80% of the uplifting trance in the last 3 years has been formulated garbage

I'm not opinionated, I'm just expressing my opinion.

You want examples, okay (its not hard).


- Everything Ronski Speed has done since Sun Decade - I'm Alone (apparently the last time he had a spurt of originality)
- Blank and Jones (ever since they put out their Relax album, which had some decent remixes, the new album is horrid)
- DJ Ton TB (ever since he made Carrera 2 things have went undeniably down hill)
- Airbase stuff has never really sounded any different to me
- Signum (Coming on Strong was weak, sounds like everything else played on ASOT)
- Thrillseekers (what has gotten into Steve Helstrip, same with Lange, New Life is synth ridden garbage thats been beaten to death, lets get back to forward thinking stuff like Synasthasia and Open Your Eyes)
- Rank1 has been trash, only heard 1 remix from them and it was bland as ever
- Nu-NRG (what the happened to them!!? they were looking so promising, stuff like Last Experience and End Kiss blew my mind but they went the commercial route and sound like everyone else now!)

Who I think looks good this year (regardless of genre):

- Luke Chable
- Matthew Dekay
- Nathan Fake
- Michael Burns
- Markus Schulz
- Above & Beyond (keeping it original, thank god)
- Scott Bond (his new CD is surprisingly diverse)
- Ozgur Can
- Grayarea
- Perry O'Neil
- Pinkbox Special
- Phil K
- Mark Otten
- Mark Norman (almost on my list, but I have to remember recent productions like Phantom Manor, their mix of Love Comes Again was predicatable tho)
- James Zabiela
- John '00' Flemming (producing some great original darker trance)
- Envio (the only three tracks I've heard from him have been mind blowing)

OFF YOU MOTHER BEFORE I MAKE YOU MY BITCH!!!


now that I got that out of my system...

you have no proof and the sales of uplifting is kicking the sales of whatever you buy of the charts so you cant have anything to eat so go eat yourself for food LOSER

I know it's yer opinion but how about giving some reasons/examples?

I think that theres always been a lot of garbage and it used to be less but thats because of commercialization and there being more and more producers every year out to make money. A lot of uplifting trance sounds similar cuz IMO it's hard to make something that stands out and is different.

I agree, 80% of the last couple years of tracks are garbage. Many tracks over the last couple years have been quality, pure quality.

I dont see why you are posting this without giving examples.

Mark Otten and A&B make distinctive uplifting trance.

So you say 80% of trance is garbage but you listed more producers that you like than producers that you say have gone downhill. As with any genre of music, you're going to have crap that sounds alike and good music that sounds different from the rest...the title of the thread makes it sound like you think trance is going completely to ...it's maybe not as good as it used to be but it's not that bad.
