Well, it's authentically rumoured to have been said in ancient Indian scripture, that if you meditate in a desert while listening to authentic trance in the lotus position, you should be able to conjure up a camel which in turn will conjure up a gift of authentic tiramisu.
I've tried it... got to the camel, but it only conjured dung. Perhaps I was listening to Dubstep, being passed off as authentic trance.

Ok... but isn't there a way to somehow cheat the damn camel and instead of giving it authentic trance give it authentic (insert random entity) something else? I mean a portion of authentic tiramisu would be great without having to search for authentic trance, which, thinking of how rare it is nowadays, it would possibly result in a life-time without authentic tiramisu!(This would explain why you didn't get the tiramisu as well)

No, its because todays trance producers strictly obey the classical economical rule minimum loss/maximum gain. Since todays people are easy to please, trance producers enjoy maximum gain (signs, dj gigs...) by putting minimum effort, and they rather seem to feel fine about it. Plus they don't seem to be the type of people who do it for the "sake of doing it" but rather for the indirect rewards of doing it... |

I tried giving the camel authentic objectivity, but turns out he's a member of TA, and a certified cynic. He did gaurantee that the dung, subsequently produced was authentic crap resulting from the forced listening to un-authentic trance not-so-cunningly disguised as authentic {random entity}.

I find it difficult to believe most producers would subscribe purely to an economic model, especially the new-breed of producer talent that's out there in the middle distance. I saw it happen to heavy metal in the late 80's too... the creativity just seemed to go out of it. People were just getting tired of manufactured pretty boy bands, and then Nirvana exploded globally with a completely different sound.
I still think that limiting yourself to whatever you may consider encapsulates / includes "trance", limits your ability to create new frontiers for the sound.
P.S. rewards are great... especially if it's authentic tiramisu |

There's a genre based pay scale now? How much do producers who make authentic Mongolian tribal music get paid then? |

| Personally, house music puts me in more of a 'trance state' rather than trance music itself.:conf: i dunno:toocool: |

House works for me too, but i'd hate ever restricting myself to any one genre.... even if it was house. Dunno why so many others do.
