I don't know, I recall 2003 as extremely polarized between epic fluff and super-deep progressive. The progressive wasn't bad, exactly; it was just got really boring after a while.

It seemed that all the producers with any soul were determined at the time to slow the BPM and drop anything remotely melodic from their palette.

2002 struck me as pretty good on both sides of the rift; trance wasn't too empty, and progressive wasn't too sleepy. Yet.

aside from '99. the only years better than 2005 were '04......and '03, and '02, '01, '00, and 1993 for humate's love stimulation, and '98 for pvd's remix of binary finary's track by the same year.

Come now, how could '05 be a good year when the releases of tiesto's cd, pvd's cd (who i used to be #1 fan of, ok mebbe #2), and armin's cd were not exactly at the level of a Chicane artist album or Corsten's Innercity mix cd??

For the most part I have been into house n prog the last couple years but I still love trance, it just tends to be stuff '03 and older like classic Dumonde, drool drool.

In a contest of which is the worst year in trance history, they do rival each other quite nicely.

How could this year be any good when there wasn't a full length from the Godfather of Trance, Oliver Lieb.

2005 have been a terrible year when it comes to melodic trance. seems like producers ran out of ideas long ago. A good example of that is the 2005 remake of Whiteroom - Whiteroom.
I still think that one was a joke from the producers. At least I hope so. They can't be serious can they?

On the other hand there have been some great progressive trance (no not prog house) releases this year. It's all about searching for the right labels and stuff.

I agree with everything that Montana said, except that I have hope for Trance over the next couple of years. Someone's bound to have the guts to un-fuck it.

AWESOME! 1 month to go! 1 month for more AMAZING songs!


i totally agree with you! Especially cuz the scene in Miami was all about House!!! Now we have these new clubs opening up bringing in Trance dj's that have never been down here before!

2005 kicked ass \o/
