I still get goosebumps when I listen to the old tracks like Tenshi or something.

Something that helped me keep my fire burning, is not listening to the same type all the time. Take a break, and listen to a different genre, and come back in a couple months?

Just an example , in the past 2 days ive been hearing the track:
hell ft billy ray martin - je regrette 'superpitcher rmx'

I'm just in love with this tune and ive never before repeated a track more than 10 times until this masterpiece !

I just cannot imagine a Mcprog Schulz style track ot an Asot track topping this , at least this is my opinion.

Lately ive been hearing alot of Sasha and digweed sets and they r all simply amazing , flawless sets unlike sets of Armin or Tiesto who have their good days and bad ones. Recently their sets are just a bore , nothing special in them , repeated constantly and not really well mixed and built !

It was really hard for me once to understand the beauty and sophistication of Prog and Electro music , i also used to diss it and wonder how can ppl listen to these styles as they were simply monotonic and boring for me. the breakthrough for me came 10 months ago when i was starting to listen more and more to the GU series and attended a Sasha and a Nick Warren gig ! Even though i always loved sasha and i still think that GU13 of his from Ibiza is the best CD ever composed i still prefered the fluffy uplifting trance back in the days .

I agree, threads like these seem more like an obfuscated attempt to go 'Neener neener neener, I dont like trance anymore, so I am better than those of you that still do'

Ive been feeling the same with trance, or maybe just that trance today almost feel overworked.

When i listen to the oldschool stuff i can pin out what i hear.

Bass
Beat and percussions
main lead
Pads
And fx

Today its
15 layers of bass
Beats with 200million layers of brushes or whatever and percussion fx
3 layered main leads (im pritty sure it was layered before but its starting to get insane sometimes)
Pads HUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE pads, after the pads your full of it just like if you have eaten to much of your fav desert and never want to eat more...ever...again.
And fx like if theres no tommorow, and stabs like hell. Oh and dont forget the choirs that they are using now...to make it even bigger and more filling.


I guess its just evolution, more is better.
But i do enjoy listening to other genres, shit ive even been listening alot to fear factory and El-p and much of the stuff is fresh for me and i like that. Trance has a way to get to much of the same.

Do i still love it?

oh yeah.

Ohh common , what's your problem of someone expressing his opinion , it's a forum after all and u dont have to take a glance at this thread if u dont want to.

Im not going to use the search button for everytime i want to post something here , it's ridiculous especially for a topic like this which is not that easy to find by the search button unlike a discussed thread of a certain Track which is fairly easy to find when the "search" option works .

Besides i never said i was better than anyone who hears trance music , i just stated my opinion regarding this genre lately. I never diss ppl for types of music except those who hear dj sammy , lasgo or commercial rnb !

Cheers

At the time you posted this thread there was like another 3-4 in the first page with the same content so there is no need to create a new one. And if you didnt understand my first post what i said is that no one cares of your life or if you liked trance before and now you become l33t cause you discovered prog or electro. You can get the same answers just asking for music in the same style of another prog/electro tracks but your life story wont make you look better, trust me.
