ok I don't really know what ambient is. but isn't it like Chicane - offshore?

I've always felt that the salvation of trance in its current state is tech-trance. Marco V and Katana are virtually the only ones paving the way, aside from the occasional hard production from Tiesto (Flight 643, Traffic) and Paul (Out There, Movement).

Trance needs to leave this fluffy uplifting side of itself for a while, stop beating a dead horse, and move on, at least temporarily. The dark side of trance has barely had room to breathe. Check out Deniro - Mind of Man and think of the possibilities.

i kinda miss the old-school mid-nineties stuff with goa elements... the '99 oakey psysymphonic music... in any case, there will always be people who do like only the melodic stuff, so we can't just abandon it completely.

Yeah, me too. I've always liked the trance that was inbetween the UK goa boom and the '99 explosion, like on the early Hook releases. I think a hard version of this style would kick the crap out of uplifting for at least a little while; like a fusion of dark trance and tech-trance.

You'll probably find any album by Boards of Canada refreshing, especially their album "Music Has The Rights To Children". The track Telephasic Workshop is great.

Originally posted by Rakoon Haha! I'm three months ahead of you guys. Got sick of trance and stopped listening to it altogether. I just stuck with house and breaks while my friend got me into rap, so thats all I listen to now. Occasionally I listen to some trance by my favorite labels like Banshee.

OMFG can i be like you?

btw, it's usually the other way around; your friends usually get you away from mainstream american craprap, not into it

your a joke

Grab the WOW set from djmixes 2k. It's pretty good.


But actually I still listen to some old tiesto & armin stuff sometimes from years back.

This is a pretty good set:
