the only music i can think of thats more emotional then trance are film scores...hence why trance djs remix film scores

adagio for strings
nickelson - ying (solid globe remix)
braveheart (oakenfold remix)

etc.

nice to see that a discussion like this still exists and trance is still strong with all of the 'i've moved on' attitude from so many ppl. i got into it in 2000, and still love it just as much today!

Nothing like the raw energy some of the more pure tunes give off.


DJ Vesiga vs. Jomar - Nightoperator (Club mix) <- and my current custom status

Rank 1 - Airwave (Original)

Kevin - All in my mind (original)


And so many more.

I <3 trance simply because it requires no attention span whatsoever, and therefore it is a welcome change from the hectic pace I have all day long...

Really I just think trance fixes all of the problems that exist within other genres of music. Music sounds good because of the complex melodies and harmonies, the rhythms, the tone colour, the progressions, etc. So many of those things are lacking in pop, hip hop, and other genres (when's the last time that you heard a hip-hop song with any deep musical harmonies?). Classical music has all of that but it just isn't fun to dance to. Yeah sure, movie scores have all of the intense melodies and build-ups/breakdowns, etc... but you can't throw your hands in the air and go nuts to them without the predictability of the 4/4 kicks and a steady tempo.

So trance is the best of both worlds. It's musically profound like many great classical works, but still fun to dance to.

My favourite trance songs all have interesting chord progressions and tons of polyphony... take a song like Tastexperience - Highlander. There are at least 8 or 10 layers of MELODIES. Not 8 or 10 layers of percussion like you'll find in lots of progressive/house/tribal tracks, but MELODY. Even a track like PPK - Resurrection is quite complex. You won't find many tracks like that in rock or hip-hop.

I'm not as big of a fan of the "let's compress the shit out of one big synth" movement that's been heard in a lot of trance tracks as of late. Yea, it makes the track sound big and fat (similar to what distortion does to guitars), but if the melody itself is not that interesting, then people will get sick of the song pretty quick.

Trance recovers me, enjoyable and is progressive.

cause you can actually FEEL the music

a TRANCER SINCE 1993 - with no end in sight!

repetitive layered manipulated melodies - the music between the notes

trance has depth - this is what I like about it - getting lost in the music - different journeys for different people

trance music stimulates in varying degrees a myriad of emotions depending on the listener

IT JUST FEELS GOOD!




WIKKID WIKKID!
