I know this has been discussed/contended rigorously on chatrooms, forums, privatemessages and even real life, but I want to get the low down..
What's causing songs, which come out on an daily basis, to sound like complete commercial garbagiola? Why do they taste so bland and emotionless, afterall: music is the expression of emotion. I want to keep this short and strictly to the point without making myself look cool by using big words.
Could it be, that around the time when the new millenium rolled around, and when trance was spreading, fresh producers took interest and composed their music based off previous songs (in order to be accepted)? That could explain why most trance sounds the same today, and all kicks/claps have to be within a certain likeliness.
I mean, there are tunes that make you feel good inside, but I don't know if you heard Phynn's Lucid, but that thing is original. Compared to the emotionless filler trance out there now, this actually tells you a story in itself, an impliment the dj can use to convey his feelings. The synth work is different, the melody, all of it just makes you feel refreshed!
What happened to the creativity we once could express.. creativity like 'Way Out West - Activity'?
anyways, I have my flame-resistant suit on, all comments are welcome. I want the answer |

| Thank you for your answer, but can you elaborate why? I'm starting off as a producer/dj and I noticed the problem because I myself made sure my kicks and claps were like existing trance in the scene now. |

| There was alot more sophistication in trance in the years 98-02 and stand out melodic leads were usually the main highlight of a great trance song back then. 2003 was when everything got into the "rut" you are describing however I don't think the change is bad at all. It is different but it is still magical and full of emotion. |
