yeah but that's like saying stuff from ferry/armin/etc shouldn't be called trance. times have moved on

true... best description i guess. just that advanced doesn't really sound like most tracks commonly classed as techtrance nowadays, asking for TT recommendations probably won't get you many tracks sounding like it
and i'd say traffic is to techtrance what sandstorm was to epic/uplifting trance... about as simplified and commercialised as you can get it without it crossing completely into the pop territory... imo that is. |

| all these subgenres just plain confuse me. sometimes I have a hard enough time deciding whether something is house or trance, let alone sub-categorizing the out of it. |

Tracks these days are way too hard to categorize. So many songs just use elements from multiple genres.
I give up, it's all just EDM to me :p |

It's really confusing if you start to pigeonhole everything. I try to think of 'genres' as adjectives describing how the track sounds and feels. All trance is trance but there's the uplifting kind, the dark kind, the 'psy' kind, and techno is just a flavor. |

Nice display of open-mindedness there.

I just don't even bother mentioning genres unless it's someone who doesn't know anything about the music. When I mention any type of genre on here half the time I get elitest remarks about how it's the furthest thing from genre X and it starts a flame war. |

cheers for the samples :) preach mix of papel rocks! was sure i put it in my list but evidently not. i like the sound of most of the others.. infact all barring the 2nd one; will have to look into them (what's the full name of the last clip?)
i know you expressed distaste for fred baker but can't help feeling his new tune 'the jungle' (with greg nash) has a similar feel to some of those... driving, hypnotic & atmospheric. sample. i'm not normally a fan of his material but still... i can't quite see how the samples you posted should be called techtrance & that shouldn't... though feel free to set me right :p |
