Well put! Trance rocks! Techno is cool too.majutsu said:as the rush comes is a classic song.
like two full moons and a trout by union jack.
techno is actually just beats and effects. None of the stuff mentioned is techno. Plastikman is awesome techno. I like one or two others.
most stuff here is trance. Trance is techno + melody. The rhythm and effects are diminished a bit and the emphasis is on melody.
House is techno+disco, which sounds a little trancey but the bass and beats are funkier and their are a lot of vocals. This starts to sound kind of gay in the worst examples, the most trite. DJ Sasha, the renaissance series and Farina are good inspired versions of this style. X-pander is a classic track.
Ambient techno is techno+ambient/experimental music. This is like Orbital, with the classic track belfast.
Modern trance like armin van buren, dj tiesto, Tales of the Unexpected vols 1 and 2 are good places to start.
Leftfield and IDM are the wierdo electronica/trance spin-offs. The most famous is Aphex twin. The best (as Flah pointed out elsewhere) is Autechre. Truly awesome. NOT uplifting at all.
I love trance.

It's like jazz man, takes a while to get into. That first listen is like a shock to the system, you don't know what's going on. Subsequent listens reveal more and more.theoak01 said:flah- i downloaded a Autechre album didnt really like it,i thought it was kids mixing on a pc program

Snarling Force said:For me, after discovering trance 6 years ago, I've never looked back. I came to the realization there had to be something more out there. More specifically, my true love is psytrance. There is nothing that will make you work out harder and faster, IMO. I can run a thousand miles at 15% grade listening to that stuff. Of course its all a matter of opinion and personal taste. I respect everyone's unique taste in music. For me though, this music is my first true love, with lifting a close 2nd. I eventually became a DJ and then moved into production as is usually the natural progression for a lot of people that listen to this type of music. If you all wanted to try something different, I would be more than happy to put up some of my DJ sets that I've mixed that I listen to while I run. It certainly couldn't hurt to take a listen for yourself. Its good to try new things.![]()
well said friendmajutsu said:who cares. You like -- I like.
all techno is trash. All music is trash really. I love music. Play music. The older I get the more I realize, music is not for the artist, for me, for meaning, for politics . . . It is for you. It is entertainment. Are you entertained? Then it's good music. Is it electronic instruments in 4:4 with emphasis on the 2/4 beats? Then its techno.
Shut up and dance already.![]()
one of my best buds, dj farmer brown weaves old skool, trance/techno, reggae, ska, hip hop and tones of madonna into his mixesNickyE3 said:I didnt think this thread would take off like it has.
At parties when I throw on some Trance everyone looks at me like I have the plague!
Fuck em, Trance/Techno kicks major ass.
