Because it actually took some originality to produce instead of dependence on technology.

classic trance:

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Most of the "classics" you listed there were exactly the tracks that started the downfall that led us to where we are now.

No way, really?
Is it cause I posted some Tiesto songs?

By the way, other good classics are:

Gouryella - 1998
Gouryella - Gouryella
Art of Trance - Madagascar
The Mystery - Forgiven

Originally posted by stealthman Dont criticize music from a period of time whereby you've barely even bothered to spend time to find any decent tunes with an open-minded perspective. Making references to Paul Van Dyk's early works shows you barely give a shit in your course to do so or you either haven't grown any pubes yet. You say simple melodies in trance classics are primitive. I find them alot easier to remember and conveys the meaning of the track more effectively. Is that why producers/DJ's these days run out of ideas too quickly only to find themselves remixing old tunes all over again eh? Watered down. We are talking about the state of a genre that is widely and officially accepted as the "golden-era". The very success that led itself to its own bastardization by try hard producers who constantly fail in their attempts to reinvent the essence of Trance. If old trance fails that much in order to be considered watered down I'm pretty sure the "golden era" title would automatically become reclaimed back to its respected position today. However unfortunately for you, your obnoxious tastes in Trance music in comparison to the ratio of historic success of the genre from that point in time, bringing that title back would be about as possible as fisting the end of a needle. Watering something down is a process which follows the chronological order of time (in this case Success moving down towards Failure), not backwards, you fucksocket. Rougher production qualities. In other words, all you need is advanced up to date ableton/fruityloops/whatever shitty production software filled with clichéd presets to make that modern sounding Trance tune with those mega high quality crisp sounds and reverberated X 50,000 vocals made in an hour like a cheese factory for that next gig unicorn laser gig instead of some good old inspiration. You’re an insult to music in general. Fuck off. It is sad indeed when those clean, innocent rainforests are bulldozed constantly, just like the way technology (abused) and the ever growing hunger for profit fucked the meaning of Trance music. Pull your head out your ignorant, arrogant arse and accept it.

Dude, I am totally jealous of your ability to wax so poetically.
I couldn't agree with your post more.

Who else here figure's he actually hasn't heard the original, just the Corsten Remix? And LOL at 1998.

Trance classics =! classic trance


I consider this to be a very good example of classic trance

No, it's because you seem to think your favourites = classics even when some of the tracks have aged terribly or were awful to begin with.

I also find it a bit amusing you consider these tracks classics yet don't care enough to get the performers right (Gouryella didn't make 1998)
