Thems fighting words, Wu! Back 'em up!
It's quite simple really. Trance is all about the sense of drifting into space whether it's through some emotional high or uplifting vibe with the repetitive hook and its minimalistic progressions. Most video game songs don't translate well to trance at all because how they are originally written and composed. I'm not saying that the OCReMixes that are submitted as trance are poorly made. I'm just saying as far as the trance genre goes, I just don't really feel like I'm in a trance or drifting about space when I listen to any "trance" OCReMixes. Video game songs just aren't really fit for that. A good example that actually translated well to trance is SFLaValle's Devil's Mask from Ninja Gaiden. Also see just about all of bLiNd's more recent stuff for the more euphoric vibe.
This I have to agree with. I love great trance but it really is hard to dance to without looking like a fool. Especially when the dance floor is not crowded. Trance is all about the atmosphere and if you don't enjoy listening to it by yourself, you definitely aren't going to really like it if you're at a trance club and it's not packed. First trance show I went to had 30,000 people. THIRTY THOUSAND. Made it fun as hell. No room to dance really but how do you even dance to trance really? You just sorta rock out with the masses. House works so much better for fun times no matter what and this is why I have expanded my digital crate to more than just trance. House calls for great times and lots of dancing whether or not the floor is packed. Also who doesn't love funk?
