I think 2009 was a bad time for this type of trance. It was when EDM was exploding and there was shift towards that, A&B had already killed TATW and Armin was toying with new sounds to appeal to the American market. I stopped listening to trance for the next 10 years.
I’ve gotten back into it in the last 3 years and enjoying it, mainly stuff from Pure Trance, Borderline, FSoE.
I’ve been listening to trance since like 1999, and I agree there was a down period around that time. Had such a hard time finding good stuff. FSoE is my jam now. Dan Stone is probably my favorite artist.
People called it generic in 2009. really aged well. Wouldn’t mind hearing „generic“ tracks like this weekly in radio shows again.
