The trance bashing is always so interesting to me. It as if people
were to bash IDM because the Bowling Green sucked. Remember them?
There is a vibrant and very experimental trance underground - with more
culture and cohesion than I've seen at any IDM event. It's also
interesting that trancers don't trash IDM: like trance, half of IDM is
just rehashed ideas from 10 years ago.
The other tragedy is that IDM and trance have a lot in common. You can
hear it in recent "crossover" sounds from the likes of Bluetech,
Schulman & Gel-Sol. And you can even hear it in Polygon Window.

quite that open unless you go back 10-12 years before trance became the
monster it is (imo of course) today.
