my thoughts exactly. but hey, i can post all sorts of different hues. thats the easiest things to change once the main parts are done. maybe i should bring one of the labels out more, like either progressive, house/breaks, or ta trance alliance in a more prominent color...

As far as I know, they are kinda mutually exclusive. Trance anthems... big uplifting, hands in the air . Dark trance, well that can be anything but hands in the air. Psy, goa, progressive can be dark, but dark uplifting anthems?!?

That dosent mean it can't be done =) And I'd love to hear someone take a shot at it. You would be the man if you can pull it off. Anyway, genre classification is teh gayest. ;) Go forth...

I've always gotten the impression that anthem trance doesn't have to be uplifting per se, but there is a large melodic part at some point. With that mentality, one can see how I could imagine goa or somesuch with an anthem as long as it wasn't quite so uplifting. Even Mahadeva has that memorable staccato line.

That said, the stuff I've made that confuses me certainly has anthems, but it all has this bizzare "otherness," as opposed to "upliftingness," that I can't really place. I just know that the spot that that otherness lands in will be anthem or dark trance.

But yeh, I agree that genre classification can get a little pointless at times, especially when it's really all about enjoying the music. :toocool:

[edit] Oh, and Xeno, my trance production handle is just jex. The Thoughtless part of it is my glitch/noisecore handle. I just added it because jex is too short for a screenname on these forums.[/edit]

Yeah, I see what you mean. I wouldn't really all astral projection 'Dark' though. Mahadeva is definately melodic with a huge buildup but I've never really though of any goa tracks as anthems before. Actually I seem to see anthemic trance as something that has huge popularity more than anything else. I would call Cloudwalking or Tiestos mix of Silence fairly anthemic. A lot of rave style trance seems to smack of that anthem feeling too. Yeah, its a tricky one, thats for sure.

Ha, well you'll have to post something up for us to have a listen to. Maybe we can hone in on this "otherness" !?!

I'd be interested! Melodic / uplifting trance.

Well, the three that come to mind most easily are Xanadu, Sheet of White and The Starlight was Overwhelming, and I've posted all three already. I'll PM you the links if you'd like.
