Re: Trance
I should have mentioned I hate Trance as such
I`m into Dark psy and have no issues with that.

Re: Trance
If you say trance is shit without saying why this track is shit then you are a retard with no discernable reasoning capability and so are not someone i can waste time communicating with.
(almost cheating because Hans Zimmer/Klaus Badelt have to take much of the credit for this one):
Any attempt to address me without explaining why, in a reasoned intelligent way why this is shit, is cowardice and proves that you are a retard with no discernable reasoning capability and so are not someone i can waste time communicating with.
I gotta laugh at what people call trance in this forum.
To all the stupid 'elitists' who think they are John Peel or that for something to be good it has to have bare vibes or some other equally stupid shit:
These guys think that you are all utterly soulless masturbating teenage wiggas, who listen to electric farts and think you are hip.

Re: Trance
What the fuck relevance do you think your preferred style means? WHO GIVEs A FUCK?
You have to explain why the tracks I have posted are shit. Or you are a person who thinks that their flawed subjective opinion has OBJECTIVE REALITY in a universe the term objective reality itself is not easily defined.
By the way the tiestio 1 is a trick. Because I know your type of idiocy will see tiesto and think ahhh i can say he is shit. But you have to now say why is his interpretation of Hans Zimmers pirate score is shit. Why his 64bar melody is shit, why people go FUCKING MENTAL at venues when this gets played. Is the music bad? Is Hans Zimmer bad?
EXPLAIN YOURSELF!

Re: Trance
So not one single sentence fragment of an argument from ANYBODY! I'm used to winning debates but this is ridiculous.

Lol, yeah. I obviously don't think all trance is shit, but Tiesto is a fucking joke.
I'm starting to think maybe I should just stick to the psy stuff.

64 bar melody is not an achievement
its a length of time
melody is cheesy and unoriginal
people go mental for that for the same reason they go mental for ungodly awful cheesy filth step remixes of pop songs --- familiarity + typical rave bullshit aesthetic
people don't really give two fucks whether something's good... they want to hear what they already know, can hum along to, its a novelty to hear a raved out version of the pirates theme.
I fucking hate novelty music.. whether its an orchestra butchering "Black Hole Sun" or the fucking Postal Service, or a half-step star wars theme remix
Same reason i can't stand Girl Talk
a lot of people who get value from that music don't seem to appreciate the originals, either. just "they made that Johnny Depp song so filthy YES!"

'cheesy and unoriginal'
Given the constraints of music at 130bpm i think its a decent reworking of the score genus. Technically i dont see a reason to call it 'cheesy and unoriginal'. How would you do it in a manner you would not call 'cheesy'? There are only 4 1/16 notes per beat. Also there is very, very, subtle some vocal effect processing in the background which is not really reproducible, i dont say that about many tracks. I disagree entirely that it is cheesy. The fade out from the classical score and into the trance lead is very nice in my opinion. The bass sound is excellent, nice choice to make constant driving 1/16 note. The note spacing in the melody gives an off-beat drive to the whole thing.
I have transcribed some of the pirate score and the the tiesto version so i dont think i would describe myself as, nor would i write of entire swathes of humanity with:
'people don't really give two fucks whether something's good... they want to hear what they already know, can hum along to, its a novelty to hear a raved out version of the pirates theme.' Or: 'a lot of people who get value from that music don't seem to appreciate the originals, either. just "they made that Johnny Depp song so filthy YES!'
You havent really listed any solid technical reasons why it is shit or cheesy, just basically your opinion.
But at least you made an effort to explain.
That is one track, what about Tuvan?

Re: Trance
no, i only take shots at the novelty tracks
pirates of the caribbean... ffs.
i get the appeal but i don't share it
i generalize.. its inaccurate but also one of the only ways to get along with a discussion.. bc its more or less true
i don't dig the other stuff but it doesn't bother me like the way people go batshit for a reworking of something in a rave context
the novelty and familiarity is all that matters in that case
its pure cheese.
in my eyes its not unlike Girl Talk slapping Gucci Maine over We Will Rock You -- i just prefer Queen.
similarly, i prefer John Williams
that other stuff, idc about

Re: Trance
Wow, this thread just goes on and on and on, it has novel value but is ultimately going nowhere. It's the thread equivalent of trance music.

Re: Trance
music taste = subjective
all music is related anyway. Put your time and energy into mixing , making or listening to some tunes you do enjoy instead of talking about music you don't like. Everyone's better off that way
