Hmm, i dont think so. When you compare the production of trance to the likes of say hip hop, id argue that trance is very much more difficult and complex to produce.
I mean in a standard hip hop track what is there? Kick, Bassline, minimal percussion, the odd banjo here and there and some background pads. There must only be like 10 odd channels.
Compare this to a complex trance tune.. for example Bt Vs PvD - Forbidden Fruit.. Absolutely loads going on. Getting the levels correct to a professional standard, with so much going on is not easy.
Granted recent efforts in trance have been lacking, and im only talking about the actuall production of trance not creativity.

I'm not talking about the possibility for complexity. I have created and heard complex trance. There are a myriad of possibilities with in the genre. I was pointing out that creating a trance track is quite easy, when it comes down to it. It is based on many simple numerical systems, and it rarely strays from them. That's probably why I enjoy Goa / Psy-trance the most, for it tends to manipulate and distort those systems more so than the other forms. I think people often forget how seductive music can be (espically in combination with drugs). Even if you don't do drugs and you're just a dogmatic, feebleminded freak, you're still putting yourself in an altered state that tends to be rather captivating. Good luck weathering the storm.
