Originally posted by GoodYearsPassed hey peeps I was introduced to the wonderfulness that is trance around 1999. I bought my first CD in 2000 and have recorded tracks from the radio on ye ol' casettes till 2002/03. Now I live in a small and musically retarded country and I figured trance pretty much died around 2003 ...

FYI trance died somewhere around 1995 and Roberto Concina bears a lot of responsibility.

I agree with the today. I think trance was much better in July than it is today. Today. It's all cookie-cutter progressive trance now. .

Originally posted by LiGHT78 Yeah...From what I've seen most of TA talks about house mostly and hates trance though.

True.

We discussed this topic so many times, but before we can really answer it we need to define 'dead'. What is dead?
a)it's not played on mainstream radiostations
b)the quality of the productions has declined
c)the demand in clubs is small
d)trance dj's are lower ranged in the dj mag top 100 than i.e. house dj's
e)there are fewer "trance-fans" who regularly listen to trance

etc etc?

If you think trance isn't great in holland, think again I guess

And there are tons of dutchies who can tell you in your face they like trance.

I never undrestand why people say that trance is dead, what does that mean?! how can a music genre DIE???


your from holand and your asking the most stupid quastion you could ever ask. There are shit lodsa trance events kicking off in holand as we speak and yet your asking if trance is dead? o come on ffs...


I could name more than 100+ great tunes just from 2005 which are just as good as 1999 or whatver IF not better!


From the sound of it, your just a lazy **** who can't be arsed to do abit of research on the music you LOVE.

Trance isnt dead. Its just been in a really bad accident, broke its back and will likely never walk again. Doesnt mean its dead... its just not going anywhere in a hurry.

Ah its people like you who make me wanna be on forums.

Have you bothered reading all my posts? It isnt about trance being dead, its simply a titel for the tread and i mentioned it in my intro.
It makes writing more interesting.

Then I mentioned the main problem, and asked a solution.

Its simple, I told you I havent listened to radio in years, because I was under the impression that the genre had somewhat faded away.
So naturally I would stop doing research.

Why the heck do you think I'm here now? This IS my research.

I can name you 100 better tracks too, but thats not the point is it?
We all like different tracks, you could name me 500 for all I care, theres still a chance I won't like all of em.

What this tread was about, is recommendations, which you would have know if you had read better and picked out the important part of the post.

So before we start the name calling, try and be more understanding and read please.
I just got here, and so far yer not helping in making me feel welcome, like so many forums, show some understanding man.
