I've heard that comment few years ago when i was EAGER to explain to Lebanese club owners that EDM is the way to go...
They looked at me as if i was Crazy...."trance is dead they said"
Look at them now...
Cox played Tchno brother... which is the origins of Trance, the big dady of all electronic music... even house.
i believe house is being rapidly turned into Eloctro groovy, with a lot of Trance elements in it...
Trance is sooo wide, its an expanding medium with endless forms... there's just no way that it dies, its only gonna get reformed again and again. the difference between trance tracks of the year 2005 and 2006 is HUGE...
therefore, i can only say that your comment has no strong arguments to support it, and i'm afraid that it makes no contribution to the THerz that are about promoting the trance Scene.
W!SO
