I was hoping this phase would have finished by now, but it seems since 2006/2007 all of the big names now either fall into one of two categories; Trance or Minimal.
Ive listened to electronic music since I was 13, nothing else, just electronic (Im now 27). Ive gone through all the scenes such as house, trance, electro, techno etc etc.
I eventually realised techno was the genre for me, from the Detroit legends such as Jeff Mills and Kevin Saunderson right through to the harder European scene championed by Umek, Kanzyani, Marco Bailey et al. Also listened to the better produced sounds from the headliners such as Chemical Brothers, Massive Attack, Prodigy etc
Im at a loss. Ive been watching countless videos on Youtube of all the names I know, I just cannot find a genre I like anymore
I suppose Minimal does sound good in a big room with plenty of reverb, but on headphones or a home system it just sounds god awful. I need some music for my weight lifting sessions and nothing is doing it for me
Trance - I dispise now. I was really into it back in 1999-2003 but now just find it cheesy, repetitive engineered droll. It has no soul, despite its namesake.
Is this just me or am I not alone? Death to minimal, get off the damn bandwagon and get back to your roots I say.
