Trance today is pretty dissapointing

[quote]dom_moulton (12/09/2011)[hr]

When trance is long gone. When people have long forgotten how to make the style, Jan will roam a post apocalyptic world, carrying the book, the book that allegedly carries the secrets of how to make a good trance record.



He will encounter many who want the book. In particular, a descendent of Tiesto who runs the local township who will stop at nothing to get the book. Jan befriends a young woman and together they travel away but are caught. They are fired upon by Tiesto jnr the third and his cronies and he manages to get the book. He opens the book and there is nothing there… empty white pages. He goes mad and shoots everyone and himself.



Jan and the girl escape out the back and make their across the perilous wasteland to the last civilised area. The Ministry Of Sound is a guarded retreat where the grandchild of David Guetta is in charge. He asks Jan where the book is, hopeful to restore Trance, and save the world. Jan says he doesn’t have the book, but he can write down how to create a gigasaw patch and that’s the start… at this point we realise that actually Jan is blind… flashback scenes show this and how he had been reading it all the time… memorising the tips he had picked up on Sonic Academy.

Hold on Jan was a girl last time

LOL @ Dom - Classic Mate :smiley:

Love it.

. i was laughing my *** too watching Dom post too .classic Book of Eli reference.

Tbh I dont think you need to go back too many years for some great trance tunes. Everyone talks about the glory days 1999-2001, but like check out some of these tunes and you will see that there has been some awesome tracks in recent years, Selu Vibra - Divine, Dan Stone- Made in Bahrain, Nitrous Oxide - North Pole, Maor Levi - Shapes (Oliver Smith Remix), Sean Tyas - Lift, Thomas Datt 2v2. I could go on but it seems its just a bit slow as to what is doing well commercially, which is a shame. I really feel Ireland is flying the flag for uplifting trance, its great to see that the big irish trance djs are sticking to what they love. In Holland its very much tech trance and like the more commercial Armin style trance/progressive. Which is cool I suppose and I also love Markus Schulzes sound. I mean a bit more mellow and proggy can work but like Markus is the master of making slower tracks seem and feel very uplifting and constantly driving forward.



Also dom I would once again like to direct you to the get a life store, your gonna have to be quick tho, they are running very low on stock as ICN recently paid them a visit…

completely agree with you on this!!



the bpm’s on most trance tracks now make me want to fall asleep!!! that slow side chained bass!!!:crazy:



you have to really really look now to find a good track. they are there you just have to look a lot harder. now:crying:

Yeah lol that damn boring side chained bass, that does my head in. I suppose it is just having to look a bit harder. Its a shame tho, but I guess if this is the sound that sells im gonna have to avoid the beatport top ten lol…

Jan if you feel this way it’s up to you to either find a new sound or take trance in a new direction you think it should go in :cool:

Jan is an archeological adventurer who plunders sacred tombs for lost treasures. He is called upon to assist the uplifting trance alliance in locating the lost ark of the gigasaw, before the evil axis of tech trance gets its hands on it. He who holds the ark will become the most powerful man in clubland so Margaret Thatcher promises riches galore, and a permanent teaching position at the sonic academy in Ireland if Jan can help to retrieve it.



Jan travels to Tibet looking for a sacred glowstick and by pure chance stumbles across an ex, a fiery redhead who was an animal in bed. She drinks him under the table and escapes with the glowstick for herself. Jan traces her to Istanbul and bumps into an old friend, a rotund porn director. He offers Jan some work but Jan explains his urgent mission. The porn director tells Jan that if he puts a Tiesto Cd on a long pole in a special tomb that the Sun will shine through the cd hole and pinpoint the location of the sacred ark. Jan goes off and after a DJ battle in the market with some locals hooks up with his ex to find the place to put his Tiesto Cd. It’s an amazing moment, the shaft of light passes through the cd, splitting into a thousand multicolour lasers and triggering a cascade of arpeggios the likes of which no human has heard. Lo and behold, the location of the Ark is pinpointed. But alas, just as they find it, the tech trance axis drop the rope, leaving Jan and the fiery redhead trapped. Techno is heard rising in volume, ‘Techno?’ hissed Jan, ‘i hate Techno!’ so they flee the JVC gigatubes that have now surrounded them, booming distorted toms and 909 kick drums causing a life threatening cacophony. The ginger sees a crack in the wall and they escape only to find aged techno moody man Dave Clarke topless and bald headed, none too pleased to see them emerge near his private jet. A fight between Jan and Dave ensues. Dave the bigger man is slow and cumbersome whilst Jan bobs and weaves like a white Cassius Clay. A slip and Dave falls into the Learjet engine. Goldilocks grabs the control and they lift off, escaping the earthquake behind them that is tearing up the runway. As they fly into the sky they see Tower blocks, roadways and escalators with people on them losing the shopping they got at the newly built ‘westfield’ shopping centre. old, young, straight and gay … No one is spared except for Jan and his copper coloured concubine.



They fly for hours… You know this because you see a map and a bright line is drawn from starting point to current location. All of a sudden the engines die, there is no more fuel.



Luckily the earthquakes have shifted the plates underneath the earth and they glide safely into the car park at Pinewood studios where the Tech Trance axis are about to open the ark. Unfortunately for them they are captured and tied to a dancing podium. ‘dont open your eyes’ shouts Jan to coppertop. The tech trance axis prise open the ark. That very same beautiful cascade of arpeggios explodes from the box and the most amazing lightshow you’ve seen since jean Michel jarre at docklands engulfs everybody. Topless girls in fluoro hotpants appear and cavort in front of everyone. Jan can smell their CK One but resists, he can sense what is about to happen. The smell shifts… Turning into ‘obsession’… Jan knows this is the perfume of old people. Those youthful angels now grow withered and old, like an e drained clubber from 1988 would look now after 4 kids, 10,000 fags and a yearly membership at the electric beach. All of a sudden fire engulfs everyone except for Jan and ginger nut. Sander Van Dorn’s eyes melt and plop on the floor.



And then as if nothing had happened, the lid goes back on the box. Jan and the lady in red are safe and free themselves.



Epilogue:



Thatcher is pleased. She sits back and lights a Marlboro whilst the screen fades to show the Turnkey warehouse in soho, thousands of Roland jp8000 boxes stacked neatly, a new one being placed carefully at the top of the pile.

Firstly, I didn’t count your words before, I copied and pasted them into google docs and used the word count function. Secondly I have a 35 minute train ride home and it was a funny way to pass the time. I have plenty of good things to do with my life thanks Jan :wink:
