    Its a matter of personal taste - which will remain so until its obvious everyone else shares the same sentiment.

    Hard House in its previous guise seems to have died off and lost that mega hype it had a few years ago - thankfully :)

    Trance, as your typical hands in the air massive build ups, massive break downs, strings, etc etc etc.... is now dated and sounds boring to me - I would say the gradual pullback in the UK in recent years shows this quite obviously.

    Having said that, dj's and producers who are willing to adapt trance and shift it around a bit (Jon O Bir for instance) and keep it feeling a bit 'fresh' still have what it takes to make something that sounds magical to me.

    Having said that, the BPM range of trance music, and the formula behind making a 'trance tune' just put me off pursuing it any more - Personally i think theres more fun to be had with what you can do around 127-130BPM's - the riffs, vocals and percussion are alot more varied there.


    So trance - maybe not dead - but seriously stale.

    Most of the new djs are trying to reinstate trance as "cool" sound!
    Take uplifiing trance sounds cool and euphoric!

    Hard Trance deals with the "hardened" side of trance which has hard beats deals with the people who want to dance violantly towards it!(me)

    Goa Trance I think this is the key what could reinstate trance as illegal and deals with the two .Try listing to this on drugs mad or what!(by the way i cant remember before 96 about music)


    Most old stuff is in between uplifting and hard which sound dated but still works with me!

    these posts/threads are popping on every harder dance message board all over the UK, vinyls sales down in the hard dance market not solely due to illegal d/l but this is a big factor (before I get slated for saying Hard Dance - Hard Dance is meaning Techno, Hard House etc) anyway, because of these sales going down peopel are taking longer to release their vinyls and they're waiting on the return cash from the previous releases - this is why everything is slower. I'm into hard house and already 1 label has called it a day due to sales figures, another has shut up shop temporarily and I'm sure there will be more by the end of the year.

    I hate to say it but everything is looking piss-poor for the harder scene

    no, who gives a fuck anyway do people just seem to listen to what is big at the minute? i just listen to what i like. Music genres hardly ever die (unless its uk garage) they just go underground. As for trance its still filling arenas, the top 3 positions were trance djs in the djmag top100, so whether you like it or not its very much alive :)

    and with every one of these threads you'll just keep getting the same thing, the people who have either over done it with drugs or people who just personally went off the music saying its dead. Then have people who are just starting clubbing saying its class, its just a big circle as soon as youse lot go off trance someone else is getting into it and keepign it alive :)

    people who like trance will still like trance - the cool kids who followed it cause they thought it was popular will move onto their next electro/breaks DJ for a while....


    nothing goes away... just the kids with 5 second attention spans

    As Peter already said harder music will never die, it will just go more underground how ever vinyl is on it's way slowly but surely.... as much as i hate saying it, IT IS TRUE
