The first post in the new forum!

This has come to my attention because everyone keeps complaining about the lack of 'real' Hard Trance around at the moment compared to 2000-2001 including myself!

Now why don't producers take a step back in time to proceed to the future? I mean I'm not saying that music shouldn't be progressed because if it didn't we wouldn't be where we were in the scene right now. If they took a step back and there new tracks being influenced from the scene a couple years back, I think that there would be more decent hard trance around at the moment!

If the hard trance producers did this then hard style would have it's own genre instead of being a hard trance seed off, I can't sometimes tell the different between 2003 hard trance and 2003 hard style! But I do know is there's alot of difference between hard trance in 2001 and hard style in 2003!

Don't take me wrong I don't see nothing wrong with hardstyle as I respect all peoples music tastes, but I just think we need to seperate the 1 genre into 2 different ones, At the moment I think hard trance & hard style are in the same genre, I know some people will disagree but that's my opinion!

Lets hope in 2004 there will be more hard trance like 2001 where the sound was fresh and I for one loved it, I know people will disagree totally with me, But I just want to see what other people think about this :!:
