now why the hell would someone not want to share the feeling we get from trance w/ everyone in the world
what kind of ed up selfish thinking is that?
you get a special feeling knowing that others are missing out? really cause that actually makes me sad. i wish some people were open minded enough to give trance a try so that they could get that feeling.
the special feeling i get doesnt come from the fact that other people dont get it.. it comes from the emotion in the music
and the music makes me want to share that feeling. |

| I know i turned some of my friends into trance-lovers just by playin some tunes for them, but don't think that anyone who has a chance will become a trance-lover. yes i know, it's hard to get but some people just don't like trance :) so don't think that people who doesn't listen to trance is just because they don't know the genre... |

| ok, first of all, someone said sandstorm was pop. like, wtf?! where the hell u get that from? sandstorm is trance bro... sorry if youre living in denial, but it is trance, and if mtv starts playing, it does not automatically change its status... second, someone also said they would stop listenin to trance if it became mainstream? then dude, youre into trance for the wrong reasons, theres a load of ppl who listen to trance/house cuz they think it will make them cool instantly, ya right... |

no, ravemonkey, you're absolutely right. that's how it is here in vancouver... so hurting, even people who supposedly are "party kids", hardcore ravers, think they know what trance is but will still refer to it as a techno sound. or "all that techno stuff"
and these are the people who are like "Yeah i like tiesto, but trance was popular (cool to listen to) 2 years ago, who is he again?" well thats just ing great, dumbasses.
they know their hard house and their deep house (thats clubbers) but they think trance is all cheesy synths and riffs, or god forbid, "techno."
blecchhhhhhh. |

| Well, MTV didnt push trance into the states.. trance, at least here in Miami has been pushed by the DJ's, and have to admit the local radio station ( have to give props to it, since thanx to my local radio, I was able to get into the scene ) and well... if MTV does get the trance, I only want it in order to see some TRANCE videos, and stop d/loading them.. plus.. I hope they follow what MTV europe is doing, they do some dope stuff overseas.. go live on IBIZA, club tunes been played, and heaving Judge Jules and PVD spinning live ?!?! well... MTV has to get at least a clubbers DANCE music channel or something.. and since we mostly hate MTV here, well, I hope to see some dedicated DANCE video music channel.. but since we are in the USA, this is all monopoly.. so this wont happen, MTV is the only f*cking channel that can bring to my home trance videos.. if that ever happens.. so i wont complain... and guys, stop talking that MTV is all for the money.. EVERYSINGLE thing in the USA is done for the money.. so does the PRESIDENT!! |

MTV Europe is probably very samiliar to yours, they really don't play many house/dance (not even mentioning trance), they used to play some alice deejay/darude but they stopped that either, all you can hear right now is all the US-Crapy-Pop...
and btw they make a commercial break every 8-10 minutes for 5 minutes... |

I think a few of you need to get your heads out of your arses.
Most of you are winging about commercial music, but you're forgetting that everyone has to start somewhere. I mean how many of you jumped straight from pop music into real electronic music? I know I didn't. It was guys like Culture Beat and Ultrasonic who got me into electronic music - and I mean I look back on like that and cringe these days. But I had to start somewhere, and if it wasn't for guys like this getting airplay for electronic music I doubt very much that I would've been able to find an avenue to get into it.
And you have to remember that in places like the US where electronic music is still in its infancy (even though the yanks will rightly point out that the US is where the electronic music movement originated anyway) guys like Darude etc. are the ones who are going to get an entire generation interested in electronic music. But these guys are just a stepping block: from here you'd hope that they move onto the less 'commercial' artists, but even if they don't, I'd rather have the public listening to Darude than Destiny's Child or Shania Twain.

This just typifies the arrogance that so many people interested in electronic music have: our music isn't an esoteric expression only for people who think they're cool, you shouldn't be listening to trance just because it makes you feel above everyone else, it should be, like someone else pointed out before me, an experience to be shared with as many people as possible. Anyway, would you rather have everyone listening to trance (however commercial it may be) or to acts like N-Sync and the Backstreet Boys? No offence, but you seem like the sort of person would winge either way.
Personally I think that guys like Corsten, AVB, Tiesto et al are commercial, but I don't winge when people talk about them or listen to them, because I understand that it's all relative - there'd be a lot of people who think that the stuff I listen to is commercial - and that music, like I said, isn't something to be made esoteric and known only to the few, that it's something that we should all do our best to experience all types and all genres.
If MTV starts playing commercial trance then hey, it's better than no trance at all right?
(BTW, the Sanctuary mix of Silence was getting club exposure in Melbourne way back in March/April 99, or even earlier, months before it caught on anywhere else, which goes to emphasise my assertion that Melbourne is the club capital of the southern hemisphere.) |
