Well, I used to own a page about electronic music when I was a kid (13/14) and here are some helpful (and old) definitions

Trance: Very similar to ambient and acid house trance is softer than techno, but it can make you dance. It takes you trancely into another world. It evolved from the German Techno, using the rolling bass and sizzling keyboards of techno to give the music a hypnotic effect. From 128 to 150. Synth/sample driving, pounding basslines, complex cyber-sounding keyboards, usually instrumental.

I wasn't really an expert, this is just some material I compiled from several different websites: http://www.geocities.com/Vienna/Str...chnostyles.html

There are (old) tunes for each style...

... yeah, probably there'll be lots of inaccurate info

In my research I have found that almost 86% of the people who play video games like trance as well. So I believe that a lot of people who are open to new things would enjoy trance. I love trance, it inspires my poetic side which I should mention is going to be taught in my grade 12 english class

trance: the feling obtained by the induction of rhythmatic beats and synths, resulting in a variation of consciousness. ranging from euphoria to complete and total relaxation. i luv it.
