This is one of the problems with trance music... it's so widespread that it is easily crossed over with commercial scene's. For example, some people class tracks like Taiko - Silence, RM - Gods Speach, Dj Kim - Jet Lag as hard trance... but these tracks you will hear played underground and in commercial clubs... you will also hear hard trance tracks like Re-An!mator - Re-Wire Your Brain and Planet Punk - X-Ta-Cee at underground events but never (or rarely) get played at commercial venues. It's confusing as people will over-lap trance & hard trance with their opinion of what the music is and get confused.



Safe to say... Schwarzen Puppen won't be on Top Of The Pop's but Dirt Devils - The Drill has?



Just stick to what you like, the commercialness will seperate itself from the underground like water and oil eventually.



Hard Trance at the moment is sort of getting flat... and I agree with what Mark Eg has said about Overdose, I still own many Overdose tracks but at the moment mainly play tracks on the labels of Anthems, Red Alert and Dance Pollution stuff mixed in with my classic Hard/Techno Trance fav's.



On another note, one thing I do find strange is that I actually like Psyclone - Good Side (guyver mix) and Abel Ramos - One More... there Tidy Two Blags... but still think there good tracks...
