We have been wrestling with this one on another forum, and as you guys are in the 'IN' crowd wanted to know your thoughts as I am hearing more 'house' type records commercially every day and not much trance - is trance leaving us?

People will say yes, others will say no, then many will simply make crap jokes about how often this thread is repeated. End product? You'll still have to make up your own mind.

Sushi sadly left us, I am afraid you are next.

in terms of popularity; no. in terms of quality; yes. in the end its mostly subjective but you cant deny the decline in quality when you compare it to the 90's stuff.

I'd disagree. We have a discussion going on in AuTA somewhat similar to this, and it is obvious that in every city in Australia that trance is becoming less popular amongst the general everyday clubbing crowd and house is growing. There are less trance nights in favour for house nights, clubs are turning promoters away because they know they can get bigger crowds with house nights, and there are less viable trance nights due to reducing crowds.

Is trance dying? Probably not.
Is it becoming less popular? I'd say from my observations/experiences yes.
Is this going to lead to the 'second coming' that so many people seem to hope for (less commerciality, higher production quality etc)? God knows
