I think you're right. Mid-nineties trance was closer to techno and a lot
more melodic. The mistake would have been more forgivable back then. My
friend Eun used to play amazing mixed sets. (Now he's a doomcore dj though
and I know he would disown them completely). I'm not against the genre in
principal but somewhere it all went wrong and now I hate it even more out of
disappointment because it could have been so good and it went so bad.

And I forgot to mention - I was talking about Autechre at one point and this
guy described it as "trance". I ended up explaining the whole history of
techno to him <sigh>
