DJ magazine reflects the mood of the club proper...
1997,98,99 were all about trance until the formage kick'd in and people started looking for something new.
2000, 2001 were all about prog. People were sick of the uplifting, formage trance and wanted something more meaningful. Prog filled the boots. People declared trance dead.
2002, 2003 - trance rose back up (due to formage prog), filled the hearts of the despondent (sad prog listeners) and built a new realm of quality happy, emotional tracks.

Bottom line - the last 2 years trance re-built itself. Prog had overtaken the formage/crap trance that was being produced - and it took a few years (and a few good djs: tiesto, ferry, armin, pvd) to build back the happy sounds of late 1999.
Personally - I'm happy. Trance lives within me and makes me move. Prog did it's thing (rationalized me) but now that uplifting, spirited trance is back I'm happier than ever.
