Its easy to distinguish a track from 1999-2000-2001 era from the recent released tracks because older tracks were much more original and atmospheric than the new ones.They had more spirit if you ask me and it was pure joy listening to them.

Even tracks by the same artists are so different with each other.

Take Deedrah's masterpiece Reload album and compare each track there with any of the tunes he has released in the last 3-4 years,the production might be better in our days but the older tracks are much more original and interesting in my humble opinion.

Try to compare Etnica's old tunes with the recent ones,no comparison at all.

Older Koxbox with the latest album?No way.

Space Cat,Oforia,Astral Projection,Yahel and Infected Mushroom?Its like listening to tottally different artists in our days in worst editions if you ask me.

Even Skazi was so much better during his debut album,i dont know what happened to him after Animal album.

Anyone heard Astrix's first psy trance tunes?They were gold masterpieces and very original and atmospheric.

GMS older stuff comparing to their latest tunes?Not even once in a million.

Bamboo Forest?X Dream?Orion?Electric Universe?Man With No Name?Logic Bomb?S Range?One of the same i guess and the list just keeps going on.

Not to mention an endless list of artists that just stopped producing music unfortunately for us.Artists like Power Source,Sandman and his Green House Effect project,Mark Allen,Tsuyoshi,Blue Planet Corporation who dissapeared for many years,Total Eclipse and many more.

Some got bored,some got tired,some got rich,some stopped,some just dont care anymore,its very natural if you ask me,no one can do the same stuff for many years and its natural for people who have seen the world ten times and have played in crowds of tens of thousands to get bored and tired with all this situation,these guys have travelled so much that they see nightmares with airplanes in their sleep and waiting queues on airports.Noone can blame them for not being as original and innovative and spiritual they used to be back in the early days.

Very very few artists developed in my humble opinion into something better than they were before.Artists like Prometheus who for me is by far the best artist in the scene at the moment,Son Kite and Atmos the progressive masters,Vibrasphere who keep delivering amazing music,Silicon Sound who is also great,Dino Psaras and Tristan who are still front line and both very original and sometimes even controversial,Hallucinogen ofcourse with his amazing Shpongle and Younger Brother projects,Jaia and the Spirallianz guys and Xerox along with Illumination who are by far the best and most powerful act coming from Israel at the moment in my humble opinion.

Things naturally evolve like Fragletroller said above but unfortunately not always for the better and for sure not in this case.

Thanks to all the names mentioned above and everyone else who i forgot for the wonderful legacy you have left us,even in ten years from now the music from those days will sound like heaven in our ears no matter what else you will have produced in the meanwhile.Really thanks for all the memories and amazing melodies.

P.S I am no music expert the above are just my personal opinion.

Trance as we know it won't exist in 5 years time, or else it will be the new disco

one thing never changes- trancers are picky bitches who like to complain.
im the first one to admit this
