exactly..

you know Holland is famous for it's Trance reputation..

well we've got three cable music television channels here.
And all of them broadcast R&P and Rap videos continiously..

Trance is becoming a rarity (even metal/rock is seldomly played, exceptions for poppy crap like Avril Lavigne).

where is the world going

Like you all say Trance got a bad reputation among clubbing people. Its house and its likes that is hot now adays.

But i would say that trance got its bad reputation for not being what it once was. Sure Alice Deejay has given the music a bad name amog people but also producers like Ferry Corsten and DJ Tiesto. The Trance people over here is or at least was used to was much more psycadelic influenced, and not like this pussy soft trance we have today with producers just like Ferry Corsten.

This is just what I got a feeling of anyway. Im too young too experiance this myself. Feel free to correct me if you believe me to be wrong.

My personal opinion is that acts like Alice Deejay (hey, Gielen (and Svenson) played a part in that act, don't talk badly about it ) and Ian van Dahl is nothing more than eurodance and mistaken for trance by some people.

Anyways-->
You should wait until the summerparade is taking place in Oslo (I'm not quite sure exactly when but I bet it ain't hard to look up if you try ) I think it's the last week of July.

Anyways there should be enough partypeople and decent music for everybody by then, but if you really badly want to hear some good trance, meet nice people and see some decent DJs you should watch for the [trance.nu summer boat]. That'll be great, I'm definately going this year if nothing unexpected happens.
