	So beautiful, A trip from chillout to trance ! The new album from Hands.
		Trance music is generally characterized by a tempo of between 124 and 148 bpm, featuring repeating melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and down throughout a track, often crescendoing or featuring a breakdown.
		Trance records are almost invariably heavily loaded with reverb and delay effects on the synth sounds, vocals and often parts of the percussion section.
		Psychedelic trance, often referred to as psytrance, is a form of electronic music that developed from Goa trance in the early 1990s when it first began hitting the mainstream.

	Minimalist trance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An emerging style of electronic trance music developed in the early 2000s, minimal psytrance is a form of psychedelic trance which developed as a backlash to the older and (some would argue) stale and overused sound of goa trance.
		One of the first artists to create this genre was arguably Daniel Vernunft with his acclaimed Shiva Chandra identity, who continues to this day to release excellent releases under that name and as a member of the group Auricular.
		In the last couple of years Australia has added its own artists and labels to the minimalist trance scene.

	Psychedelic trance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Psychedelic trance, often referred to as psytrance, is a form of trance music that developed from Goa trance in the early 1990s.
		The original Goa trance was often made with popular Modular synthesizers and hardware samplers, but the preference in Psychedelic trance has moved to sample manipulation and storage in VST and AU software sampler applications.
		The first pure Psychedelic trance label was Dragonfly Records, formed by the artist and trance producer Martin "Youth" Glover (a former bassist for the band Killing Joke) in Brixton, London.

		Trance also usually features more complicated chord progressions and melodies than were found in the music at the time, including 4 chord progressions symptomatic of 80's new wave music.
		Arguably a fusion of techno and house, early trance shared much with techno in terms of the tempo and rhythmic structures but also added more melodic overtones which were appropriated from the style of house popular in Europe's club scene at that time.
		The sounds used in trance tended to be produced by analog synthesizers (or recently, digital simulations of analog synthesizers, often called virtual analog synthesizers), with lush "strings" providing the basis for the melodies and pads, while similar analog equipment was used to produce basic bass notes and the regimented "four-to-the-floor" drum loops.

	Trance music. A definition of genre. Trance, goa, psy, house, progressive and more...
		Trance did a very promising start in the early nineties (1990's) in Europe, and is currently one of the most promising and influential music genres on the music scene.
		Trance itself is very wide-scoped, it occupies a lot of territory with a lot of space and brings its influence deeply outside and well beyond its own bounds, that seem to be quite obscure.
		However, the melodies in trance differed from euro/club house in that although they tended to be emotional and uplifting, they did not "bounce around" in the same way that house did.

	More on Trance
		However, not all trance fits that profile, and often times a song's classification as "trance" has just as much to do with who is playing it as what it sounds like.
		This early trance tended to be characterized by the anthemic qualities described above, and typically involved a break-down portion of the song in which the beat was dropped for a few bars to focus on the melody before bringing the beat back with a renewed intensity.
		Some of the artists that had helped create the trance sound in the early and mid-1990s were, by the end of the decade, branching out with more experimental work (artists of particular note here are BT and Underworld).

	Generation Trance :: Bio
		Trance music is a subgenre of electronic dance music (EDM) that developed in the 1990s.
		Perhaps the most ambiguous genre in the realm of electronic dance music, trance could be described as a melodic, more-or-less freeform style of music derived from a combination of techno and house.
		These industrial artists were largely dissociated from rave culture, and their trance albums were generally experiments, not an attempt to start a new genre with an associated culture--they remained firmly rooted culturally in industrial and avant-garde music.

		This 12” is somewhat different from the norm of psychedelic trance as the now well known style has mutated and musically married the newer styles such as drum ‘n bass and breakbeat.
		Jazzy trance may be a difficult concept to get the head around, yet this Australian band succeed in delivering a very different outlook to their music.
		On The Spirit World, a minimalist trance feel is employed at the start before been overtaken by the less frenetic main section that still leaves plenty of room for noises of the spiritual world to enter these themes.

	History of Psychedelic trance - psychedelic.gr (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Psychedelic trance (often referred to as psy trance) is a form of trance music (a style of electronic music), developed in the late 1990s.
		Psychedelic trance as a term is used very ambigiously and almost synomously with the name Goa trance.
		Some for example, began to use the term psychedelic trance to distinguish the newer material made by artists which were formally known to have been Goa trance artists, but the new material by these artists was more minimalist, and less melodic.

		Trance also heavily uses sawtooth waved synthesizers more so than other genres.
		By this time, trance had become synonymous with progressive house and both genres essentially subsumed each other under the commercial banner of "progressive." Artists like Brian Transeau (BT), Paul Van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, and Underworld came to the forefront as premier producers and remixers, bringing with them the emotional, "epic" feel of the style.

		minimalist trance takes a sophisticated ear to apreciate..im not tying to be a snob but its the truth.
		melodic trance (astral projection and the like) is pretty good for goofing around...but when you want to realy utilize what this music can do for you, minimal goa is the most powerful style you can get.
		there is no way someone who likes trance in the first place wouldnt love minimal if they payed attention to what they were hearing and not spent all their time just jumping around the dancefloor.

		A Brief History of Trance Elements of what would become trance music were being explored by industrial artists in the late 1980s.
		By this time, trance had become synonymous with progressive house and both genres essentially subsumed each other under the commercial banner of "progressive." By the end of the 1990s, trance remained commercially huge but had fractured into an extremely diverse genre.
		Many artists described as producing a very powerful trance sound have most recently released tracks more suggestive of techno; DJs known for spinning scintillating trance anthems in 1996, turn to a darker, housier sound in 2000.

		David Nicosia-Longhi had been listening to all types of trance since 1998 and in the early part of year 2000 decided to create the music project Mazenga.
		So far I have focused on the more modern psychedelic trance, which is massive in Europe.
		My idea is to take a bit from the old-school Goa style and mix it with the modern dark, deep and minimalist psychedelic trance.

	Skykicking
		The distinction from trance is a bit more problematic, as trance's rigid 4/4 obsession is basically derived from house anyway.
		But trance removes the destabilising aspect of house's refracted pulse which places different emphases on different beats, instead streamlining the rhythm so that every beat is like a step forward - which produces the sensation so often associated with trance of being "on a journey".
		But I think house's continual four beat climax-release grooves produce a desire in the listener to always return to that first beat and hear the measure again; in a sense, the tensions of the groove tease the listener's ear and their body with the prospect of withheld pleasures.

		Over the years, he has developed a sound passion for non-commercial trance and more recently for minimalist psychedelic trance.
		During his DJ sessions, Karma mostly plays minimalist psychedelic trance within the range of 140-145 bpm.
		However, given his love for progressive melodic trance on occasional nights he also plays under that influence in the range of 136-140 bpm, but prefers to restrict these sessions to club nights.

		In a small studio off Long Street in the heart of Cape Town, Tomas, a 20-year-old bank-teller from Slovakia and Adrian, a 30-year-old casting director from New Zealand, are bonding over their love of Canadian experimental musician Venetian Snares, whose credits include the track 'I am a Fucking Idiot'.
		Their musical preferences cover the broadest definition of dance - from Brazilian lounge music to Dutch minimalist trance via Glaswegian hip hop and Slovenian breakbeat.
		Peace and quiet are sorely missing, even in the toilets, where a stencil inside the door informs visitors 'There is no such thing as silence.' And they mean it - anyone using the facilities is greeted by the unnerving sounds of coughing and applause that are emitted randomly from a speaker stashed behind the loo.

		Without the parties, the tribal spirit and the euphoric dances into dawn, and the fluorescent dancers and doofers, trance would be destined to a lonely death.
		The progression continued, with the exodus into minimalist techno-trance spearheaded by DJ's such as Tsuyoshi Suzuki, whom many consider to be the world's greatest psy trance DJ.
		In direct contrast to this is the progressive style, which elects for a deeper sound and is allied with the progressive house style with a psychedelic slant.
