oh bollox! wake up! mod in the same way that we are blinded by the fact we dont listen to trance anymore - u are blinded by the fact that u still do!

 

if trance is better now - why is cream not running anymore? why has crasher gone monthly? why are there generally alot less trance nights now? why are there less people into it?

Because there's more easy money to be made out of middle-of-the-road hard house!

 

You make the incorrect assumption that "more people liking X" means "X must be good". A lot of people like Blazing Squad...

 

In fact I would go as far as to say, the fact that less people are into trance now, actually suggests that it is better now... at least the days of the cheesy overblown commercial "big riff" trance are all but over.

i'll agree with that totally. probably why we're gettin better trance too, as it's not the "big thing" so not every producer and their dog are making it. So trance now isn't really being made to cash in some easy money because it will sell, rather because producers enjoy making it. well that's what i think anyway.

 

but to me you still can't beat that atmosphere from crasha 98-early 2000
