When I think of these tracks that aren't sure if they're trance or techno, I think about what Stacey Pullen is spinning these days. This beats in space mix is a good example: http://www.beatsinspace.net/audio/2006/aug15/bis081506part1.mp3
It's like the tracks start out with promise, a good chordy groove or whatnot, and then flounder in how they progress. I'm not going to bash kompakt or anything, but much of their music has that trance for techno people sound. (which is not to say that I don't own several records by them :)) -Gil > -----Original Message----- > From: Stoddard, Kamal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 10:15 AM > To: Blaauw, Martijn de ; kent williams; list 313 > Subject: RE: (313) RE: Neotrance (Was (313) EevoNext > presents: Terrace Unchained EP) > > Checked 'em.
