I have been in love with trance ever since I listened to an old "Re-Activate" double CD 6 years ago. Then I discovered BT, the king of trance, and I basically had to get all his albums and anything else he has touched. People say trance has been done to death and it cannot offer anything new anymore. Well, they should listen to his albums in the order of their release and see how much he has changed his music over the years. He still plays trance, but his latest album is very different from his first.
Sure, a lot of trance musicians out there just keep regurgitating old loops and instruments, but isn't that the same with every genre? I mean, how many "grunge" (or whatever they call themselves) bands are out there right now that sound exactly like Pearl Jam? And how many rap artists have a truly unique style? You could pick any genre and say it has been done to death, but that would be incredibly ignorant. You just have to find the real gems among a multitude of mediocre musicians.
