Deep house is more trance than trance itself

used to be at one point
that point ended abruptly in 2002 somewhere
since then, a huge influx of amateur uneducated producers have overtaken the scene and turned it to dog crap, just like hip hop

Well, in a way it's true , especially for epic trance. It has these chord changes and arpeggios that naturally cause these emotional reactions. It's definitely the most melodic of all EDM (and i say EDM not Electronic Music in general such as Ambient or IDM )Nowadays though, this thing is completely done in an autonatic/robotic way and therefore most of todays trance is usually"trance by numbers"(or VST-preset trance call it what you want).In most of the times there is no true musical-emotional expression it's just the machines doing it.There are still some good emotional tunes now and then though. E.g. i recently enjoyed Mike Shiver's morning drive even if the sounds it uses are extremely over-played.

Originally posted by Spirit5 One of the reasons i've been so into trance over the years is that it is more emotional than some other forms of EDM. It does have a tendency to over-do it sometimes, but there is no denying that some of the most emotional releases have come from the trance side of things, as well as the progressive house as well. A few emotional tracks to check out.... Hydra - Affinity (Thrillseekers Dub) Corderoy - Sweetest Dreams (Ferry Corsten Remix) Mark Otten - Mushroom Therapy (Lightscape Mix), Crossroads (Rio Addicts) Kalafut & Fygle - 3579 KM, Lullaby, Astra, Novocaine (Mark Otten Remix) Accadia - Blind Visions (Original Club Mix) and (Ambient Mix) Tastexperience - Summersault Hooligan - Hear You Now (Grand Chillas Mix) (more prog than trance, but very emotional) Illuminatus - Hope (a classic) Humate - Love Simulation (Oliver Lieb Remix) Envio - Touched By The Sun, Time To Say Goodbye, For You Digital Witchcraft - Fingerpaint (prog breaks, but a very melodic, emotional piano melody) Chicane - Leaving Town, Halcyon, No Ordinary Morning, Early, Micro de Govia - Vital Spark, Aura Indigo, Voller Sterne, Dayturn Saltwater (Thrillseekers Ambient Mix) Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Atlantis Mix) and (Armin van Buuren Remix) (of course....probably the ultimate emotional track IMO) a bunch of others....but these are what I think...when I think "Emotional"....almost like trance-mood music.

Thank you for sharing your emotional track.My fav em track is Mark Otten - Tranquility (original mix). Mark otten rocks

When i'm feeling a bit down, and i listen to trance, it makes the feeling stronger (depends on what tracks you're listening too of course) When i'm feeling happy (right now actually , i get a euphoric feeling, making the happiness even bigger. Does anyone agree/has experience with this kinda thing?

I get this too, sometimes even with House music.

It doesn't always work that way.

i partially agree with this. productions nowadays actually sound much better. better sound effects, percussion, cleaner sounds, pretty much well-produced. i think a major problem nowadays is that many of these up-coming producers understand the production aspect of music, but really have no musical background or understanding of theory. now some people might disagree and say you don't need any of that, but i honestly feel that is what's lacking in so many productions nowadays. i've read through several threads on ta, where our own producers who write some well-produced tracks, admit to their lack of theory and music backgrounds and you can clearly hear it in their tracks.
