Not so you can throw lightswitch raves!

Trance songs: so much love!
But must you have such lengthy
intros and out-tros?

On web sites

Your web site was great!
Find any song from a set
In two seconds flat.

Now, a redesign:
shitty format, no searching.
I cry for the lack.

Stupid Armin Van Buuren. He redid his site in the last couple of weeks, and now instead of being able to search for any keyword, track name, or artist and be immediately presented with all of the sets that match (out of his 350-odd A State of Trance episodes) you can only view the track list for the last 4 sets. WTF?

On Trance Remixes

Trance artists, take note:
speeding a song up does not
count as a remix.

Pfft. I was so excited when my weekly Trance Around the World radio show said that there would be an awesome new remix of Karen Overton's Your Loving Arms. Whatever, dudes.

On vocals in trance

Trance, I love you so!
But why the voice clips that sound
like yowling felines?

Trance sure is awesome. Especially vocal trance – you know, with actual lyrics and verses and refrain. But you know what’s NOT awesome? Vocal trance that just includes little snippets of random female voices making “eeyoo” noises or what not. Jesus it drives me nuts. A prime example of this is Andy Moor - Halcyon which literally sounds like cats meowing.
