trance and raves

can anyone refer me to a good source to see where the history of raves and trance intersects? sometimes it seems like raves are happy hardcore-centered, other times it seems like they're about jungle... but i'm not quite sure about trance. i've been to a rave-ish trance event, but i'd like to know the history and the current state of affairs.

thanks!

I think trance is more club based than rave.. Or festivals.

It looks like you want more information than the internet can really give. buy a book all about it!!

Look for the history of Techno, not Trance. In the beginning everything was just "Techno" - even what we call Trance today was called Techno in the beginning of the 90s.
