    From what I found on youtube that guy's music sounds pretty similar as Trance already sounded when I was at the loveparade (or other techno parties) during the nineties.


    Well, indeed not "hardcore" or "heavy" trance in any way, and yes it's a reflection of the "nineties" in a way. And that is perfectly in within my personal scope! :-)

    This spring, Armin van Buuren celebrated 550 online broadcasts of his "A State of Trance", and made a world wide tour out of it. There were big performances in several cities; London (UK), Moscow (RU), Kiev (UA), Los Angeles (USA), Miami (USA), and Den Bosch (NL). Beside Armin himself, there were *many* great music producing DJ's invited to play at all these events, see the list here:

    I listened through most of it, and this was my favorite: Armin van Buuren, Day 2, Moscow:

    I kind of liked that! :-)

    For what's currently going on on the electronic and experimental side I suggest the releases by Kompakt (Cologne based label), most of the stuff they release is rather good. But it's not exactly Trance, rather modern Krautrock/Ambient.

    Some typical examples:

    Thanks for your suggestions! :-) That first link was in both audio and video quite cool. It kind of reminded me of computer "demos" back in the days. Very cool that way! :-)

    Ambient isn't really my cup of tea though, and doesn't really represent "evolution" of the electronic music genre for me (like you suggested I think), rather kind of a fork. ;-)

    Anyway, taste differs.


    That's what makes the world so beautiful! :-)

    Anyway, it's not like that I don't appreciate some "metal". I love all old-school Iron Maiden stuff, and all the other classic bands. I also listen to Rammstein (although I don't like all the political lyrics, but that's easy enough for me to ignore, since I don't understand German that much (only a little)) :-)
