Trance music

Trance music to most is probably best described as noise and a drum beat. 130 bpms ([drum] beats per minute or more) with background (or foreground) sounds and vocals tweaked only the ways djs know how to do. I guess it is why most people need some kind of artificial influence to enjoy it. I however just enjoy the way two records come together and how the sounds can lift, drop, or turn you around. I have enjoyed this music often drunk or sober.

Today is the first day after a long weekend commemorating the reunification of Viet Nam and Labour Day. I caught up with an old friend and when I got home I thought listening to the newly acquired DJ Tiesto mix and some Tigers would be a good way to finish the day. It was nice to feel the ups and downs, the blend of music merging into the next track on the same key. The music is good (even though the quality of the recording is not) and enjoy it with a beer or two looking at the coconut trees outside my room with Buong (my Eric’s cat) hanging around deciding to jump off the balcony to catch lizards or not.

A great way to end a lazy day (waiting for Liverpool’s victory tonight at Anfield of course).
