Cyberspace, 3D videogames and DJ culture were all part of the same millenium buzz and so the culture I absorbed at an impressionable age was distinctly futurist (not necessarily the same as futuristic).
Trance is both these things - atmospheric melodic futurism. It also has plenty of energy, which attracted me as a teenager and still has a visceral appeal. |
Excellent post.
I share quite a few similarities to how you've described your 'impressionable age' and the influence of the music at that time :) |

I started to like trance because I thought the parties had things like this going on:
I discovered I wasn't too far off either!:p |

| It used to make me feel good and it was really good when I started smoking weed but now it's just too fast for me. I have since gravitated towards slower and more spacious, minimalistic sounds. Ask anybody who knows my tastes and they will tell you that I still love a solid melody, which in my case comes from having listened to trance in the past. I suppose though that I have come to appreciate musical productions which show a certain degree of restraint. Trance is the opposite, because the vast majority of the time it really is all guns blazing. It didn't use to be this way, but unfortunately now it is, and when as a genre it fails to offer me anything new that is of remote interest, I move on, rather than get stuck on the past trying to uncover music I may have missed out on. Most of it would probably sound too fast for me now anyway. |

| Love is such a strong word, I don't think I ever particularily "loved" trance. I liked (and still do, to an extent) listening to it and the sound of it. That's all there really is to it. |

Fits well, except change the panoramic landscape with fjords and a coastline. Especially the "future-culture". |
