the frustration continues,first off i`d like to say i fucking love trance with all my heart and soul,i respect the fact u don`t like trance but why do you have to voice a pointless opinion without any reasoning to back it up.that comment is just plain ignorant,the reality is it`s cool to not like trance,i`ve loved it for about 7 yrs. now and just because it`s not the cool thing at the moment i`m not gonna jump ship.there is alot of shit trance out there,but there is also some amazing trance being produced right now,the only problem is there are only a few of us playin it, and because we don`t have the money or resources at this time to do our own shows and put these guys in the prime time slots.vancouver is having to deal with in all reality cheesey trance,with sub par dj`s.it`s a sad fact for many that there are ppl. bashing what we love.i`m not a fan of jungle but i would never say i hate it because i have an open mind and realize that there is, in all likely hood some i would enjoy.

word..the same could be said for alot of genres on this city.

when I first started partying i liked trance,at least I thought i did, but as time has gone by i've been able to experience all the different types of music and now I just do not like trance at all..I find it repetitive, and annoying and I find I can't dance to it...I'm sure there is some good trance out there but I'm just not a big fan.

all electronic music is repetitive..thats the nature of the genre

If you hate trance then you are for the most part a minority in the scheme of things if you think of it on a global size, almost everywhere else in the world is pumping trance in the main rooms of there clubs and partys and playing mainly house in the side rooms, and if you look at the top 100 list for dj's , almost all the top guys are playin trance,

All those things, they just really contribute to my dislike for trance. The music that becomes most popular, in any situation, usually reflects the lowest common denominator of the tastes of a large group of people for whom music is NOT the main reason for going out to a club or a party. That mainstream trance you're talking about, the stuff that gets played in big rooms worldwide - i'm fairly firm in my conviction that that music is some of THE WORST SHIT being produced now, and throughout the entire history of music. I'm not closed minded to trance on a whole, but the mainstream clubtrance is obvioulsy complete shite, to anyone with an ear for music. I doubt the people who produce it are even that passionate about it, they just see an easy formula to put out records and make bucks. nothing wrong with that if it pays the bills, but there's no musical integrity there.

All i can say is check out some real psy/goa trance. dark soho, mr peculiar, infected mushroom , it's some dark, hard shit that's never repetitive, and although I like lots of beatsbut it all sounds cheesy and simple compared to high quality psy/goa. i've found the vibes at good small goa parties in van to be the best there are too. Go check out Organix at club 23 and tell me you still hate trance.

MOTHERFUCKING EXACTLY!!!! took the words out my fucking mouth!

but not only that, if someone said they hated jungle (like I have before) they would get flamed to no end... total bullshit!

and might I also note that jungle can be just as repetitive as trance...

I agree, most of mainstream trance is shit, but still some producers who are considered mainstream like PVD and ferry corsten are pretty sweet.

The whole Top100 list of Djs is complete joke, easily less than half of them dont deserve to be on there(in terms of their Djing ability). All it is is a popularity contest (ie Paul Oakenfold, etc.).

But whatever, like pretty much every other genre out there: I really like it but I dont love it, thats why I pretty much only listen to house, not because I only like that genre but because I like it alot more than anything else... To say any genre of music is bad is fucking ignorant, and to whoever it was that started this thread needs to get their head checked. What exactly are you trying to prove by starting this thread?

Quit hatin.

that's cool

but i should point out, i'm NOT talking about PVD or Ferry Corsten, i might not totally dig on their tunes but i can appreciate the creativity behind what they're doing. But when i do my ordering each week for my shop, and i see 50 new trance covers of pop songs of the past 30 years, i can't help but think that somebody's pumping out assembly-line club hits without a trace of artistic process. And i highly doubt, if confronted, that the faceless producers behind these tracks would deny any of my accusations.

as i said before, if that's your job then good on ya. but that is not music for music lovers, it's a soundtrack for mass flailing. i guess somebody's gotta do it...

So now you hate jungle too?

HATER!!!

[ppcock]

you people have no idea the creativity it takes to make an amazing trance set.. Because each trance song sounds different from another.. It takes pure artistry to create an amazing trance song.

For instance.. rank 1.. making airwave.. that song is an amazing song.. its the perfect example about the creativity it takes to make a trance song.

But hey.. you all like your jungle.. i dunno, jungle.. music that a retarded baby with 1 hand can make.

[Crazy Dave]

hmmm I bet most of you kids thing trance is only that shit stuff you use to hear at the plaza... oldly enough that's not even trance.

[ppcock]

what would you call it?

[Crazy Dave]

It's epic house. Kinda like the epic trance of 1999-2000, but with less the techno influences, and more of the house ones.

[ppcock]

maybe to you

but i consider it trance because of the euphoric melodies.

and plus so many dj's have their cd's as tranceformer, tunnel trance force, trance nation.

If you wanted to call it dream dance.. i would agree.

[Crazy Dave]

The epic elements of the music does not make it trance. Those came strong only after late 98-99. The hard loopy drone that made trance, trance and not techno had been dropped in this new 'trance" form... It would be like still calling drum and bass, drum and bass if it had a soild 4 on the floor beat. Or even speed garge with out the bass line.

It's just stupid.

I don't know,,, I've only been listing to trance for 10 years or more. I only heard the sounds that came out of rave, and hardcore(old school), in the early proto-trance 150-170BPM, (90-92), that hardened up with soild kick of the 909 (92-93) and slowed down to the 135-150 tempos. I only heard the progresive sounds come in 95-97, and then epic chease the took over from that. But what do I know, you've been about for 2 maybe 3 years. You must know better cause you pop out a few overly marked names so quickly. You must know better then me.

[jimboski]

Agree~ looking through global size trance is greatly appreciated, but Vancouver is also a city with a large number of house/jungle/breaks fans and that we all have to accept, well people have their own opinions :soak: cheers

trance + jungle = uplifting cutting beats :PartEkid:

[Crazy Dave]

Ive heard some nice Epicy jungle,,, kinda nice very fring. Acidy jungle would be sweet

[ppcock]

alright dave

you win

you apparently know better.. but i'll still consider it trance.

[Hot Karl]

I think alot of this genre division just stems from the youngsters going to partys. it's so cliqish just like high school. oh! well trance is cool "i luv trance" oh wait, jungle's cool now "imma junglist"

the first few times i heard dnb i was like whoa, not my style, but not like 'OH THIS SUX' cuz i obviously know all and see all right? now i fuckin luv dnb, and i still love trance. and if you don't like it just stfu then. I am not a big fan of country, but do i go around constantly saying country suxors!@!##%^^#%

[ty:rone]

these "bc room/theater room/bath room" party people are as narrow minded as the french. if not more.
