Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Armin van Buuren: Wii loves trance ..... or else

Dumb question -- what the heck is Trance?

Maybe being a middle-aged American has made me simpleminded, but I have never heard of that musical genre/style before this thread.

I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble.

This answer could have many layers, to make it really simple:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trance_music
http://www.last.fm/tag/trance

That'll at least give you the basics. My love is progressive house/progressive breaks, but those links are a lot more "big picture".



BAM! There it is!

For all those out of the loop as to what trance is, these are a couple of my favorties:

 

Age of Love - Age of Love

 

Future Sound of London - Papua New Guinea

 

And here is an old thread a dug up about VGchartz member's favorite trance songs:
