Trance

I know very little about this genre. I do know, however, that I really enjoy this song:

And that entire album, for that matter.

I know trance has a pretty bad rep, but I'm not educated enough on the topic to know exactly why. But there are some pretty good tunes out there. So...trance thread.

(And yes, I know theres that one in general discussion, but that's kinda a shit fest.)

Ooo, nice one!

Pardon my ignorance, I'm not 100% on where trance ends and psy-trance begins. And out of curiosity, is there any real difference between psy and goa?

People who say that Trance is crap dont have the wherewithall to scout the best tracks and make a judgement.

Thats too kind. Anyone who can write off a entire genre of anything is a fucking retard.

nonsensical garbage aside, how about this to further the argument:

Ok so if I post 100 trance tracks here, then you will be able to intelligently and systematically describe why, in your all-knowing wisdom and compostional/production expertise, 99 of them are shite.

Perhaps using these points as a guideline

* Production Quality
* Inteligence of the expression of melodic/rythmic idea
* Synthcraft
* How it goes down in a venue

lol.

I used to love trance when i was like 15/16... but then i grew up. I don't mean that in an insulting way, i just loved it mainly because that was what my idea of club music was. Late 16 and 17 years old i started going out properly and... apart from shit clubs that play radio 1 hits all night.. i realised the clubbing scene was very different. Hence ended up listening to a lot of jungle/garage/drum and bass.. then a phase of bassline and uk funky.

I can't imagine going to see trance DJs on a regular basis like i do dnb and dubstep, trance is pretty dead for me now. Although would love to go Sensation White in Amsterdam.

i think we can all agree that breaks are even worse than trance though

Lol I have used the same term in the production forum for dubstep.

When I use the term, i mean the inteligence used to select the various sounds and how they work together, and any intelligent use of automation or of a sounds originality, or of a novel effect chain or any 1 of a hundred different things.

what do you mean exactly?

'synthcraft' was only one thing. you still have to explain why 99/100 suck at the other judgement guidelines.

Just so you know: there is a big difference between: 'i'm not into Trance' and 'all Trance is shit'
