hmmmm. i personally have no direct side to chose in this situation...wether or not i like a song has nothing to do with it's genre. i don't see very many producers pushing trance to new levels at all...has it done anything since '99? i havent really been paying attention to be honest, but i haven't noticed anything. i'm not saying i don't like trance, but it seems that a lot of people i know that like trance (personally, not you guys) kinda get one-dimensional about it. s'like a big band-wagon.

Carl Craig once described trance and the rave scene as 'A thorn in the side of electonic music'. I can see what he's saying, and if anyone knows the score it's Carl Craig.

That's kind of retarded because if there weren't for rave and trance, the number of people who listen to electronic music would be ten times smaller. Also, as far as techno being more underground, I'm not sure that's the case either. There are a lot of techno parties around here, and trance ones are very rare/small.

I think Carl's point was that the commercialism that trance suffers from harms electronic music in general,hence the "thorn in the side"-analogy.

Dunno what to put here.

Bashing certain types of music is so ghey.

If you don't like it, just don't listen to it. Everyone has his / her own preferences.

ask tta, and he'll say that jeff mills > all trance

where did i say that...GET IT RIGHT VERMI!

I think a good deal of people who like Trance but hate Techno have only just entered into electronic music a few years ago, other wise 7-10 years ago ( when Trance was relative unknown ) all of us would have ether been listening to Euro dance or Techno, and if you think about it, taking a Euro dance melody and puting it with a Techno track it becomes 95% of what Trance is today

Someone wearing a T-shirt that says fuck trance is not funny and that is a pretty "stupid" and wrong way to divert attention to techno. If anyone is stupid,it is the bitch wearing that t-shirt. end of story.

Meh, the site/shirts etc. are stupid, if they want to divert attention to techno then it just contradicts the fact that they call themselves 'so underground'. These days, saying you like detroit techno seems to be a fad, but then again it's pretty stupid for all you trance addicts to get pissed off over such a small thing, you know very well that this is what the people that made this site/the people that wear the shirts want. It's strange to see some of you get angry over this site yet you go on to bash techno.

Cheers
