for us. And with the issue of dance music being dead, I'm not sure about that. Personally i am tired of hearing all this mainstreama pop Backstreet Boys crap. ok, it ain't bad the first time around, but after the 1000th time they play it in the same day, it gets quite irritating.. so yea, i'm not sure about dance music in general, but I do think that the US needs to focus on other music genres (like trance ).

btw, Moby rocks.

No no. Moby "used" to rock. (My opinion)

I hate pop culture

I agree that Moby is not what he used to be. Not that he isn't talented, cause I am sure whatever else he makes will be cool. But now that he is so popular, MTV and radio will be over that so quick it won't be tolerable. I remember when Play was a masterpiece, before MTV and radio bastardized it like a year and a half after it came out. Boo Moby. His older stuff is less played, but I really don't even bother anymore. peace.

as long as the freaks like us are still waiting to see great djs come out to clubs at 6 or 7 in the morning i dont think anything will happen to trance. it may get commercial and may be chewed up by the masses and spit out after a while but trance was not meant for the little losers who listen to nsync and backstreet. it was meant for the addicts of trance. and when the little losers are gone, those addicts will still be there at 6 in the morning waitin in line to get in because van dyk or oakenfold are inside spinning. thank you.

Here in the States, the "electronic" music scene is still relatively underground, thank God. Sure, there are raves and some of the big dance clubs are playing the good stuff. But, you have to remember that rock music is what Americans have been brought up on for so long. Actually, country music was the most listened to form of music in the U.S. up until a few years ago, then rap took over. Don't know if it's true, but that's what I read in some music mag. Either way, it doesn't bother me. I love Trance and I try to turn people on to it, I try to teach them how to listen to it. Most people say "It's the same beat, boom-boom-boom". I teach them to listen to all the other sounds and layers within the track and to figure out the story that the producer is telling. Some get it, some don't. I just wish I lived in Europe so I can hear more of what I love,TRANCE!! In the U.S., the dance scene is having a hard time. I'm American, but most Americans are too conservative and close minded to accept electronic music. The younger generation is starting to get it. Better stop, this is too damn long!! Peace!!
