most of those tracks would be awesome without that clicky kick drum and all the un-tiss percussion, rolloffs and hollywood style sfx
just that pulsing bass, some dark pads, and ocasional ambient samples and that stuff is money
oh wait, it sounds like i'm talking about trance music

Yeah, I definitely know what you mean nefardec. I don't listen to that stuff often, and I almost never listen to a track from start to end. I really like the atmosphere in most of the songs though.

Well I've never taken drugs but I still really like trippey music . Mainstream trance is all very nice, but it seems that basically everything labelled under it seems to suck. Get me some 7-9 minute mainstream trance with some really good breaks and atmosphere and I'll change my mind. I buy gatecrasher classics and then find out thats basically all the good songs under trance on a mere 3 (or 2 since last one is prog house) cds! Psy isn't exactly great on average quality but theres still some really excellent stuff. I'm not really concerned by differences in bassline (theres good and bad stuff in trance, psy and goa) or percussion etc but as skov said... the atmospheres are simply amazing as well as far more interesting synths (and the depth imo).
I really do like classic trance though. some of that stuff is so dreamy (as well as the melodic techno that sounds like it). It's not I don't like mainstream trance its just no one seems to make any decent stuff of it. I used to not like the too trippey stuff but I gradually got used to it, only stuff like psychaos-keyboard window melts my mind (and not when I'm in a good mood) tbh. I guess its just something you acquire a taste for. Come for the kewl synths and melodies and say for the trippeyness
[edit] @ the person below me: Right... so I'm jaded if I prefer one genre(or sub genre) to another? When I say classic trance I don't mean 1997 trance I mean 1995 (and even then some of the stuff back then was more modern) and before. I.e. nearly a different genre to goa/mainstream. Maybe not quite as different as acid house and house but still fairly different. How is it jaded to believe something old is better? I mean I never even listen to any trance (a little classic trance when I was little maybe) before 2 years ago so its not even nostalgic.
Theres a tracklist at the end... however its a little hard to read (with some pausing and looking closely you could figure it out though).
