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.)

that`s super old when Psytrance was ok
even Growling Mad Scientists started out making decent tunes
hell even Infected mushroom were class for a while

I`m all about hard and dark

Noisegust
Saffi Brothers
Baphomet Engine
CPC
....

i'll admit i liked infected mushrooms first album when i was a teenager (still listen to that Psycho tune, its proper dark), and i enjoy all that dubby stuff shpongle, ott and younger brother make

also

all that ibiza trance and all this new type of progressive house thats become popular in the past 5 or so years is fucking DIRE though

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.

it is 99.9% shit to be fair

so you would be one of those retards i was talking about...

m8 u quote bill hicks and have a your mom avatar

i will come to your yard and punch ur dog square in the fucking face

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

terms like this are why trance is awful

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'
