Trance addict!

Ok i'm a self confessed trance addict. This in no way states that i know everything there is to know abt trance, the artists, the albums, the beats, the melodies! but i'm hooked on to trance!

It was when i was in fyjc that i got hooked on! went to a loads of discs freqenting the now shut 'fire & Ice' .But it was also a time i was to be influenced by rock, metal(Esp death and black) and rap.
and well trance took a backseat then.
It was a time for linking park, eminem, GNR, black sabbath,westlife, U2, def leppard, cold play, moby, led zeppelin , jimi hendrix, queen, pink floyd, dire straits, nirvana,aerosmith, metallica and more to rule my world. My music dictated my group, my dates , my fav hang outs and my fav music programs!
Though i love to sing along too and also loved the romantic love songs ! man i knew so many of em that i could work up a chic just by singing ! ahh those memories!!! lol
So this was it, until maybe 2 years ago. I just got hold of a couple of gb's of trance, mostly commerical stuff. And that was it! though all of it was crap there was an instant curiousity in me to know more abt trance, listen to more trance and to know more abt various artists!
its been two years now listening to trance, though the start wasnt that great as i use to listen to a lot of commerical stuff .
it was later on i moved on to radio shows, livesets and yes still do listen to most albums of my fav artists!
my fav artists currently are armin van buuren, tiesto, Paul van dyk, oakenfold, M.I.K.I, andy moor, above and beyond, rank1, atb, BT, gabriel and dresdan, airwave, infected mushroom, astral projection, hemstock and jennings, markus schulz, 4 strings, robert miles, conjure one, and many more...
some of the radio shows i listen to include a state of trance by armin van buuren and trance around the world by above and beyond...
do listen to global dj broadcast and essential mix when i get a copy of it :).

just a couple of months ago i was thinking, my progression from one genre to another had halted. maybe i was right.... trance is upliftment, its emotional, it makes you dream, it puts you in a dream! its an anthem that has many followers across continents!
people who dig trance would swear by the vocal remixes of Gabriel and dresdan, the psyedelic astral projection and the anthemic armin van buuren's mixes!
And maybe my progression hasnt stopped. maybe it has just began. a journey into trance to explore its various forms, its various moods, its beats and rythyms!
Just like music changed me 4 years ago, its changing me again ! i dont have subsriptions to any forums other then trance!. i dont chk out websites for anything other then trance events happening all over the world. heck i even want a t-shirt which says "trance-addict" lol
Music has a power of its own to change people and that's exactly what the music i listen to has done to me!
I think i'm gonna be a trance addict forever! maybe its to due with me maturing(not joking, i`m serious:))..and around that time i settled onto trance. :)
trance-addict-forever!
