That sounds like some classic east coast cynicism. Here in the idealistic west I still find diamonds of wisdom in the Music Discussion rough. The West Side worldview is why Death Row records could never be touched by Notorious BIG and his cronies. The West coast is largely lovers--the East coast, largely haters. But I digress.
It's probably my fault that discussion on this thread has been lacking: I sort of posted an excited rant after coming home from a great party without really posing a question or an interesting comment to be expanded upon. I just wanted to convey that Trance (the song I posted was more Progressive, but the party did feature a lot of genuine Trance) can still be (1) heard on the dance floor, (2) be successful in getting people moving--and creating the sensation of euphoria/goosebumps that we have all felt--even among a more mainstream crowd, and (3) considered not to be "dead" because of these facts.
I would argue that there is quite a large audience out there who would get into Trance if it received more opportunities to work its magic on a crowd. Instead I feel the modern club scene has been trending towards more cheep thrills House rather than clubs/DJs taking a risk on making an artistic statement that people can remember. |
Ah, now that's a better post.
Er, unfortunately, you're also kind of preaching to the choir.
1. yes
2. d'uh
3. depends who you listen to. Most naysayers are talking about the Tiestin van Schulzenyonds of the trance sphere, and they're typically right. Those who dig deeper and unearth trance from the likes of psy and such, however, will completely agree with 1 & 2.
