Jedi Knights - May The Funk Be With You
There's a good track with a long buildup. Right around minute four the release finally comes. BREWDERDERDERRRDER. 'Tisn't buildups that are the problem, because music is all about tension and release. 'Tis long beatless breakdowns in Trance or any other kind of music that wasn't mean to have them.
That's the idea man. Trance isn't meant to appeal to the masses. For 8 years Trance has been a watered down version of itself, made to appeal to the masses by whatever it may be, breakdowns or other things. People as a whole don't appreciate subtlety and/or harshness in music. They require catchy lyrics and pretty jingle melodies. So that's what trance got, losing the subltety along the way and gaining overblown everything, including breakdowns. Now, with that in mind, eschewing the idea of "good" and "bad", at least old trance was actually trance, and not overblown pop music. Saying that it is better because of this is a very logical and reasonable thing to do. However, saying something is better because it "serves a purpose" or the equipment is "better" is stupid. Just because a lot of people like something doesn't mean it's good.
