I personally think Sven Vath and the boys at Harthouseand EyeQ kept the techno-trance schism at bay for some time Sven Vath's 1995 'Touch Themes', which is remixes of Vath's 'Harlequin' 'Robot' & 'Ballet Dancer' is very much still techno. Speedy J's first two LP's are very trancey in nature, but still firmly rooted in techno.
Goa did make a big impact though and made the music much easier to pigeon hole into categories in the latter years. Now progressive is borrowing largely from tech-house. In fact many techno producers are starting to show up on trance/progressive labels (Selway & uggh Smith on Hooj? Rino Cerrone on Saw? Carl Finlow on Bedrock?)
