I disagree. While there are some things that are nearly universally appealing to western ears (eg basic ET chromatic scale stuff, or 70-160BPM) for mathematical or biological reasons, within those very broad boundaries its pretty subjective stuff. So what's art and what's not? Clearly not something we're going to agree on here - its an age-old argument across every artform. I mean, for sure there is crap dance music and good dance music, but does it take more talent to make belfunk than it does to make 'jump the next train' or 'as the rush comes'? I'd argue that the answer isn't neccesarily a given.
herein lies the problem - most of us would agree that the most commerical tracks are not the best artistically, and in fact there's almost an inverse relationship. in terms of commercial success, cheeseball vocal trance is to 'good' progressive what beethoven is to banging on pots and pans (or at least its nearest counterpart, Einstürzende Neubauten) :P.
So yeah. Not trying to wind people up - just thinking that we like what we like for a variety of reasons, and quite often we can't help it anyways.

never really a fan of vocals... 'skydive' and 'tears from the moon' and delerium tracks are notable exceptions... :toocool:
<3 samples though... 'she rides', 'the prophet', 'in your eyes'...

BT & Chicane are probably the best and most consistend proponents of vocals in trance that i have heard.
I am really loving Middle Eastern sounds in trance at the moment as well, and the haunting vocals are quite unique.
Examples:
Art of Trance vs POB - Turkish Bizarre
Ofra Haza - Love Song |

im lovign the articulation.... and all relevant.. there are just too many jaded knobends around who hate all stuff.. however there are prolly too many knobends like myself who's tastes may not be as diserning.. Either way... as long as people keep buying records it keeps our scene floating around..
maybe some people *looking at jizza* are too 'cool' to singalong to tunes in a packed out club....
THERES NOTHIGN WRONG WITH THAT I TELL YOU! |
