Originally posted by m303 I haven't listened to trance for about ten years. In that time, it seems like it has really gone downhill. It's not the same anymore. It has evolved, but not in a good way. That's what I think right now, but maybe I'm wrong. You tell me. In the 90s, trance had amazing melodies, and had the ability to be beautiful, entrancing, uplifting, psychedelic all at the same time without being cheesy. Here are two examples of what I'm talking about. It seems very different now... Is that kind of trance still made today? I hope the answer is yes, but I'm not very optimistic that it will be.

Yes, it's different now. But lol, that first one has vocals, some people here think real trance never had and shouldn't have vocals... ha ha ha.

Ehmm, serious, used to like that ADSR track also back in the 90's. Got it somewhere, but don't ask me where.
Personally think Reaky's stuff is pretty dark and hard (see recent threads with Reaky).

I like stuff like this which is uplifting too and maybe not what your are looking for. But maybe you do like it, to me this is still real trance:

Oceania - Never Forget (Arctic Moon Remix)

A.M.R.-As Time Goes By (original mix)

Corderoy - Kyrie

I do like the happy stuff too. It just has to be done right.


Infected Mushroom was good when they made The Gathering. Not so much now.

I also like goa more than modern psy. I guess I'm just jaded?

Becoming more popular doesn't have to mean giving up integrity.

Yes, it's mainstream and bad now, but there are always good things beneath the surface, aren't there? That is what I'm looking for...

is this the thread where we promote our own stuff? ok check my web

Only if it's good.

But I did check your website and there is no music there. Just one promotional post on an empty forum.

If you like goa, check out this cd (2009):



Merr0w - Born Underwater. Intense, mildly dark, driving, and hectic.

Well this is my production

I tryed to make it different to what uplifting trance it's right now, i listen to mainstream trance surely not the commercial stuff though but the old sound was analog and now it's all about Logic or Reason Synths.

Yeah, I really didn't know this 'trance' fella all too well, to be honest, but I've heard only nice things about him. RIP, I guess.

Well I guess I'll do some self-promotion as well. Check this out: Horror and Moral Tyranny. It's got plenty of good trance and some other things like Acid Trax and Pioneers of the Warped Groove. I don't consider either to be real trance but they're close.
