I Agree! For instance, Carl Craig has made very emotional & melodic techno music through the years.

Detroit techno in general is very well known for its melodic elements. It's just different from the hit-you-in-the-face-with-a-sledgehammer type of melodies employed by far too many recent trance tracks.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

Techno is often more abstract. Trance melodies often ressemble classical melodies.

By classic, you mean used over and over and over again. yes?

I mean in their melodic structures.

Originally posted by twisted not all trance has big build ups and there are lots of techno tracks with some massive fucking build ups. they usually just dont have some dumb bitch singing at some insane octave about some long lost love in the clouds made out of tears that seem to burn with desire and float in the wind and listen to the sound of goodbye. btw, its louder than any drum beat.

HAHAHAHA

...that was good.

Get your history right son, find the old detroit stuff, that was melodic and was done that way. Ishkur may have written a piss funny guide but the guy does know his shit.

there was a time when techno had melody and trance didn't exist. there was a time when techno and trance both had melody. there wasn't a time when techno had melody and trance didn't, son. somehow i doubt you know your history much more than i do. i know ishkur knows his shit.

trance got going in 1987 and the first stuff did not have melody, techno has been around since probably 1984, it was more electro. So I agree with Ishkur, that there was a time where this happened.
