The Logic Off Topic list

Here is my take on PsyTrance, Music is supposed to trigger feelings, a love
song might remind you of a hot date or something, PsyTrance Triggers certain
feelings for some people, just like the blues does for some... But the
beauty of Trance is that its more like modern art, unlike classical art
where you will draw a house and try to make all the details, Trance is a
painting that could mean houses in ones mind or anything open to the
"feelings" it triggers for others, its more or like abstract art, you have
to listen and indulge your mind and let it lead you without any
pre-judgment, prejudice, "for you 60's rock fan, remember those wild
concerts back then, was it only the music, or Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll",
For me, trance is like listening to harmonies that start forming "melodies"
in my head after a while "a state of trance", its a state of mind, almost
like having drugs but without the physical abuse...By my definitions any
Frequencies that trigger Evolving feelings is music, I don¹t care how its
made, isn't concrete music considered classical....
