If you call 2003 weak, what is todays music compared to that then?

You can but it really won't change my opinion much. I have most of those too but and you can set your watch to them all. Just how I feel.Like I said, in my opinion. I'm 29 but got into electronic music quite early... '95-'98 is best for me.

I still find great Trance today, I might only find 10 tracks or so in a year but it's worth it. I find that if you stop bitching about the music and actually take time to dig you might surprise yourself. Overall, I find lots of good music as I have broad tastes.

Have you ever heard 'Sunburn'? Essentially the same track but dials down the cheesiness of Dub.Wav:

i'd like to hear these 10 tracks. i'd be surprised if even one of them were anything other than competent-but-forgettable. and most of them likely lie in the awful category.

today's trance is utter pish.

and i'd say ten mediocre tracks a year? worth it? no i don't think so.

So 10 good trance tracks every year makes todays trance better?
I dig alot and i rarely find anything worth listening to, at least not trance.
Airwave, JOOF, You Are My Salvation and Timewave, without these trance would be literately dead to me. Magnus, Thrillseekers, Activa release good stuff sometimes as well.
