I wish, but hes to underrated

uplifting or whatever its called these days is truly so dead. i practically dont listen to this style since the beginning of 2002 when i started realizing that it all began to sound the same. and now i cant stand those cheesey synths playing every week on asot. it just horrible. Well at least its very good to see that trance is taking on new forms in different styles. prog breaks for example. they r almost all trance just with a broken beat. the soundscapes are very complex and so amazing.

Everytime I see another thread like this it just makes me shake my head. There is plenty of great trance being produced these. People need to look beyond the big names and find the underated stuff,,, it's that simple. Go and see John'00'Fleming live and then tell yourself that trance shit these days.

thanks for coming out

I didn't believe Ishkur initially, but he is right, trance is rather pretentious, overly formulaic, and.. well quite dead... Though, there is a lot of stuff that's closely related to trance (progressive house.. etc) that is very much alive..

Is it possible that people liked 1999 better than this year because they weren't able to download fifteen new livesets every week and oversaturate themselves with the tunes? Maybe in 1999 a tune was able to last longer than two months before it became old? I think that the production quality is weaker than 1999's at the moment, but at the same time, I think that people who listen to ASOT every week and expect it to be the next Oakenfold Essential Mix from 1999 are just kidding themselves.

Take a break. Try Zabiela, Freeland, Glaude, Barbara and then return to trance. Skip a week's ASOT. You're in so deep that you expect five new anthems each month.
