I was listening the classics when they weren't classics yet. Guess I'm to old for this thread, or started listening to early.

Headphones: my cheap Creative EP-630 and my meanwhile >15 years old Koss Pro 75 still do fine.

My Koss pro 25's are still going strong for me.

Heh, I got that one.

Mm, the transition from eurodance to classic trance wasn't too hard in my case, since a lot of the eurodance I was listening to at the time wasn't far removed from classic trance. You'd have a lot of the biggest producers of the time making both (Jam el Mar, for example). Then eurodance started turning shit around '97, but classic trance had also been overtaken by club trance by that point too, and became the new eurodance.

Headphones? Man, I've had my Senn 580s for over 6 years now, and they're still goin' strong! The HD 280s, which I use for outdoors, are starting to show a bit of wear'n'tear (I've had to duct-tape the headband foam to keep it from deteriorating). Still, not bad for 3.5 years of usage.

I got into trance b/c of djs like christopher lawrence and john 00 fleming, back then it was just called trance.

then "trance" as we knew it got real shitty and people started calling the stuff I liked "classic trance".

What You Call "Classic Trance" I call "REAL TRANCE".

What you call Trance now, I call MainStream.

and both of you are wrong. oldschool trance is 1989 to around 1995-6. 97-2001 are considered anthemtrance aka eurotrance aka cheese. then there was another prog wave, techtrance wave, hardtrance wave and finaly asot trance which killed everything (about 2005) and whats going on today is just aftermath of a dead main genre.

yeah, but please, 97-2001 was considered the golden era of trance. even though there WAS some cheese, there was a lot of stuff during that time that was superb

1989-1996 trance is all acid house, yes, and I do pay my respects. but 89-96 just never delivered that "Trance Energy" feeling.

89-96 was indeed psychedelic though

isn't psytrance inspired off of 89-1996 trance?

shit just spills out of your mind onto the keyboard at a rapid pace, doesn't it?

Hardtrance wave? LOL, and what about the around 1993 hardtrance then? Long wave I guess...
Asot trance as sub-genre is far to much honor for a radio show!! Sub genres suck anyways.

Now ontopic: I "inherited" mah bro's hard drive with thousands of shit Kazaa/mp3.com era music, some of it was shit, but it had some cool stoff that could stand out too. Like Octopus or 1998 or old PvD stuff (Columbia, We are Alive, My World, etc.)... This pretty much ended mah ZOMG TIESTO GOD phase.


Then I ran into [[ LINK REMOVED ]]
while looking for some random crap. I was sold.
