Paul Oakenfold is a good DJ. He is up there with all the other best DJs such as tiesto, PVD, AVB etc... but leaving with a slutty girl?? he's in it for some ass and the fame and fortune.. not the music.

I used to love his mixes...like Global Underground: NY is my fave...but then I spun with him in Atlanta and heard him mix..then caught other mixes...didn't leave me to impressed....but whatever. I really don't have thoughts on him positive or negative....he has contributed a lot to the scene in the UK...which help start things in the US....so for that I am grateful...but Bunkka was a lame album!

I don't... Why? Because this is the lamest shit I've heard since Oakey's - Bunkka... Don't like the progressive stuff that's out there... I don't blame you.. But open your mind a bit... How can you say that trance is "souless"?... Because there's no bongos or horns?... Because most trance doesn't have a certain "tribalism" to it... Trance is rock star's music... That's why it's soo accepted... It's produced, written, and constructed in much of the same manner as alot of rock and roll is... Rock and Roll is genuinely American music... So it makes sense why Americans would flock to trance sounds... You want some original trance choons... Try scoping out the subgenres... Psytrance, Goa, Acid Trance... About as "un-funk" as one will get... But it's production value makes it one of the most technical EDM styles out there... <in the edit>  !!!... I just realized what your real problem with trance is... You're one of those techno purists!!!... You're distaste for trance goes deeper than just not liking it... Trance took your precious techno music to a softer level... It took the 4/4 bang and blip-and-bleep sounds out of the warehouses and into clubs... Techno music remained an idle sound until house and trance evolved from it...I love techno... Techno is the root of trance music...It's the root of most modern EDM... For this I can respect... But techno purity is long dead... Way too many people with way too many influences producing these days...

Epic Trance. Ha. Psy Trance. Ha. Progressive. blah blah blah. I have heard it all before. And if you don't think I know music to apoint where I haven't listened to enough trance to make an honest decision, well then try working for a well know internet record store for 8 years doing the buying and sampling of ALL music, and then tell me I need to listen to more music. I have over 10,000 records in my collection too, and there is house, techno, reggae, hip hop, and everything in between. I guess we will have to agree to disagree.

Nothing can give me that natural high just by listening to it, like trance can. Nothing elevates me like trance can. Im a funky house head at heart, but trance will always be there to relax me when i need to calm down, forget about everything, and just focus on the music. Trance takes you places. LikE epiphane says.. T IS FOR TRANCE!

epitome to some. Grave stone to others.
I just can't believe how easily herded this flock is here, just like 90 percent of the rest out there, by trance crap. I thought the rave scene was supposed to be underground, for the people by the people. This is music for the people by the people with the most money to spend on marketing and promotion driven by record sales and mainstream acceptance. This is what I hate about trance, and why I think it will be the downfall of the scene. I have my opinions, and you all have yours, but neither of us will change our opinions, and this is fine. I am listening to all your points, are you listening to mine?

Most techno, in my opinion, is boring and dry... It's like a sandwich with no condiments, all meat and bread.... Yah the basics are covered... A nice steady 4/4, some percussions, and some synthlines... But overall, techno leaves way too much "gray area" as far as music listenablility is concerned... I like to think of pure techno music as the core of the many genres that spawned from it... Now as a purist, you may think that as these genres that came from techno as perversions of the original form... But I like to think of it as "Alpha" of music... The first of a long line of technology-based dance music genres... I've jacked this thread long enough... I agree to disagree with you (even though, I don't completely disagree with you)... But the makes for great discussion... Now back to your regularly scheduled program...
