Ah, apologies. I see. - I wasn’t aware of Armin saying that.
Maybe there could be a catogory called something like ‘Experimental Trance’ but that also would have pitfalls, although with it I think, like the new system, the positives definitely out weigh the negatives. In reality, only time will tell how things turn out, but overall i am more optimistic now. Its great to see the effort that has gone into this. If (decent) Trance comes back as a more appreciated style of music, then its a wonderful thing. I think on balance this new change will really help. My dream is that in the not too distant future, a
Good trance track will enter the UK Pop charts. This would maybe both reflect and continue to boost the scene as a whole if it happens. - As long as nothing obviously too EDM ish gets mixed up with the ‘genuine’ Trance.
Its been around 20 years. But Remember…
Trends Usually Repeat Themselves This should give hope. 🫶
