according to some history book my friend found
The ultimate hybrid of slick Techno, Ambience and House was Trance, a form responsible for the re-explosion of global club culture as the twentieth century drew to a close. Put simply, Trance was an ultra smooth computer-generated music which reveled in repetition. Synthesizer and keyboard apreggios were repeated, rising in pitch until an entire track seemed to explode in a nirvana of snare drum rolls and crecendos. Its tendency to octave- leap and pitch-shift emerged from highly sophisticated sequencing software. Its penchant for four-on-the-floor beat pulsations, slight instrumental and vocal decoration, mammoth drum breaks, rising suspense and seamless mixes made it a huge global phenomenon by 1999. Primarily a German creation (ATBʼs ʽ9pm (Till I Come)ʼ sold one million copies in the UK alone), Trance had enormous input from UK Djs like Paul Oakenfold and European labels like Belgiumʼs R&S. In a nutshell Trance was responsible for the rebirth of House and the ideal of one long trip through the subtleties of electronic dance music.
The unfolding of Trance can be traced from the Hi-NRG New York dance scene of the late 1970ʼs and early 80ʼs, through the German Progressive House outcrop of the early 1990ʼs and the UKʼs Goa Trance/Epic House offshoots of the mid-1990ʼs to the neo-psychadelic sensation of Euro Trance in the Late 1990ʼs. |

| Descriptively unhelpful and factually innaccurate. I know for a fact that 9pm did not sell a million copies in the UK. Additionally trance being responsible for "the rebirth of house" sounds like utter unfounded bull to me, and somebody tell me a few German artists making progressive house in the early 90s. |
