Hey there!
There are quite a few threads around this forum on trance music. Me, I'm a trance addict too... and yes, I know the difference between techno and trance. I like Ferry Corsten also...
Cyclops is the other guy here who's into trance.

Silver, I agree with your choice of DJs. Tho I never heard of Mangoo and Zhivago/Zymotix...
But I don't get tired lancing the whole nite to trance music leh! Dunno why, the music itself provides me energy to go on and on and on... I remember got one time in France when i go chiong, I dance from 11pm to 5am, then after that still drive 1hr back to my place. wakakakaa!!!
die lah. think i zou3 huo3 ru4 mo2 already.... -
trance nv make me tired.....i think hehehe

thats the beauty of trance, when you experience true trance, you feel the music in you as it engulf your mind and soul and you dance to it. you will never get tired when dancing to trance as long as you feel the music in you. you dance coz the music makes you dance, not becoz you are in a club and everybody's dancing and you wanna be part of the crowd.
its really unfortunate that singapore lacks good clubs which hav house dj who spins trance as house anthem. i feel this is because singapore still lacks pple who support trance thats why the clubs have to bend towards more comercial hits to draw the crowds.

Agree with all of u... when e music get into u... u dun care about e people there or even ur frens.. u juz groove to e music.. just can't stop moving..

trance lover r few, $$-maker don't really dare to invest in such club. afraid it might not survive.Originally posted by LoSt WiTnEsS:thats the beauty of trance, when you experience true trance, you feel the music in you as it engulf your mind and soul and you dance to it. you will never get tired when dancing to trance as long as you feel the music in you. you dance coz the music makes you dance, not becoz you are in a club and everybody's dancing and you wanna be part of the crowd.

sad thing to say that most of the clubs here play the same music everywhere. -
thats why i feel that the best place to enjoy trance is at home and not in local clubs. although there would be a lack of ambiance, if you are willing to spurge on high-end sound equipment, you would not be at the mercy of dj who spins crappy stuff.
another problem is getting mp3s online. i use to d/l from audiogalaxy, they have the most entensive list of trance music found online, but due to copyrights laws, they dun offer free downloads anymore . wat i use now is winmx and kazzaa which uses p2p system. but searching for the right tracks are a pain. even when the right track is found, it takes ages to d/l when the user is offline or pple just dun share. sometmes after downloading the tracks, they turn out to be either corrupted, or the quality sucks bigtime. 
anybody can recomend a good place for music d/ls?
it seems that storm knows his music. i respect that. we need more pple like him in singapore. switch to trance pple!! -
Try www.di.fm. If you have broadband, that is... hor, Cyclops hor?Originally posted by LoSt WiTnEsS:...

Another peer-to-peer program that i use to feed my mp3 needs is kazaa. do a search for it using yahoo. quite idiot-proof, but you have to deal with a lot of pop ups and the threat of viruses and unauthorised access. But if you are computer-savvy/net-savvy enough and know what you are doing, its no prob.
... no lah... I'm not alone. There are actually quite a few trance "connoisseurs" here. Cyclops being one confirmed one.
But my taste in trance music very selective one. Too hard, I don't like. Too progressive, I don't like. I like my trance commercial and melodious. haha. But please, enough of Darude's Sandstorm. Overplayed piece of s***... *mumble*
Oh two words: Liquid Room. However, if you are not ang moh/rich/a girl or a combination of the above three, you're gonna have a hard time getting in. Try Wednesdays and Saturdays. -
That's been my calling ever since I discovered trance music... But I gave it up after some time because I realise that it's futile. Singaporeans are generally not ready to switch to this kind of music, because they may be mindset that "trance" music is 1) techno-diu-diu-diu kind of music (alot of my friends think so) or 2) scary (because of the name, trance, like gong-tao like that.)Originally posted by LoSt WiTnEsS:...switch to trance pple!!
Right now, I only preach to those who want to listen. Ai lai, mai sua. To each his own. You like RnB (it's gettin' hot in here, so take off all your clothes... uh uh uh uh....)? Go ahead. You like retro (call me! call me! baby call me NOW!!!)?? Go have a ball. Leave me to enjoy my trance music at home, in my car and with my fellow addicts. -
u see the problem here is that the society oso don't appeciate trance. me n some friends thought we could only enjoy it at home...but we always have some boyz in blue came knocking at our door...saying the is too loud and horrible...
-
yeah i like Gigi Agostino and ATB!!!trance is nice...can calm ppl
-
actually trance is considered passe liao....they used to rule the 80s or 90s i forget liao
-
Ijjit? i know you told me that the other day, but 80s or 90s?? so long ago meh? I read the CD cover of one of the Ministry of Sound CDs (Trance Nation 4 mixed by Ferry Corsten - 2000) :Originally posted by Cyclops:actually trance is considered passe liao....they used to rule the 80s or 90s i forget liaoSo what the hell is trance?
I'm a fan of Vangelis and J-M-J, and their electronic music is probably the grand-daddy of the trance music that we know of today... Anyway the oldest "trance" song that I can think of is Children by Robert Miles. Anyone can come up with something trancey that's older than that?
Tree-wise it's a member of the techno family of musical genres, but with its roots more firmly esconded in 70's and 80's European systhesised sounds with musical innovators such as Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis and Giorgio Moroder largely cited as influences.
Since its current inception as an offshoot of the European techno scene in the early 90's, remember Jam and Spoon, Dance 2 Trance and The Age of Love, trance has extended, branched out and even fused with other musical gene pools to create a whole new species of sound. -
