off topic of the thread but...


you should check out "Wonder" best track of the summer imo, also check out "Snowblind".. it comes with a hot house mix by spincycle

Originally posted by NiteMer There's some other good stuff on there. I just got a new track that's pretty good, but I don't remember it's name. I was just curious what your stance would be. BTW, 8 or 10 is pretty good, if you ask me. Most of the trance I hear produced now is at best 6 of 10, with an occasional good/great track, here and there. I miss the 97-01 era of trance/prog trance. Breeder, Natious, Christian West, Sander K, etc.

most of trance always wasn't great...but the bad stuff wanst heard, now with all the radio shows it is...

2-3 years ago all you could listen to is live sets. most of the bigger djs keep the crap out of their live sets. now there is a billion ways to find tracks, exposing more of the crap...

Bro, you hit the nail on the head.

I agree there is some crap out there, and alot of online DJs think its cool to play the newest stuff, regardless of quality.

I know this response was meant to be tongue in cheek, but these comments will happen whether or not links to these shows are posted.

Look folks, we need to realize that trance doesn't live in a bubble. Prog influences trance. House influences trance. Techno influence trance. And in return, trance influences these genres back. To say "this is tranceaddict, not progaddict or house addict" ignores where trance comes from, and where it's going.

It's one thing not to listen to these genres because you don't enjoy them. Fine, I can deal with that. But to ignore them (and others!) is what leads to this homoginization that you folks are calling "McProg" or "American Progressive". Like it or not, this is all we're going to hear unless we start listening to other things.

Ultimately, this music reminds me of an aspen forest. Yes, it has the beauty intrinsic to a forest. It is something to be enjoyed, spun by djs and danced to. But when you look deep down, you find that each of those trees has the same dna, same genetic structure (since aspens breed asexually). We need new material, new influences, and new ideas.

So folks, if you have a favorite radio show available ont eh internet, lets hear about it. Start a thread (one with links here in the MD, one with a tracklist in the TR forum) about it, and lets hear what the rest of us are listening to. Trance, Prog, House, Techno, whatever. Heck, I'll look around, and try and find one to post about as well.

Good luck all, and remember, we're all on the same side here. Happy Holidays.

If I recall Wonder sounded like Sound54 and that's why I didn't buy it. Too similar. I thought it was good, but didn't need it. I have their mix of Subsky - Albino (great), Oneric, Dilation, and Sound54. I actually prefer the original of Dilation, but the G-Pal is good too. I also prefer the Shiloh mix of Oneric. Think it adds a bit.

the problem isnt the music. its the people that only like the music because so and so played it on their radio show. im sure you could look in todays ASOT thread, and there are probably a 100 omfg posts, over stuff that isn't that great. then these people post about it in md, or even worse new releases OMFG 10/10 on asot today...

just go look at the first 20-30 posts
