well i don't get the trance stuff nowadays; it's too warm music for me. for me techno is about technology, cyberpunk etc. mostly the trance stuff is too 'human' for that. if i want to listen to smoother stuff i grab my inner cities and terrence parker records and like, you know, real house stuff. there was some good trance stuff, but nobody does it anymore. like sequential - sequential on rising high records around 92/92 and that kinda dark and deep stuff. and maybe spicelab's 'spirit of fear' track.. many trance records i've lately heard are just the same; i cannot hear any innovation on those tunes. it is kind of music you can dance to if you're really drunk and have nothing better to do, but it's not really music to listen to, like most of the detroit/electro/industrial/ambient/ etc stuff that really tickles your brains when you listen to it. i mean, the trance tunes are formulaic: the long progressive house intro, with some strings and arpeggios perhaps, then the break, snareroll, vocal snippet, and a bit later maybe a bit more vocals. and another snare roll. if this is commercialization or not, i don't know, it's just something i can't find any vibes on. just my humble opinion. // sakke -- work > http://www.teraflops.com/ personal > http://www.vip.fi/~sakke/
