I absolutely fucking love trance, though my current favourite is downtempo stuff. It is the most friendly large-scale group event genre. I think it's just that the way it all started keeps it going. Like how software just managed to coincidentally have the open-source movement early on and that shaped what it would look like. I think having PLUR get in so early really made it look like what it is today.

Also, I'm not wholly unconvinced that maybe more LSD-use would make us all so much better as people.
