what when i put the word "trance"
1. trance
A form of electronic music that has spiralled out from other forms such as techno and house. Essentially, trance combines a powerful "4-to-the-floor" (or occasionally breakbeat) drumtrack with a strong melodic hookline.
Trance is indisputably one of the most emotional genres that actually exists, because it is all self-interpretation. There are no instrumental or musical limits to trance, and rather than listening to some random guy screaming about his life, associating with a trance progression or hookline is much more deep, and much more personal.
Like other genres, trance has many subgenres, some of which have become very commercialised to the extent where the musical merit of some tracks must be questioned (eg. Flip'n'Fill, Scooter etc.)
At the higher end of the more uplifting, melodic (and relatively popular) styles of trance are DJs such as Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, and Ferry Corsten. These DJs in particular can make beautifully structured mixes their own music, and the music of others, building it into a euphoric collage which spans multiple energy levels, in order to provide the listener with peak/trough feelings, and carry them through numerous emotions and mental states.
The creation and spread of trance music is mainly down to machinery such as the Roland JP-8000 (providing the prominently manipulated supersaw wave), and experimental DJs such as Sasha & John Digweed.
I want to listen to a melodic, energetic form of music that emotionally affects my state of mind. Therefore, I will listen to trance.
  Studies indicate that listening to music is good for digestion. |

oops i thought this was actually seriously about online dictionaries.
my favorite for that is www.bartleby.com - it's great and full of etymologies and the like.
and while i'm at it, my other all time favorite is www.wikipedia.org - an amazing free encyclopedia that is constantly evolving and anyone can write an article for it as long as it's unbiased... |

first paragraph on psychedelic trance on wiki-
Psychedelic trance (often referred to as psy trance) is a form of trance music (a style of electronic music), developed in the early 1990s. Trance has a fast beat, in the range 125 to 150 beats per minute (bpm), compared to ambient music and other forms like house and techno. It has a strong bass sound that beats continuously without change and is overlaid by many other rhythms, often made with the famous Roland TB-303.
This type of trance is popular in the UK, but is a truly global phenomenon. Interestingly there is an underrepresentation of American artists, however Israeli artists are well represented. |
