trance was new in 1978 and it died since the early 80s.

No.

I think youll find the word is evolving.

I think trance is getting better. Sure there is increasing incompetance in certain areas of mainstream trance, but when you look at acts like Way Out West, Shpongle, James Holden, you will definatly see great progress melodically and production wise.

After hearing something like WoW - Killer I can't even listen to Rank 1 - Airwave without getting bored. I guess to me the uplifting nature of Airwave doesn't seem enough and my ears seek some sort of progression to the tune, some sort of intelligent build and drive which ultimatly creates a trance.

It's all about the tech-trance

I love how creative Marco V has become in his sets
e.g His Innercity set

"Does anyone else think melodic trance is dying?"

Hmm, I don't think it's dying, but it definitely evolved from the mid-late 90s melodic, dreamy trance that got me hooked on it. I remember listening to Paul Oakenfold's mixes of the 1990s, geez those were spectacular. Basically a spiritual experience was what I went through hearing it. The euphoric emotions brought up from the music were like nothing I ever experienced with any other kind of songs. I think most of the trance I have heard post 2001 haven't come close in bringing that euphoria level up. But here and there I still experience it, one recent example....I was listening to Paul Van Dyk's Live at Nature One Mix that I got off TranceAddict and from the 29min mark until about the 46min mark it was simply astounding. I'm not familiar with trance song names(just download mixes) so I'm not sure what songs were playing by name. But ya, enough of this babble....just my 2 cents.

Don't think it's dying, we just have a quiet period, that's all!

Most trance artists will probably fade out, but some will stay- the talented ones. Hawtin, Orbital, Way Out West, Orb,... they still make good stuff. It's impossible to make a living from record sales, tho... "Dance" and electro departments in my local record stores have shrunk by about 50% this past yr., prob. due to MP3 trading... TRance artists will always be in demand to provide sci-fi soundtracks and action movie soundtracks, tho...

As for the clubscene, and the obnoxiously male-dominated, overhyped "profession" of "dj"-ing, I don't care if it dies out.

I'm inclined to agree, Way out West has definitely produced some real quality stuff, but I never really thought of as trance. It's just picking nits, really, but they seem pretty breakbeat, especially on tracks like Northern Lights, but I'm not too versed in terminology anyway.
