i never said it was "any less worthy of people listening to" (mostly because my english works good)
i said it's formulaic, and 9 times out of 10 there's something wrong with trance PURISTS. i love dnb, but i can listen to trance, mind you, i can't listen to ANTHEM trance because it's all the same, just like i can't listen to fucking jump-up (aphrodite, mickey finn, etc.) it's all the fucking same, all sped up hip-hop, with a catchy off-beat bassline. some tracks are good because of the nostalgic value, but that's about where it ends. and music isn't formulaic, music genres, and subgenres, are formulaic because they are groupings of music based on the way they sound, or their formula, if you like. it just so happens that trance seems to be the most formulaic subgenre of electronic music. that's because it's so easy to proudce that any 15 year old rav0r that has a computer, a half decent sound card, a keyboard and wants to be hardcore can go out an make a trance track, and just like every other 15 year old hardcore rav0r before them, it'll probably sound just like anthem trance, because that's what most 15 year old rav0rs listen to at parties. people like paul oakenfold are riding this trend, and putting a bigger, older name on tracks that might as well have been made by your 15 year old rav0r neighbor. (just like when 15 year old junglists think they're going to be DnB DJ's and go out and buy all the aphrodite, AK1200 and "whitelabel" congo natty) then again, there's always that 1 in 10 trance purist that is actually kinda chillin', maybe that's you, who knows. as for you, guice: yes, breaks are the shit, considering anything with a 4/4 syncopated beat is breaks. therefore jungle, hip-hop, funky breaks, IDM, oldskool, ravecore, ghetto tech, booty breaks.... = "tha shit." |
