I dont consider myself to be into trance music anymore, almost all of whats about today doesnt interest me one bit.

But i still find myself listening to a lot of old trance music from when it was warm and flowing and had feeling coming from it, charectoristics which are lost these days.

I remember when hard trance meant music that had energy to it but still a lot of depth, that kinda sound slowly dissapeared to make way for more aggresive sounds with less musical ideas and instead lazy arrangements and samey instrument sounds.

Which brings me to my point, is there a place for the old kind of trance anymore, if it was to come back would it be apprectared by the ever increasing amount of people who are happy with a banging kick drum distorted bass and predictable sounding paint by numbers esq riffs ?

ive been making music at home for a few years now and recently i have found myself reaching a point were i feel comfortable with my ability and am able to sit down and write a track and be happy with the outcome, but the only thing is i dont want to make the kinda music that is the norm these days, its the old vibe that grabbed me originally and imo some of the best melodic dance music came from the 90's.

what is people opinions, im out of touch with the modern scene myself but do a lot of old skool sets still get played ? are they appreciated by the newer generation? do you think theres a place for deeper hard trance to return?

god knows the scene must be ready for a change soon but i cant help wonder if its time to take a few steps back, i still have passion for electronic dance music but its sat firmly in my memories of times gone by.

Id love to have something i could be as passionate as i used to be again!
