I agree on that one. It seems most of the trance has lost the massive buildups and climaxes. Since now all trance sounds like 'The White Room' (Which I don't find that special, though, only the most overplayed ASOT tune of the year) Only a nice melody that goes on and on and some female dreamy voice goes 'whaaahaaahaaa' under it. Everybody seems to like that now and put older trance (like Gouryella, System F/Veracocha, Rank 1, Balearic Bill, Binary Finary) down as 'cheese' while IMO that represents the true sound of trance for me. Massive build ups, climaxes to die for, sweeping strings. It reminds me of all the good parties of the old days...., like I got all goosebumps when a trancesong was going to it's climax-fase to burst out in a boombastic melody....
