Would love to see guys like ... Daniel Kandi, Ram, Joorn van Deynhoven etc.. with more gigs to represent
Agree with your entire list. However, the ones I highlighted all had mixed responses in Holland. Most people love RAM, because he throws a lot of the parties himself. However, Kandi and JvD aren't getting the same recognition they used to and that was a bit weird/unexpected to see while over there. They still play great sets though!

At some point in this decade, I predict that a members only trance club will exist in NYC that lets its members vote on whom they want to see booked. Good things happen to those who wait.

Still a work in progress - just gotta get the right talent at the right price (ie dirt cheap) to start it off

not gonna lie, trance could definitely use a popular blog or five ran by people who are actually digging to find good tracks
There are good tracks? Really? I haven't noticed. I feel asleep at my computer after the thousand or so shit tracks that I listened to.
No but seriously, I'm extremely spoiled in terms of originality and quality and its getting harder and harder for me to get my fix. I've found myself focusing more on other genres because I don't have to filter through as much garbage and don't get frustrated as easily.

Hence the need for that type of blog, or whatever.

Nope, because the said "good tracks" will be the opinion of the blog owner and I may not necessarily agree with that persons taste.

But it can't hurt to give the blogger a test run... maybe you do have similar tastes in tracks and said blogger could pick out a couple good ones out of the x-amount of 'generic/cheese' tracks.

I'd recommend you check out music from some labels like Silk & Mistique though I'm sure you already have. and I'd also recommend the drum & bass genre. last year I listened to a greg benz set 'if I played drum & bass' & I fell big into d&b, started digging up a lot of artists etc. I could give you some artist/track names if you like. blu mar ten-all or nothing is a good example of a 'trancey' d&b track. if you like the anjunadeep sound, you'll like blood groove & kikis, possibly maison & dragen. if you like some trancey breaks schodt & aeron aether are good. schodt-heatwave is an awesome track. and also dinka and soundprank-2 of my fav producers who should be genres of their own!
there are some decent trance trax out there, it all depends on perspective. for example, I don't care for artists like norin & rad, aly & fila, ronski speed etc. while there are others out there who are big fans of them.
with all the trouse takeover going on out there I still find more than enough awesome music to listen to on a weekly basis..lots of good music for the finding.

i dunno man, to me aly and fila still play trance and support underground and up & coming artists,just peep their tracklist for their radio show, theres def a few gems on there every week
as for finding music, it is def harder to find good trance music these days
here is the new airwave song...
song is a lil on the progressive side but still real trance music
love the overall sound...thru out the years airwave still keeps it REAL!!!
iam curious to see how many dj's will support it on their radio shows
