Excerpts from mail: 3-May-99 (idm) Intelligent trance??? by Darren xxxxx@xxxxxx.xxx > other people respond with great examples of innovative artists in the given > genre. The one category I've never heard defended on this list is trance...is > there any trance that people out there like? The only trance I hear is really > obnoxious and pop-ish...is that all there is? I have a bit of a sore spot for some of the older Rising High/Fax trance stuff, including Casper Pound's chubby trance and Oliver Lieb's lengthy Spicelab workouts. But I suspect proper trance has really come and gone (see Eye-Q's bankruptcy, etc.) There's some neato stuff on Platipus records that borders on cheese, but it still pretty good. Hard driving beats and lush synth, miles away from even remotely sounding like goa/progressive trance. Pete Namlook was making awesome cheesy trance before he "chilled" out completely.... 1-Year-Dance (on Fax) is an awesome collection of mostly Namlook-related trance projects from the first year of Fax. Witness the work of Namlook and Atom Heart working chubby 4/4 booms and typewriter clicks with a sample of a woman saying "I'm a secretary and I work all day!" Tee hee..... Aaron onnow: Chopin
