I think it's kind of sad how close minded some people can be, simply to label something pathetic because of it's country of origin. Although the scene is not nearly as big as it is in Europe, it is growing. Wax shops going up here and there, and even a little radio airtime (albiet very little).
There is good American trance as well as good American DJ's if you look for it. I've already recommended Joshua Ryan in this thread as an example of an excellent producer, here's a few more Deepsky, Doran, BT (Yes Brian Transeau is American born in Washington DC, grew up in Maryland), and Thomas Trouble (He's a local SF Bay Area DJ just came out with a fantastic track called "Mysterious Skies")
I'm not saying that it's all good, or even that they're better than their European counterparts, I just can't stand it when people automatically dismiss the music simply because it's "American". Good music is good music no matter where it comes from.

P.S. In a post promoting American talent, I have to give props out to some great local DJ's, Mars & Mystre, Dyloot, Tom Slik, and Gianni
