What's wrong with trance going commercial??? I don't understand what everyone's tendency to hate any remotely commercial sound... If trance becomes really big, that means more airplay on radio and more artists coming out with new stuff... we all win
Maybe I'm stupid, but someone needs to explain to me why mainstream trance is so bad

First of all, I downloaded it not because I wanted to listen to it but because I wanted to see how bad the transitions were and if he had any talent at all. He uses songs like 1) Silence (Tiesto remake) 2) Darude - Sandstorm 3) Castles in the Sky 4) Ascension (Thrillseekers remake) And so on....As you can see he is trying to appeal to all those damn teeny-boppers out there....I swear if MTV starts playing trance I will kill myself....I know Im going to see a bunch of little twelve year old girls at Best Buy buying this cd saying how Ray Munn looks like the backstreet boys....That reminds isnt Ray Munn a backdoor boy anyways????Oh by the way the transition between songs is absolute shyte!!!!AND TO TOP IT OFF, HE CONCLUDED THE CD WITH ONE OF THE GREATEST TRANCE TUNES OF ALL TIME Slyder - Score Please someone shoot me!

dangit, somebody hand me a doggie bag so I can hurl. Let's roll this twit, ray munnzer. The day MTV becomes the pusher of trance, it will be the end of civilization!

I think its fine the way it is, Trance has come a long way in the music world, it didn't need MTV to get its music to the public. I'm just not a big fan of MTV. Like I said, MTV is in for a fast buck, not nurturing the music/rave movement. What next? Playboy gonna get in on it too? hehe

plus, the success of the underground scene becoming big doesn't have to be dependent on commercializtion, it never did - until now. UK is bringing their style into the US and Canada, its an invasion in a big way. Who needs MTV?

Mainstream. Is it not the main reason we all listen to trance is because of the crud of mainstream (pop, country, rock. r&b) today?

sounds like you are teaching the peons a few things about trancE! LOL

Trance is not dead and neither is any type of electronic music. Trance will just change into another form. Some ppl believe everything they hear.

I don't get it.
here in Israel tower records and any other CD store is overflowed by house and trance CDs, ofcourse the MTV music and rock takes a place too but the section of trance is huge. and you can buy trance CDs for 10-20$.
and ANYONE here knows what trance is, and i mean everyone (even my mother).
and ofcourse trance rule the clubs...

you lucky people. about 4-5 years ago, these import CDs cost me 50-60 bucks canadian for ONE CD!! Plus, most the tracks were average and only one good tune on these CDs. Today, the prices are better, but not any cheaper.

you got any mp3s?

Oh god.. ain't that right, but where else would bullshit like this happen?? Only in the money hungry America... where all great music can turn to shit!!

dude, i don't want trance to be mainstream.....that will suck....it's a neat thing that not so many ppl listen to trance or know what the hell trance is here where i live, then it might as well be like N'sync or shit like that...everyone will listen to it, and i wont be having that special feeling knowing everyone else is missing out.....

anyways....MTV & trance bad combination, fukkin MTV stick to the boy bands and the hip-hoppers and bad electronic music such as Prodigy hehe,

aahhhhhh, kinda makes me mad in a way.....

>JM<

See in Europe you all don't over expose music groups like we do over here in North America so it's cool that way, but MTV and MM would fuck up Trance and any other underground electronic music here very easy, so i'm gonna quote one of my favorite underground hip-hop emcee's by sayin.... "I don't want to be Main-stream, i wanna to Piss in it!"

trance already holds its own in the cities of New York, Las Vegas and Chicago... the central america thing is about to happen...

LETS START THE RAVE-OLUTION!!

it is about time the yanks caught up

peace
