Save the last trance for me, p1992: subtitle (don't techno for an answer) Grove music online (Trance: A sub-genre of House music, especially popular in Europe. It began in the late 1980s as an offshoot of the rave scene, but was equally inspired by the early Ibiza sounds of 'Balearic beats' and the later German ambient house sounds of 'Teutonic beats'. The best works of early trance are noted for their use of soft electronic percussion and repetitive synthesizer pads combined with a fast tempo. By the mid-1990s, it had become more of an underground style and assumed a darker feel, as in the many compilations from Rising High records and the Platipus label.) Wikipedia, March 31, 2006 (Trance; trance music) Global tribe, 2012: ecip galley (Psytrance is a movement rooted in the live music scene of the 1970s flourishing in the former Portuguese colony of Goa, India, which had been overtaken by a seasonal DJ-led electronic music scene in the 1980s. Goa had attracted international travellers, artists and spiritual seekers since the 1960s, becoming an exotic outland of experimentation for musicians and expatriates in subsequent decades. It was the birthplace and proving grounds of a mutant dance music culture, which, by the mid-1990s, became marketed as "Goa trance". 2 Following aesthetic shifts associated with analog, digital and virtual music technologies along with transitions in taste and demand, Goa trance later developed as "psychedelic trance" or "psytrance", which splintered into numerous subgenres by the early 2000s) Wikipedia, Mar. 6, 2012 (psytrance; psychedelic trance) Saldanha, A.
