i dunno if there is a 'best' style. hehe. they're all really good and unique in there own way. each country is renowned for their trance stylez. so i pick all 3. hehehe. but i have been listening to more german and netherlands trance these days. the prog i listen to is more uk tho.

I'm into really uplifting stuff, so its out of Dutch or English for my favourite, but Germans got it's merits

it all depends on what you think is UK Trance, and what is Dutch trance, and German Trance

to me:

German Trance: the Banging trance
Dutch Trance: Uplifting
UK Trance: Progressive and garage

I like the German and Dutch Trance the best

I didn't know Garage was Trance!

There was a time when I, like Blik, thought that UK trance was mostly about prog/garage. Being an epic-uplifting fan myself, I went exclusively for Dutch and German trance.

But I recently discovered how wrong I was. What about Sunscreem, for example? Songs like "Exodus" and "Please save me" are spectacular. And K90? I really like K90's epic synths combined with a driving, pulsating bassline. Finally, I just got a record called Hypnotic State - Empathy (UK artists), which is extremely powerful and epic.

I would say these UK artists produce top-quality melodic trance, and I probably left out many others.

Eugene is spot on, there are many brilliant UK trance producers who dont get much recognition, and others who do but most dont think they are British, such as Above & Beyond, Michael Woods (?), Lange, Agnelli & Nelson, Coast 2 Coast to name just a few. So its not just about prog in the UK. As for my fav, i love all types, German for harder edged trance, Dutch for the uplifting and epic and the UK for a bit of a mixture.

Peace

Ok I see now there are somes

nice one ravemonkey. that's a good way of putting it. same goes for me. every country has awesome artists that produce a variety of genres. so it's hard to say that this country is 'this' kind of trance i guess. unless you're referring to the dominant 'sound' of that country.

I also agree that each of those countries have many artists that product different types of trance, but considering the dominant sound in each country, I would say I'm a fan of Dutch music because a lot of uplifting stuff I do hear seem to come from the Dutch artists.
