i can see where she's coming from, i mean most of the people over there who like trance are probably classed as underground.

and they all like PvD which is 4 years behind hehe

4 Years behind.........must be sarcasm. She did say, she enjoys playing here which is a plus. We are loved plain and simple. We are maybe 2-3 months behind because things always get released later in north america. Oh well, her comments don't bother me.

Keep in mind she did mention USA too. And if by "musically" she means dance music then yes, we are a little behind... I guess she just assumes underground dance is the only genre of music.

Anne Savage talks shite... which is probably due to all the charlie she snorts! OK, Canada may not be as up to date as England and such places, but I wouldn't say four years! If any country's musically retarded, it's France. I know this cos I lived there! As far as music is concerned, France is so far behind it's nearly prehistoric! If there is 1 country that I don't like going clubbing in, it's France. I mean come on....Zebda?! Doesn't exactly insipre you or make you wanna throw your hands in the air! I reckon less than 1% of the French population have heard of Trance...let alone ever heard a (decent) trance tune!

Sort it out France! Eiffel 65- Blue is not cool!

lateRZ,

barryfigiel

PS I don't mean to insult any of the French people on these forums... they have obviously found good music or they wouldn't be here!

We're behind but not that far. Most ppl don't know anything about Trance either It's all Rap/Hip Hop.

she means its popularity etc. over here a lot of it is commercialised and/or popular throughout the country, whereas i presume trance clubs and places selling trance music are few and far between in canada and the usa.

I think she was on about the scene itself (rather than the tunes) and she's probably right aint she? I dunno to be honest, never been there.

i dunno about behind, there's just simply no trance scene on the west coast. the average person is highly "anti-trance" because they think its not cool anymore and went out with atb in 99.
yups...

yeah, i hear ya patticus...for some odd reason house is really big 'round here. we seem to be getting alot of house headliners lately.

as for the 4 years behind, does she mean the political and media backlash towards the scene? i know it's alot more accepted in europe but how long ago did they have problems of police harrassment and restrictive bylaws and stuff? is that what she means?

Now first of all who the fuck is Anne Savage and who the fuck she thinks she is?

Although the population in Canada is about 7-8 million, a meagre number compared to the 300 million in the United States, there's no reason for anyone at all to say that we are lagged by 4 fucking years....oh my god!

Considering the world wide web being available to virtually anyone in this technological era we all live in, we are practically without boundaries, not to mention nationality.

Music is spread by forums, advertisements, simple forms of communication by the a person's mouth to another.

Saying that Canada is "behind by 4 years" is totally outrageous to a Torontonian..considering the scene we have here, I would say that we are top-notch alongside with UK and USA.

Trance began to surge really big in Japan last year due to Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Above and Beyond's live appearance...now this statement, for example, is strong enough for any Japanese to flame me.

My point to this all is that either Anne Savage is a cooped-up deadbeat who has been shutting "himself" indoors for the last 4 years and maybe she has been a victim of the Bermuda Triangle...there's no fucking way that we are behind that long..unless she's a DJ who spins 4 years ahead of anyone else in the whole world. There shows to go how discriminating a person can get....

It just pisses me off when some wannabe beat-matcher who talks shit like that.....pure stupidity...full stop!
