1993 was the first big year of Trance. It emerged as a genre around 1991/1992 with stuff like Dance2Trance-releases on the Adam & Eve inprint and Age of Love - Age Of Love (there are shitloads of trance tracks made before 1993). And no, it wasn't goa-trance. I would think that anybody that was actually around and active in the rave scene at this time would agree.
To say Bells (which is a legendary kick-ass techno track btw) was released before trance is just plain wrong.

I read some of this thread... and Im gonna throw something in here that I learned in my Anthro class. In the EDM we have lumpers & splitters... lumpers being those people that put edm music into major genres (trance, techno, house, etc.. ), and the splitters being those that take the new style of the genre and labeling it something else (i.e. tech-trance). Some of us find it easier to categorize like this, some of us think its just trance - its all about what you want to consider it. If you were to take a pvd song like... oh i dunno... connected, and replaced the original kicks, with a tribal kick (it would probably sound horrid, but just as an example) people would consider it tech-trance.

With regards when trance started, I'd say 1988- 16 years ago. It was certainly when the term trance was invented with regards to music- the KLF called their earliest releases Pure Trance Originals, before they remixed them into stadium house or whatever and had massive hits from them.
As for tech-trance, surely it exists. Techno with trancy elements or trance with techno elements. One track that firmly bridges the gap between techno and trance is Mauro Picotto- Pulsar (Picotto Verdi Mix). Try telling me that has nothing to do with techno or trance.
