Who said good trance was dead??

So good!!!

Activa - Telic (part one) ... Its on youtube.... So good!!!

i don't think anyone said it. that track btw sounds so generic...pluck pluck pluck just like the over 9000 uplifting trance thats being put out there

this one is from last year but is great !

fack lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UR4Z24Q6SzE

O'REALLY?

Fluffy, uninspired and unimaginative could be said about that track.

Activa is one of the most if not the most prolific and underrated producer in the trance scene. HIM and Askew are seriously gifted.

But then again, opinion is like asshole, we each got one!

Its ok. Its nothing to brag about. I listened to it a little bit and I gotta tell you that I heard it all before. Even what Alex posted has been done to death as well.

Both nice sounding tunes. But I wish people would get it out of their heads that 'trance' means that fluffy arping synth sound.

modern trance doesnt come close to tracks like this, Cygnus X - The Orange Theme (Man With No Name Remix)

going to my first trance night in about 3 year on friday, be intresting to hear whats changed

Sorry I just like Trance with creative melodies instead of over 9000 tracks with the same pluck sound from Activa, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Tom Colontonio and even Askew himself. @darklight & GeneticJunk, seriously? No one is saying that Trance from 20 years ago wasn't Trance. Even paul van dyk is such a fucking twat about what "real trance" is lmfao

and 20 years ago is an exaggeration, so don't get your panties in a bunch lol

yesss but its still better than most trance these days, like i say i hardly go clubbing to trance these days, all about psy for me

can you help me on this? ok I really like darkpsy but i can't find any mixes with speeds from 160-165bpm, i keep on getting 150 (which is too slow) or 170-220+ which is too fast....first world problems i know but id hate to start looking for individual tracks right now

I'm sure you'll find some on here.

ah, that be because psy genre nerds make stuff that fast slot into a different pigeon hole. look for psy-kore or psy-core

innit - there's been a whole area overlapping hardtrance and nrg squeezed out of existence because of the above view, and i miss it

also - that area is really quite experimental (in that producers are going out on a limb as there aren't many events that would even alot one hour to this sound) so you're going to have to dig through any free tune archives you find. there is some about though

haven't used ektoplazm in a while, will have to check

and i'll have to find some time to get into psycore. i got a few tunes though xD

also check the full on, twilight, and forest trance sections. possibly a few in the psy breaks archives too. the forest stuff is the trippiest IMO

All sounds the same to me nowdays.Do like the stuff with vocals the most.Use to be so original back in the day Ian Van Dahl and stuff.
Still some good stuff around that stands out i think,but certainly doesn't do it for me with the same gatecrashery leads on everything.

Still think Tiesta did some of the best i reckon.

Arty has been putting out some sweet tunes this year 

  Ha!ha!,well m8,there who i remember stood out to me years ago.I have listened to loads on soundcloud,and it all seems pretty similar tbh,nothing majorily original.Just not my bag i think tbh,thats probably what it is.
