trance as we know it is different then the roots of it ( our current trance at first was more like psy trance then converged into different styles )
and yet trance in the past as a word feeling and state while not being solely similar still dates back thousands of years, repetitious drums transey feelings of odd twisting and turning and banging heads to music for hours prehistoric style .... and to be specific I name Morocco as the beginning!

That was the root of "real" trance, and sure most of you won't see the link but many of the rock bands of the past ( the doors for sure and also the beatles I think ) went to Morocco to experience with the locals, acoustic style ... of course they didn't play trance BUT they experienced it at the "source" and somehow created one layer in musical history set yet undefined as of it's borders ( rock and roll and "happy" feelings needed to be achieved ( in short = trance ) so basically drugs, our synthetic ability to emulate pleasure had to be laid ) .....

trance, as our races first escape, is all about roots, the state which you created by what you did not what you consumed...... hours endless, repitious of that same tamborine, that shaaz ( type of sitar ) etc etc , drugs not being the door to escape, but sometimes a part of the process .... maybe that explains why we're all damm addicts ! it's all about roots and our "natural" instincts...

What? I seriously thought the idea of trance came from video games.

gosh widden your culture and learn more about it

you know where techno started ? I'm scared of the answer you're gonna give me....

Trance Music along with body piercing, tatooing, rave culture, the punk movement of the seventies, the hippies and so on so forth are a reflection and escape to ou shadowy past 10000 years ago in the plains of Africa.
A few books to check out:
Terence Mckenna -the Archaic Revival,
Doug Rushkoff -Cyberia,
Modern Paganism,
Trialogues at he edge of the unimaginable by Terence Mckenna Ralph Abraham and Rupert Sheldrake...
And heres my view:
A Dj is like a tribal shaman. Both direct the ceremony/rave and the res o the congregations Trip or Psychedelic Journey. The Cermonies many times happen at night. This is due tothe fact that night time is a sacred time in many cultures... like a little death...which is also an important part of shamanic initiation. Sunrise is like a Rebirth.
So Where Does Trance fit into this....In both a rave and a primitive cremony you will find a monotonous beat or rythm which is central to the experience.
What does all this mean? Well that many people subconciously are tired of living in a capitalist, consumerist, auto destructive society and would love to return to a simpler way of life... like a tribal way of life.
