If more of it was closer to what Oakenfold often mixes (see Global Underground 1 or 7) or Crystal Method or Dirty Vegas, I'd be more on spot with it but the crap they usually play at clubs as, as noted, fucking repetitive, for the most part.

That said, what I do like about trance, and the taste of a couple "deep house" and deep/prog trance channels on youtube, is that it's a perfect blend to focus on something else to for me. The better stuff is unrepetitive enough not to get annoying or drawing attention for that sake, but doesn't call for attention to the lyrics, etc. Has enough energy to keep me awake and focused, but in not screaming for mental bandwidth acts as a better white noise that allows me to _concentrate_

So yeah, I like it, but I'm bloody picky about what I like.

Rhythm is a dancer is one I've enjoyed. Also, Stereo MC's connected. Mortal Kombat soundtrack had an interesting selection of tunes basically being a Wax Trax showcase with even a Traci Lords (yes, that one) tune. Kinda surprised Psychosonik didn't end up on that.

Aside – while the first Psychosonik album is a better dance album, the second one is almost fucking perfect for either introspective listening or "study/concentrate"

(check out technojihad, and "welcome to my mind")
