alistair …the early Euro stuff was the only ‘trance’ I appreciated (and bought) tbf, Jam & Spoon, Cosmic Baby, Eye , Dag, Harthouse, Dance 2 Trance etc. Doesn’t alter the fact that much of it it isn’t particularly inspirational listening back now.
‘Stella’ was a high point… and there wasn’t much really innovative stuff after ’93/4 (Hardfloor and some of the Zoom stuff was classified as ‘trance’ after that time, but isn’t really what we’d categorise it as today).
In the same way a lot of the early prog still sounds decent, but the faster, trance-ified stuff that came later sounds really fucking dull now.
