Originally posted by humgalin im personally a trance luver....and hv been addicting to it for 5 yrs....started to DJ a year ago, and i listen to the latest recordz coming out every week... 2003 has been going very well...but ever since 2004 started, i hvn't encounter any real quality uplifting melodic trance track yet. all the quality song i bought from jan 2004, to present ar either from 2003, or re-released (not produced in 2004)... i no im a picky record buyer, but it was until yesturday that i couldn't take it anymore after 3 weeks of keeping up to date for the latest tracks, and came up with no real uplifting energy track (eg dj tatana vs the mystery-soul cry)... i no this has been discussed before, but trance at the present state is being overwhelmed by vocals........and a lot of the tracks, ar so cheesy that they sound almost like POP music.... and they're always being overrated all the time......... !!!i always wanted more tracks like armin van buuren-dido universial religion mix, but producers nowadays just seem to hv lost all their talents !!! plz take this thread seriously, and i wanna no wht u guys think

im afraid to say this, but i so agree, the new 2004 trance just sucks, its not abt melodys and uplifting vibes anymore, its about basslines and percussion etc.

it has changed over the years, 1999-2001 was the golden years of trance, its kinda deteriated over time...

im more into drum n bass/rock now so...owie.

however this topic reminds me of the topic i made a while back, saying that how im drifting away from trance and not coming back...

i will still listen to trance, just the old stuff, fuck the new shit.

Whenever I don't like something I look at it as my responsibility to change it. If you really want a quality track, learn some production software and produce the 2004 phenomenon, if you don't wanna put in the effort, learn to like what's out there.

So true. Thanks for saying it.

Almost all the online DJs play the same boring stuff: a slightly more saccharine version of Armin's playlist. Ah well, I suppose they have to in order to keep the internet listeners (I mean that seriously, too; the donations have to come from somewhere).

the ukta radio nights are so much better cos it's not just the same old shit, par example

At most there is about 50% of his tracklist that contains what you mentioned. Take a look at any DJ that produces and you'll see at least 2 songs that they've taken part of in the tracklist so all his Coldharbour Remixes can be excused. Oh and they're actually remixes...not just the same song with a different beat added so it's easier for the DJ to mix (I think we all know who I'm getting at here...).

isn't there still snow on the ground in large parts of the northern hemisphere? Why would artists waste their efforts by releasing their good works when people are not out and partying? come april/may as the summers big hits are starting their promotion drives there will be more and more good stuff come out.
I find it funny how many people spend a fortune on crap music at times like this and then whinge how they have no money. If it's not good don't buy it, and wait for something worth the money.

i seem to remember it being quiet this time last year. i reckon some of the better tunes that should have been out in jan and feb have been held back for the Miami Winter Music Conference.

ill reckon there will be a lot of new stuff being played there

Try listening to the Adam Sheridan Essential Mix
