READ : 'alternative' people's opinion in belgium towards trance music
hey 
Here's someone's opinion about trance, i don't know where it comes from, but this could easily be one of belgium's alterntive community saying his opinion about trance music, sadly enough & i hate it... (not that they have their own opinion, but just their attitude) :
| quote: |
The trance that i hear (and this may well be untipical of the genre) is on the whole extremely twee music its fast and forcefull but it never seems to know where its going, its often very polished music theres no glitches or dirt etc, that kind of removes the sound i hear from a living thing. When i listen to trance music i cannot imagine anyone actually making the thing that i hear.
i hear no agression, anger or negative feelings on the whole in this kind of music and on the other side there seems to be no real positive feelings ,it seems to be aiming to create a kind of mindless euphoria in the listener, at the end of the day i think the majority of trance is like the world add people would like us to believe we live in and is ultimatly empty of substance and uses cliches, production technology and complexity to compensate for this lack of content.
i have heard a few trance tracks i like but on the whole thats what the music makes me think when i hear it, sorry...

well i think he's putting it too generally... personally i haven't heard any music genre better to me than trance. but if someone generalises trance like that i think that person could be a bit arrogant to say so 
there are ALOT of people that like trance and do feel touched by it and tell emotions coming from it. see such is life by Rank 1, which was played at a funeral so ive heard one time. Then the sound of goodbye by armin's perpetuous dreamer gives away alot of emotion as well : powerful vocals, somewhat tragic & dramatic and a good lead that goes by it.
but then there are alot of other people who don't like trance at all, but like metal, rock, rap, r&b or other sorts of music. i do like other sorts of music, i listen to rock & pop alot every now and then. but in my area, and i think it's somewhat typical for the belgian alternative community; there is alot of rescentment towards trance... people that are into other genres immediately place it as BAD/RUBBISH/'NOISE', while metal isn't short of just 'noise' either. sometimes i'm starting to think they're afraid... afraid that trance will eventually make up for whole the music scene since it's still growing and growing WORD!
but then again... i'd really love some mutual respect towards all kinds of music, especially from those people since i have nothing against the other sorts of music. where would it lead us elsewhere?
well, that's my opinion about it, i've made some topics about this before, but it's true... sadly enough 
take care!
