Origins of Trance Germany is regarded as the birthplace of electronic trance music,[5] with the original melodic trance sound first appearing around 1993 in Frankfurt. The origin of the term is uncertain; one theory suggests that the term is derived from the Klaus Schulze album Trancefer (1981). The earliest reference to trance in modern dance music is British act The KLF on their 1988 track What Time Is Love (Pure Trance 1), on which the record sleeve is also annotated Pure Trance. Dance 2 Trance is also an early example of trance music, having first released single in 1991. Other schools of thought argue the name may refer to an induced emotional feeling, high, euphoria, chills, or uplifting rush that listeners claim to experience, while other suggestions trace the name to the actual trance-like state. The earliest forms of this music attempted to emulate in the 1990s before the genres focus changed. Some trace Trances antecedents back to Klaus Schulze, a German experimental electronic music artist who concentrated in mixing minimalist music repetitive rhythms and arpeggiated sounds.[citation needed] In truth it was really Sven Vath, his labels and others in the same group that saw the initial releases of trance. In France, Jean Michel Jarre, an early electronic musician,released two albums in the late 1970s: Oxygène in 1976 and Equinoxe in 1978.[citation needed] Also a possible antecedent, Neil Youngs 1982 electronic album, Trans, bears resemblance to the trance music genre.Another possible antecedent is Yuzo Koshiros electronic soundtracks for the Streets of Rage series of video games from 1991 to 1994. It was promoted by the well-known UK club-night megatripolis (London, Heaven, Thursdays) whose scene catapulted it to international fame. Examples of early Trance releases include but are not limited to German duo Jam & Spoons 1992 12 Single remix of the 1990 song The Age Of Love., German duo Dance 2 Trances 1990 track We Came in Peace. One writer traces the roots of trance to Paul van Dyks 1993 remix of Humates Love Stimulation. However, van Dyks trance origins can be traced further back to his work with Visions Of Shiva, which were his first ever tracks to be released.In subsequent years, one genre, vocal trance, arose as the combination of progressive elements and pop music, and the development of another subgenre, epic trance, had some of its origins in classical music.,with film music also being influential. Trance was arguably at its commercial peak in the late 1990s and early 2000s
