A euphoric electronic dance music genre that's the love child of classical music, house & techno. In essence classical music for the dancefloor or 'the next generation of classical music'.
One of the most uplifting, beautiful, spirtual & at times religious types of music available today (although it composes today of a fragmented genre with many subgenres now available). Trance at times can be very ambiguous because of this fragmentation along with Trance remixes of contempary pop & rock music added for good measure.
Often symphonic / orchestral sounding in form it uses classical forms in melody & chord structure. Binary & Minimalist forms an example along with use of classical piano & organ. Fused with the four to the floor beats & rhythm structures of House & Techno. As such many classical composers & Classically trained piansts have fallen in love with the genre composing there own trance tracks either produced by well known Trance producers or by themselves.
Because of the similarities both Trance & classical music works can be converted or translated into versions of one another.
Although the Rhythms employ patterns more like Techno, Trance was termed 'Atmospheric House' at it's emergence by some.

The breakdown is often considered the heart of an Trance track, especially one of the euphoric variety & is often very emotional. It can either overcome the whole club with joy or make everyone spantaneously burst into tears, yes even with out the use of narcotics.

If only Vivaldi, Mozart & Bach could see what this has become now, they would be reaching for the lasers, glow sticks & there JP 8000 synthesiers shouting 'Trance Music!

Pussy-Trance

A Pussy-Trance happens when life is unexpectedly and sometimes terribly disrupted and/or turned upside-down, because you've become infatuated with a "She-Devil." Everything becomes secondary to this woman. She has literally become the center of your universe. Your friends and family can see it, but you are totally blinded to it, and completely hypnotized by her. This often happens to unattractive males, or guys who have the confidence of an old dog, that knows its moments away from being euthanized.

"Those Bouncers weren't paying attention, they' were all stuck in a "Pussy-Trance." He crashed his car because that jiggling, jogger, in yoga pants. put him in a "Pussy-Trance." "No dude, I'm staying home tonight. I really don't feel like getting sucked into a Pussy-Trance and spending all my money again this weekend!" Many a man has fallen victim to girls, using the magic power of the "pussy-trance," to drain their wallets and go home with someone else.

Trans-Pittsford Highway

Trans-Pittsford Highway (aka Mendon Center Road) is a North-South road. People from Mendon Center use this road to pass through Pittsford as quickly as possible on their way to all points North. The road’s posted speed limit ranges from 40 to 50 mph depending on the section, though people typically go 55 to 60 mph on the road. At one point, just past the swamp (aka Autumn Woods development), one must screech to a halt as Pittsford soccer moms turn onto the highway from Barker Road at 10 mph and then turn off again a few hundred feet later at Willard (as in the rat) Road, again at 10 mph. Pittsford wouldn’t be so bad if you could just pass through it more quickly. All those little boxes tend to make Mendonians ill.

“I hate those Pittsford soccer moms. They pull out onto the Trans-Pittsford Highway in front of oncoming traffic and then drive incredibly slowly. It's almost as if they are daring us, "hit me, hit me.”
