I imagine some of you might hate them but to say it's musically uninspired is a bit of a stretch, at the very least there's definitely more to the genre than Beatfulx's video would lead you to believe.
I don't think anyone took that literally.

No but I imagine there's a lot of people here who already prefer prog or house and after listening to something like this it'd go ahead and confirm their already shallow beliefs.
I know nobody's going to listen to this and assume every single song has the same arpeggio, but I can realistically see it discouraging plenty of people from looking further into a genre that's full of great music if they're willing to dig through trash like this.

I find this so fluffy and generic. If you can't tell the producer by the track, it is generic filler. It is like bad alphazone from 2000 except they actually had some good tracks.
Guys like flutlicht, SHOKK, Scot Project, Alphazone pretty much took uplifting trance as far as it can go. I have yet to hear anything that even comes close to the original guys. The problem is for some reason , the western hemisphere has been inundated with awful british trance which has always been second rate generic shit.
hey man dont you be dissin alphazone! then again i liked the uplifting german shit that was pushed out in 2003 era..man they were gud times

Then quite honestly you probably wouldn't like uplifting, it just simply appeals to different things than prog or electro does. But, I'll try.
can't believe nobody has posted the overplayed cygnes track from claud9. i was lucky to catch it on its first release before AVB buried it, but its still a very very good production
And i'm not one of those people that only likes old stuff. I love alot of new EDM but it isn't in the trance genre. And I hate the old old EDM. But for melodic trance, the epicentre of good stuff was from 2000 - 2003 and the artists were SHOKK, FLUTLICHT, Scot Project and Alphazone.
I honestly feel bad for those that missed that era and never got to go mega raving with those tracks. I guess what i'm saying is that it was an era. move on. stop trying to recreate it as you won't come close. It would be like recreating the classical or romantic era. You will always sound like some cheap derivate unless you innovate.
