I'd also check out Afternova - Serenity, which I put a link up to on page 4, if you didn't check out any of the links I posted. That has less of that airy polished trance sound I know you don't like.

both melodies been done before. Let me find you the links. And like I said, the synth sounds and production style, all derivative of the alphazone school. Thats why they suck. And what with the ing camel music.
owien
lol they dont make em like this anymore

I posted the wrong URL before, Nakhti isn't anything special. Edited in the other one.

again same production style, synths everything that they were doing in 2003. Are you deaf ? Intact it is almost like the production got worse. Not better. Imean compare that to this
Musically the genre is still doing interesting things. I'd be curious to hear whatever Serenity ripped off of and I've never come across anything like Tuvan.
Production-wise, yeah, the genre is stale but it's not really a genre that encourages experimentation. If that's where your problem is, that's fine, I can't argue with that. There's still very obvious differences between producers however and what I'm trying to prove is that musically it's going places older melodic trance didn't go. I haven't heard a single breakdown in a track from that period that had the depth some modern trance has nowadays, and the sheer difference from Afternova to Blueman proves not all of it sounds the same. They might use similar production techniques or synth choices but there's not a whole lot you can do with this style of trance anyway. But like I said, if all of your problems stem from that then I might have misunderstood some of the stuff you said earlier.

that is exactly the problem. They are doing what was done years ago with very few innovations. I would like to hear one person that was around during the time I speak of and disagree that the melodic trance now is anything but derivative . It basically what they were doing, + sidechain and - interesting melody. Thats it
Finally, a good example! one of my favorites:tongue2

I wouldn't disagree with anything you were saying if you weren't trotting around acting like the way you feel about the modern trance scene is reflective of how everyone should see it, and anyone who enjoys it is doing something wrong on some level or another.
Must be comfortable living believing your opinions about something as subjective as music actually hold up as facts.

You know, guys. I'm really trying to listen to both sides of this debate, but the tracks you're selecting just aren't cutting it.
The stuff you guys are arguing about is tedious. If I hear another bouncing diad riff or eight bars of the same major chord progression, one more time, I'm going to have to stick ice-picks in both ears.

poor kyrosa been made to prove why he loves his pet sound by mfb
