Originally posted by kr00t0n So essentially there can be no recent innovative/groundbreaking trance, because any such tracks become their own genre/subgenre?

there can be.

when these innvotive compositions are produced they are usually ignored or disdained. if it's the former, they may lay forgotten for eternity waiting for someone to discover them. if it's the latter, people accustomed to the standard sound may hate it. these are people stuck in their ways and in many senses, risk averse.

some of these innovative productions will be copied tho. if a sufficient number of imitators arise, they will tweak the innovative composition a little further moving the sound away from original innovative production. they may do this to distinguish each other and not necessarily create someting new. eventually there are a lot of producers sounding the same (copycats). this sound tho is different from the sounds that were around when the innovating sounds was created. by this time, the sound is tired. and then some innovators pop up again. well, actually innovators arte popping up all of the time, but it is here (when people are tired of the old sound) that they have a fighting chance.

looking retrpsepcively, one can see that there are different subgenres. the thing tho, is that one is in the middle of everything can't really cant see the whole forest and can't project oneself into the future to see the present as the past.

this is linear evolution. think of birds and how some evolved into flightless birds, swiming & diving birds (but flightless), and the flying variety.

then there is convergenence in cases where music evolves from different roots to something that sounds similar. think of the fish and dolphins.

Originally posted by Radagast I'll go so far as to say that you're an idiot, and far from a trance fan. You don't know what a classic is. It doesn't matter how many people like it because the large majority of trance fans are ignorant fools like you. A small majority of trance fans like J.M. Silk - All In Vain, Rhythim Is Rhythim - Strings Of Life, Inner City - Good Life, or any of the tracks I posted, but that doesn't mean they're not classics. It means you don't like them. Reply when you know what you're talking about. The latter year tracks I listed are more classic than the others in the same years listed earlier because they actually sound like real classic trance. Most of the tracks in the original list are listed because a large majority of pop fans like them, not because they're classic. Try that one on for size, spivey.

then how do u define "classic"

What about it? Yes, Jarre's Oxygene was originally released in 1976. It's not trance or even close but a classic it is.

Check THIS.


Oh and A&B mix of Home from 2000 is one of the worst mixes of it.. after Rob Searle's. Tilt's mix is also way better than A&B's. Just check the '97 mixes and you'll see how much better they are...

U.S.U.R.A. - Open Your Mind (1992); I'll be damned if that isn't a classic.
