For my entire career as an IDM/Noise enthusiast on the internets, I've partaken, often, in the genocidal, universal, 0 tolerance, hatred towards trance.
Maybe I'm exaggerating.
But it seems like trance is by far the most hated genre in "intelligent" electronic music circles.
6 months ago I started throwing small raves. Since then, I've begun to love trance, more and more. I'm now at a point where I listen to trance as much as I listen to any other type of music.
I don't know whether I would have liked it all along if I'd heard what I listen to now, or if I just needed an immersive experience for me to give the stuff a chance, but... I just fucking love it.
And what's worse is that I like a lot of typically bad trance. Like, vocal melodic trance. Anthem trance. UPLIFTING trance. But, I have some taste. I still avoid Tiesto and Van Buren like the plague...
It's just... I fell weird falling in love with something I've actively despised for so long. Is anybody with me on this?
Does anybody else secretly indulge in the sinful pleasure of trance? | |

skazi - that's all i got.
i'm really picky there's so much of what i might call "crap" and so few songs i like.
there are whole albums and only one song i "kinda like".
its an aim or trajectory. i don't think it is really "there" as a genre.
maybe i'm actually just retarded. but some of what simon posford does or skazi, biodegradeable, etc. ... just boggles me.

oh. i lied. more..i have always had mixed feelings about infected mush.
they seem to be a little more "chemical" or synthetic or machine-driven that i like.
still, occassionally interesting to listen to for ideas. its thick layers.

Oh, totally. 99% of trance is a waste of time. But it's worth it for the jewels right ;)

Why fight your true appreciation towards something beautiful especially when it comes to music (whatever the genre)? Simply embracing it is way cooler than trying to look "intelligent" while being stupid enough to pass up on good tunes.

i guess i just don't get it.
my boss has a poster on the wall with a picture of sean combs and the caption "It's not that I'm old, your music really does suck."

The trance I ever liked was NOOM records. Commander TOM and such.

edit(s): for a minute, its not superficial. its the inner struggle gone sideways
then, some artists make it so superficial.
