"why is it so long?"

"how come there are no lyrics?"

its so repetitive"

blah blah blah..

y'know, i bet if the redio stations played a few good songs, there would be alot more ppl liking trance, and alot less stereotypes about it. and also, ppl bash it, but they havent tried it..

goddammn it !

lemme ask you something...what do you think of progressive? :)

How come even fewer people understand progressive? :conf: :conf: :conf: then again, prog is way harder to understand that trance ever will be (no offence to trance, but thats the truth)...hehe, prog is more "sophisticated" :p

i think it's rather feeling the music that does it for me... i mean, i hear beats and subconsciously i know that something new is going to come on with the next 4 beats... and i anticipate it...

you know how they say that if you don't like classical music, that means you don't understand it and you're not mature enough for it? i just think that's complete bull. for everyone his/her own. every person is different and everyone has their own turn on. mine is trance and not pop or rock.

but you all are right, most americans are stereotyped towards electronica. my sister's boyfriend (well, he's really russian but actually listens to acosta, tiesto, and such) was asking me why there weren't any huge hits this year... caz last year there was darude with sandstorm and the year before that atb with something else...

i don't see that as ignorance, i don't criticize him. i see that as being misinformed, not understanding WHAT the real electronica stuff is. and i emphasize, he DID borrow all of my GU cds (004, 007, 009, 013, 015, 019, 021, 022) and the only ones he really liked was just 007, i think... melodic stuff... he also asked me to made him a cd with some new stuff and i let him preview some tunes before recording and he told me which ones he liked... ALL of them were female vocals...


so the big question would be, WHY? why are some people able to yell "OMFG, this is the best track in my life" when they hear the breakdown of Ligaya, and others say "turn this repetitive crap off"? what makes me 'die' when the screeching and ripping percussions of S.H.O.K.K. come on and others to say that my speakers are broken and they're making some kind of weird noise?


i guess the answers lie much deeper on a psychological/chemical/physical level. what makes us special? maybe some kind of study would reveal a similarity or 2 in us, TAs... maybe it's some kind of a weird DNA configuration or a chromosome thing... who knows???

wow, sorry, i only wanted to post 2 sentences...

so then i guess you're saying that the more philosophical the person is, the more they've experienced the bitterness of life in its glory (as opposed to having a happy and untroubled childhood/teen years) then the more they're into trance?

because i'm very interested in the reasons that i can freely listen to GU022 without ff'ing it or skipping any tracks (and i admit, it didn't really strike me as unusual in the beginning, i even hated it a bit). but now i find that it really grew on me with the 2nd time (i knew it would happen, it happened before).

maybe it's all about being the "MOOD" music?

The best way to get someone into trance is to give them a pill of E and take them to a huge party...

Thats what got me!

i like lots of genres, including prog.

but i just hate it when a dj plays trance and the bass is so hard you almost can't hear any melody and fx.
