This music has lush electronically generated strings and brass mixed in with standard synth sounds. It can be arranged to hold a more classical structure, or with the right beat, become almost danceable. The genre was first brought into public eye by bands such as Kraftwerk, Jean Michel Jarre and Tangerine Dream. This music offered a new sound and writing style thanks to computer generated music, synthetic drum sounds and sometimes computer generated voices. As new forms of musical synthesis emerged, the genre expanded to cover more then stiff, often dry sounding music.
Trance music can be hard to pin down sometimes.
