That is definitely a most excellent story.
If trance didn't exist wouldn't be me. There are two totally different sides to my tastes in music. One is EDM, the other heavy metal. The crazier the better. It's like yin and yang. As a music junky getting into radio, I would be missing a part of myself. There would be a hole. Since it didn't exist, I would never know what would fill the hole and would never feel complete.
Without trance, I would probably be a miserable bastard. I mean it too. I used to have a horrible tempermant. The littlest things I would just snap at. Then I allowed myself to indulge in trance, and then I started exploring the genres, psy, drum & bass, minimal, happy hardcore... I found my outlet. A very enjoyable one. More so live.
I have tons of memories due to trance, many of which are simply great conversations with some people who are on here.
Trance for life.
