Trance Anyone?

[philip]

I think it might be a remix then as it sounds a lot like the happy popular trance now. But of course I don't know much about it

"Insomnia" ain't trace, at least last time I checked.

RMB's "original" was from 1996, and the German rave-scene was just a userfriendlier, less juvenile and less extreme equivalent of the then very popular happy hardcore-scene... But trance is a wholly different thing altogether.

Anyone who has ever been to an open air festival like VooV, Antaris, Psychedelic Circus or SPirit Zone knows what trance is and would never EVER consider getting something from Dj Jean, Tiesto or what not, for that is commercial pop-music with a fast pace.
Dont mean to upset anyone or provocate anrgy replies, but really, everything you hear on TV or radio or see on CD lying in a music store is NOT trance. Mostly garbage.

Tiesto has been named the world's best Deejay for the third year in a row, so what you think of as crap, is not everyone's opinion. Besides, if there's a Rave, ANYWHERE in the world, and they advertise with Tiesto as being one of the Deejays, you can rest asure the place is crowded.

Wouldn't you turn your work into profit if you had the opportunity ? Tiesto has been around a lot longer than you probably know him, making only nickles and dimes, now it costs a party organisation thousands of €'s to hire him. Would you NOT turn commercial ?

Oh blimey, I knew when someone mentioned trance it would end up in a disagreement about which tracks belong in which genres!

Tis always the way whatever type of music you're into. I don't claim to know a lot about 'dance' music (if you're off your nut it all goes a bit over your head anyway! Give me some dub reggae - Jah Selecter!!!! Drop the bass.... ) but always these discussions end in tears!!!!

Quite interested in following this thread anyway, I hear all sorts of stuff when I'm out at raves and stuff and never know what the heck it is [img]redface.gif[/img] but I'll dance to anything after a certain point [img]redface.gif[/img]

Johnny, I dont blame Tiesto for what he did, hell, offcourse I would do the same thing! And yeah, hes great, i went to his concert, awesome. But my point was merely about the category into which his music falls. And thats not trance, no way. Popular fast paced music with a beat. And I like what he plays live, i really dont like his productions. Seriously, check out VooV and dont let the hippy space talk scare yah. First time i went there i was shocked. Shocked to find out how dillusional i was thinking that the NL 'trance/dance' scene was the best there and that no music could top it. Heh, just check out the sound system they use for VooV music, awesome!

You've got a very strange definition of trance music, especially New Order does *not* belong in that list - it's actually one of their eighties hitsingles. Or are you referring to some sort of remix?

Referring to Faithless as "trance" is practically an insult ( ), Da Hool's song is a well known mid 90s rave-anthem, and whatever Benny Benassi is, it ain't trance. [/QUOTE]Woa there! I had no idea that they're all from different genres! I guess this is all like Black Metal/Death Metal/Goth Metal/? to me.

The New Order song is a remix, I believe. Or is it something else entirely, since I saw some completely different band also called New Order.


Well, if none of these are trance, what genres are they? And what is trance?

The song he's probably talking about is a remix of New Order's Confusion. But I think you're really talking about Public Domain - Operation Blade (Base to the Place London).

Ah, I downloaded Public Domain - Operation Blade. When I first heard it, it seemed like a pathetic reattempt of Confusion. Go to KaZaA or someother, get a song with that name and 'Blade Soundtrack' written behind it, and you'll see what I'm talking about
