I thought this thread would be more about great tracks from other genres that took you away from the trance scene :confused:
So, on that note....
Kate Bush vs. Infusion - Running up That Hill
Iio - Rapture (John Creamer & Stephane K Remix)
Junior Jack - Stupid Disco
.....Off the top of my head, there are loads more.
:D |

This and oh so many other ones from the same genre is pretty much what made me stop listening to trance.
So yeah, discovering commercial house is what did it for me.
Also the stuff that Westbam played around 00-02 got me into techno, and thus pushed me further away from tränz.
And ofcourse some godawful trance tracks that I don't even want to remember right now. :p |

It doesn't really work that way. If the music remains good, then you'll still continue to enjoy it while you're discovering something else in the process. I sure as hell never gave up listening to electronic music when I became a hopeless Neil Young fanboy.
And I'm sure there are plenty here that still find some enjoyment out of trance, just not to the same degree as before. Judging from this thread, it's because the kind of trance that got heavily promoted at all the major outlets (events, CDs & records, radio shows, etc.) turned them away from the genre. If the music continues to disappoint, why bother to dedicate your attention towards it as much? |

Well that's entirely subjective.
This thread is about tracks that brought you away from trance, no particular trance track put me off the genre. It was the discovery of other genres and my evolving taste which led me to divert from it. |

ASOT was good - the EARLY series, up until it hit about 200 or so. Those were the good days.
Where did sets like this one go???

I'll +1 this. It was shortly after 200 or so when I began to get really turned off by the stuff they were playing. |

And look, though the cover features his face, it's at least modified, rather than a perfect pretty boy smiling picture.
I just checked, and I can't even give red line highway a listen, I must've deleted it years ago. It must've been pretty bad as solar stone were my trance gods back then.
I can't think of any particular trance tracks that did it for me. I found a couple tracks by junior jack, dave guetta, axwell, and made my first burnt edm cd that wasn't trance. Around this time though Solarstone, Steve Helstrip, Chicane, who I loved weren't doing anything worth noticing, and still haven't. |

| Generic tunes always sounding the same. TRANCE IS DEAD at the moment. Hope for some new approaches in the future. |

| I was turned off by the vapidity of the genre... the endless remixing of anything catchy, the use of film scores (Braveheart), the shallow emotional quality of mainstream trance music... so I moved away from it in 1999 or so, tired of all those forced moments at parties where yet another mega-long-super-crazy breakdown landed to get all the E-tards rushing again. I turned to psytrance--which is NOT simply a sub-genre of what TAs call "trance" but a distinct countercultural movement with its own history and customs. Been there ever since. |
