There were builds and drum rolls. I've listened to some of the older stuff from Cosmic Baby, Visions of Shiva, Age Of Love, Art of Trance, Cygnus X and Dance2Trance. The biggest difference, was their more repetitive nature, the build ups were MUCH longer and more effects were added to give the tracks a hypnotic feel. But they still had breakdowns (not quite as dramatic or long, a bit spacier) and build ups and melodies. Those who say the older stuff did not have breakdowns are misleading themselves. They just weren't as long, and not every track in a DJ set used them. Longer build ups, shorter breakdowns were more common in the older style.
Cosmic Baby - The Space Track
This is a classic trance track from 1992 by Cosmic Baby. To me, it doesn't sound that different from the later stuff, just more hypnotic effects with a spacier breakdown (listen to it at 2:11 into the track). Essentially..it's early progressive, melodic trance that is slower and less dramatic than epic has become over the years. |
Wow, thank you for your thorough posts, I appreciate it.
Well, I listened to the song you posted. I totally remember that song from back in the days! I didn't recognize the song untill around the 2:30 minute mark. I used the like that track a lot! I thought the begining was too fast paced though. But I used to listen to this style years ago!
About Joof, I respect him a lot as a DJ for the fact that he hasn't gone main stream, but I'm not really into his sound. I'm not a big psy-trance fan. It's a little too fast paced for me.
Do you suggest anything a little more proggy with melodic elements to it? I'm trying to think of some dj's that are good... for example Holden used to play a lot of minimal tracks with melodic elemets to it... actually, it's hard to even categorize Holden's style, but you know what I mean.

i disagree, by setting the cutoff at 10+ rather than 8 you're missing some quality acid trance. :D |

Actually, 15 years ago > 10+ years ago > 8 years ago > 5 years ago
MFS, Harthouse and Suck Me Plasma released some of their best records in 1992. 1993 was also a very good year |

| Trance 5 years ago was just as cheesy as it is now....Ferry Corsten, Tiesto etc were quite big 5 years ago too...so I'm wondering what you are on about. |
