I too solely tread on those grounds for nostalgia trips.

Though there's plenty of good "trance" sounding records out there - it's just no one calls them trance anymore.

I continue to listen to Prog Trance on a decently regular basis, and occasionally find myself listening to some Epic/Melodic material (albeit in very small doses).

Although having moved past my 'gateway' (Trance) music for a few years now, I never quite left it behind, as there always manages to be that thoughtful, quality production that seldom pops up.

Rarely.

I do, but now I listen to a lot more house, techno, and breaks than ever before. I'm not quite as old(skool) as a lot of you here so for me trance is still cool. Other genres usually lack the energy I want.

I'm still pretty noobish to the Trance scene despite listening to it for a year or so now, so I'm still listening to classic tracks and they're new to me.

I've been focusing on House for DJing, though.

Yeah, rarely do Trance mixes offer anything interesting or innovative in terms of the technical aspects of it all.

I usually don't even pay attention to the mixing sequences when I listen to Trance mix comps, as they usually just amount to a showcase of tracks for me.

yes... very much so, but everything has melded so much I'm not even sure that todays trance is what i thought trance was a few years ago..

i still cant stand house..., but that too goes along with how things have changed over the years...

Not really. I don't love it as much anymore (maturity set in). I also feel as though the scene is past its prime, or "golden age".

Why is Trance on the immaturity side?

No not for a long while. I started getting bored with it back in 01/02 but tried listening too it for a year or so more and had enough.

Still listen to loads of house, some techno and breaks

I only occasionally listen to trance nowadays. I'm now on an almost exclusive techno and house trip. I'm liking it alot better anyways, even better than the old trance stuff that I considered awesome.
