“Chocolate Rain” short parody by JRO

Trance Music is just one genre of the electronic dance music that started developing back in the good'old 1990s. Often Trance music is normally characterized by a tempo of between 130 and 155 beats per minute or so with some short melodic synthesizer phrases and it is a musical form that just builds up and then down again throughout a music track. It is can be considered a combination of many different forms of music such as industrial music and techno a as wel as house. The origin of the term Trance Music is though somewhat uncertain. But there are some suggesting that this term might be derived from Klaus Schulze's album Trancefer release in 1981 or even the earlier trance act caled Dance 2 Trance. In any case you can see that the Trance name is undoubtedly linked closely to the perceived ability or whatever of music or music tracks to induce a trance or an altered state of consciousness also known as a trance in the listeners. The effect of some of this trance music has been compared to some of the trance inducing type music that was created by a long time ago bythe ancient shamanists during very long periods of extended drumming. Let's trance!
