Yep thats the Good life I was referring to, for 88' don't you consider that to have some of the early signs of a trace track?

Well, about a year back my one of my friends showed me an article. I read it and it was about trance and shit. Well anywayz, I kept reading and reading then I came along BT. BT's real name is something like Brian Transue (sorry, I never spell it right ). They say in the article that thats where they got the word "trance" from was his last name. What do you think, is that a bunch of crap? Well, I have heard many different on where the word "Trance" came from, some people also said that trance is named trance because it takes you into a high state of emotion, feeling, and ectacy; Into a "trance". Hmm.. WellI dont know, what do you think?

Trance for this genre of music comes from the latter of your post.
It is the emotion / emotions we feel while listening / dancing to this music
That feeling of being high, lifted, onto another plane of being
that's how our music makes us feel
That's also where we get Euphoric Trance from, the feeling, the emotion . . .

Trinity, goodlife as trance, well it does not paticulary strike me as early trance, too pop like if u know what i mean.
i consider early trance as stuff like
Jenna - Heart of gold
vergeing from the happy house scene to trance that track

did u ever listen to that happy house stuff ?

neo, do you mean happy hardcore?

uh i think its brian transeau, but its bull that they called it trance cuz of him... "trance" music has existed for many centuries... in more of a tribal feel
(no electronica here, hehe)

but uh yeah that's just my two uneducated cents

Ick ! no i dont mean Happy hardcore lol
Happy house was a sort of offshoot to Happy Hardcore.
did not really take off but it was getting more into trance, was kinda fast and lively but also getting more emotional not just banging out fast bass beats,
happy House had a very short life cos ppl were sick of happy hardcore and wanted to move away (FAR as possible) from Happy hardcore
Trance did that for a lot of ppl giving happy house an early death
YAY us for that lol

Huuuummmm .... I doubt the word TRANCE came from Transeu, b/c the TRANCE word has been around for ages .. TRANCE is a state of mind, a higher state of altered consciousness .. you hear the word trance on old books .. where the monks say that they fall on a state of trance when they meditate and so on .
Well, the music that takes you into this state of mind, was applied this word since it took you into it, if you searched for TRANCE cd's, you will get results where its new age like kinda music . Look in amazon in NEW AGE top 100, and you will find lots of TRANCE music CD's, they are not the trance with the beats and so on ....
Plus, Trance music has been around about 10 - 12 yrs ago, and BT has been around for about 4 -5 yrs ?!?! if IM not mistaking .. well, IM just posting what I think, so this is not 100 % educated.

" Good life, good life, always a good life, good life, good life " etc etc etc ? if thats the track u mean, u consider that as early trance ? How about Leftfeild & Lydon - Open UP or The Prodigy - Skylined Skylined is a great track. from the Jilted Generation album. Someone Mentioned Pink Floyd ? well Floyd were classified as rock but to me they are the godfathers of Trance . . . some of their stuff is amazing ! and fits the trance genre perfectly (IMO) Anyone heard of the Ozric Tentacles ? woah from 1989 onwards they were playing trance of a sort, some of their live gigs woah amazing !

heyyyyyy I know that track...........

ok, I'm completely uneducated on the subject... but doesn't Robert Miles and 'dream' music contribute somehow to the birth of trance music? I hear a lot of people say that he was the father of what is now considered trance music...

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!
Now I didn't want to get into this thread but when I read this I just had to. ROBERT MILES? the only thing he may be the father of is the cheesy dream dance kind of music you still hear in too many commercials and on samplers for those who think this is trance.
Trance music was there long before Miles, just check out some of the stuff that was mentioned like Cosmic Baby, 4 Voice, Dance2Trance and so on.
Miles just made the music easier to listen to, he made it POP-music but that doesn't make him something like the inventor of trance...
The Overlords, Delirium, Nautilus, LFO, Blue Movie are some names that influenced trance in my eyes...
