i have this compilation as well and it is a damn fine one if i may say
so.....
goes back to the time when there wasnt much of a difference between trance
and techno, when trance wasnt a dirty word. hell, there are even UR tracks
that i call 'trance'...
what went wrong? i dont know..marketing maybe wanted to divide the 2.
or maybe trance appealed to ppl that didnt enjoy techno....or, maybe it was
the drugs.
trance was intended for ppl to space out to and evade into utopian dreams
of universal love etc while techno developed into a more of a dystopian
urban and post-industrial aesthetic.
just off the top of my head,
fab

oh wait...are we 313ers still supposed to hate Trance? oops! I forgot that
"trance" was supposed to be taboo. a few weeks ago I was at a Dollar Store
and as I was checking out there was a CD display near the register. as I
spun through the terrible selection I came across a double CD compilation
on
Rising High Records called "The Secret Life of Trance". it included tracks
by Timo Mass and Jam & Spoon and it was only one dollar...so I bought it.
I
figured it would be good for a laugh or two. so while cleaning house the
other day I decided to put it on and give it a listen before throwing it
away, but ended up listening to it straight through. it's actually quite
good! (?) I apologize, guys. it was an accident and it only happened once.
I
swear! I feel so dirty. but at least it wasnt "electro clash"! :)
oh and regarding movement: maybe it's time to take it off of life support?
it's already made history and has it's place in our hearts forever. why
not
just let it go? Keeping a "version" of it alive artificially or in an
altered form would do nothing but tarnish the fond memories of what it
once
was. Have you ever had your favorite danceclub/party/event outlive it's
natural lifespan? it gets pretty sad at the end. examples: Lollaplooza?
Motor Lounge? The Limelight? Ministry Of Sound?
DEMF: Do Not Resuscitate
I have nothing against the DEMF/Movement festival or it's organizers. I
performed at the very first (where I was paid quite handsomely) and what
may
turn out to be the very last one (where I performed for absolutely free)
and
would gladly do it again if they needed me to, but if the only way to keep
it going is to make it an "Area One" monster rock show, then it's time to
let it rest in peace and take it's rightful place as a part of the history
of Detroit Techno.

and a trendy headliner would be good too.
I can see it now- "Now playing on the trance stage..."
