Ever have an epiphany and realize you really like a genre that you generally avoid?

I took all my CDs out of my car, and forgot to put them back in. I was going crazy listening to the radio, when I found a lone CD tucked away in the side door compartment. It was a burned CD that some other TA had mixed together. I recognized it as hard trance and scoffed, but anything was better than the radio.
As the CD goes on, I keep turning up the volume, then all of a sudden I realize that I'm rocking out to Hazard - James Brown Is Dead (Gary D Deadly Hard Bass mix), and not only that, I liked it! So thanks DJ Dawn. I forgot how fun hard trance is when your driving in your car. |

| That's a wonderful story. For sure, sometimes I find that if there's not a name attached to something, I'll listen to it differently. But I'm pretty open-minded on the whole. :) I like that word, "epiphany". |

| Hard trance rocks, even though a lot of people actually mistake it for hard house. |

| Now, that makes me wonder about hard trance-house, or hard tech-house, or even hard tech-trance! LOL |

| Well i've said this before but about a month ago I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed DJ Dan's "In Stereo" which I had for 2 years and never listened to because when I bought it (basically because it said "DJ" something),I skimmed through the cd and decided that it was crap, while I pounded Ray Munns' "Ray's House" instead. Now I know better. Pretty much the same thing happened with Keoki's "ego-trip" which I bought at the same time as "In Stereo". I'm surprised that those 2 cd's even work now with all the neglect they've had in the past two years. Hell i'd say they're the most unique and interesting cd's I own today. |

| well, it's funny that you mention this since I generally avoid house music, but lately I've realized that I actually don't mind funky French house every so often! |

| Yeah! I used to avoid hard house and hard trance until one day that I got invited to a party where they were playing hard house and hard trance and nowdays I really like it! :D |

| While we're all making intimate confessions, I might as well say I detested most minimal, techy things -- turns out I was listening to a lot of derivatives and got the goods from the often-copied roots of the likes of Richie Hawtin and Jeff Mills, as well as some of the more punctual, melodic earlier Detroit stuff and that gave me a better view of the whole picture. |
