Thats all i can think of now.

YAYyyyy... PVD and tiesto..


YAyyyyyyy...... Gouryella, but I'd want Tiesto to do it as well.....


YAYYyyy... ferry and Tiesto.....

YAYYyy... Gouryella.....


Tiesto's seems like he's slowing and retiring, y doesn't he just do Gouryella again?

I would have producers use more original ideas, instead of recycling the same sounds over and over as some modern producers do (and I will admit to liking some of them still). I just think that trance does need some mainstream attention, especially from those who listen to a lot of hip hop, pop and rock music. One idea would be to implement more live instruments and have a more organic feel to it, as in more bands like Faithless (they were pretty successful with their live acts, even though they aren't all trance). More trance artists releasing full length albums would help, not just big name DJs like Tiesto, Armin or Ferry Corsten. More CD singles released for the masses, more radio play, more reconginition in the US...and some more vocal orientated stuff (not the chessy shit that is played on Top 40 radio). More people i've met prefer vocal music to instrumental, even though I personally prefer instrumental (but like vocal as well....).

Yeah I love Trance with live instruments, esepcially guitars. I love Mark Otten's stuff, and some other trance artists that use guitars. I really enjoy Chicane's stuff too, I have no idea what happened to Chicane though....it's been 5 years since his last album and only two new singles (Love On The Run...that I think sucked) and Daylight, whom i've only heard the ATB Remix of...and it was a little bit better than Love On The Run but was a remix so I dunno how the original sounds. I have no idea when or if his new album is gonna be released.....

I like the idea of making it so that the production's focus was towards the set and not just a single, kinda like techno. Dutch trance would be outlawed, especially if it has a breakdown of any kind. Dutch producers should loose any privilidges of breakdowns. Progressive trance would be more progressive, and by progressive, I mean that the track actually progresses, just like back in the day. Nothing produced would have any resemblance to the shit being produced today, how can people listen to trance today? So uninspiring.

I like the idea of Dutch producers quitting At least the epic and mcprog ones, nothing even half decent has come out of their Reason copies anyway.

As much as I have abandoned listening to trance in the past few years, steering it more towards the sound of early Hook and Platipus releases would definitely get me interested again.

My take on... (various mixes planned, updated when I can be arsed)

I would implement the original ideas of trance. to make it hallucinating tracks whith basic tribal elements. such as the old Dance 2 Trance tunes.
If you listen to trance today one would wonder how a pop tune can be called trance. A trance tune is supposed to put you in a higher state of concioussness and awaken your spirituality and open your mind.

I would also prevent the closing of Eye Q Records.

I cant understand why people want trance to be more commercial. It was never intended to be commercial. The music will not become better because its more commercial. Just because more people listen to it doesnt make it automaticly better.
I recall DJ Taucher saying in an interview a couple of years ago that he never wanted to make a radio edit because that would kill the idea of trance music. A 10 min long journey CANNOT be recovered in a 3 min edit.

yeah and I would also wish that Sasha never started his sleepy prog/electro shit and stayed progressive trance.

Why don't you want people to listen to stuff you like? Why is it bad for good trance to go mainstreme?
