the 'trance' you see in the charts like lasgo etc seems to be all about the image of looking cool, i think this is cos its the kind of music that some people associate with clubbing and drugs. if you see it on top of the pops (not something i make a habit of watching, honest!!!), the emphasis isn't on the dj its on the blonde bird singing and the dancers, which proves that this is not dance music its pop music.
thats why this forum is so good-other people who understand what the word trance actually means!!
