I can make the same exact argument with Orbital. They are also not a trance act but if you were to take their track 'Halcyon' for example, any old schooler would tell you that is regarded as a trance classic by default even though it is breaks. I'm making the same assumption with FSOL. I agree it's truly breaks as you say, but calling it trance is not wrong either as that record does express some of those elements. |
And the same can be said about the KLF. There's plenty of music that is trancey that is not always labeled trance. The KLF isn't widely regarded as a trance act, as others like Paul van Dyk, Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Airwave, Phynn, Steve Helstrip, Above & Beyond, Ronski Speed, Micro de Govia, Greg Murray, Solar Stone, Alex MORPH, Smith & Pledger, Super 8, Oliver Lieb, Push/M.I.K.E., Cygnus X, Three Drives, Mike Shiver etc etc are are. When people think of these artists (people that know them) they think of them as trance.
But I will say that KLF's music is trancey, even some of Pink Floyd's stuff is, and a lot of Tangerine Dream's and Jean Michel Jarre's stuff, but that doesn't make them trance either. It just means that being hypnotic is a part of a lot of music, it doesn't owe itself just to a specific genre called "trance". Plenty of World Music, esp Latin, Indian and African has a hypnotic appeal to it, esp with the heavy percussion and hypnotic effects, like with the Sitar in Indian music, Conga in Latin music, and all of the various African Drums.
