Not at all. All Im suggesting is that its not a good look when newbies come onto message boards and everyones talking about how dead trance is. They then go and read all the posts in the House and Breaks forums and get a better vibe so go with that.
The thing is trance isnt dead. Its just not popular in mainstream clubs anymore and trying to argue it back into popularity will have the opposite effect - If you have to try and convince people that something is cool...then it probably isnt. |

I disagree. I think if anyone comes on to these forums and sees 'trance is dead, it was waaaay better in x year', they might look up the old stuff and realise that trance used to be insanely excellent, and hang out like me for the time when trance will be good again! I believe that for alot of people, if they think the ASOT etc stuff is all there is to trance, they might just walk away from pursuing an interest in trance.
I only heard my first trance set in late 2002 and I most certainly do not call myself a 'tranceaddict' cos of anything put out since then, it's definitley the old skool stuff that has me hooked on trance. |

To me, trance has lost its underground appeal and hence its roots. There was a time when it was about proudly getting ed off your face and engaging in an alternative movement. Now its all about packing out an uber club, signing massif ch00ns to your label and gaining status as a DJ/producer. Also, generally the music isnt as experimental as it once was and the cuture just seems to be getting more mainstream.
Cry's of "get rid of the drugs, get in more titties and booze" only serve to re-enforce this.
The gap will widen I think until you'll have manstream club trance which will be closer towards house and the more underground stuff which will be closer towards psy/techno. Generally the more experimental trance is already signed under psyprog labels anyway, so I think its already there, but the devolution of trance into a form of house has got some way to go. |

I'm tipping that Jules might sound suspiciously like Steve Strangis at 1.30 in the main room ;) |
