‘Best’ and ‘Trance’ do not belong in a sentence together.

90’s trance is a little different from new trance haha. The only music that stays the same

You forget that I heard old shitty trance when you were a little kid and new shitty trance when you were… well, here anyway.

Mind you my opinion on Trance comes from experience playing hardware.

When I bought my first drum machine in the early 90s and discovered what “programming” 4/4 house/techno beats entailed, it left a bad taste in my mouth.

When I also bought my first analog synth in the early 90s and discovered the Resonance and bandpass knobs (a la Trance) I was like “oh goddammit you asshole - tweak this one knob randomly for 9 minutes over a canned loop and call it art?! FUCK OFF.”

Of course, now I realize that an occasional tune can have an interesting 4/4 [like any other rhythm], or that it is possible for a fool to actually play one knob like an instrument to create a compelling, expressive performance…

…but I ain’t heard it in Trance yet (and I mean the strict genre definition, don’t be trying to tell me Shpongle is this or that.)

Ironically I think that the one thing Trance gets right is almost completely untouched by most other genres and mainstream practitioners of electronic music - chords. Chords and chord transitions, relationships, intervals are the source of incredible musical nuance and expressiveness and yet there’s barely any of it compared to classical, jazz, and even rock.

Anyway… :salute: :eggplant:

More chords and fuck Trance. That’s all I gotta say.

I wonder if music can change any more

272

If you have to ask you’re gonna hate it lol

I made some good trance on my ps2 15 years ago. Wish I had that music, people would say it was good

It was mostly techno. I was going to try making music on the pc but I bought reason and could never figure it out

274

I really like early 90s “proto-trance”; the stuff that was still decidedly house and techno, but started showing signs of things to come.

off the top of my head…

Black Merlin did a de nom “proto trance” mix once, but it was almost exclusively on the techno side of things, which I’m not very familiar with. Anyway, still my mix of the day :stuck_out_tongue:
