Trance is a musical genre of electronic dance music that grew in the 1990s ; generally characterised by a tempo of between 120 and 145 bpm, short repetitive melodic synthesist phrases, and a musical form that builds up and breaks down throughout a track. It is a combining of many forms of music such as industrial, techno, and house. It is more melodic than Techno, and usually has harder beats than House. The parentage of the term is uncertain, with some advising that the term is derived from the Klaus Schulze album Trancefer (1981) or the first trance act Dance 2 Trance. In any case , the name is probably linked to the ability of music to induce an altered state of consciousness known as a trance. The effect of some trance music has been compared to the trance-inducing music created by ancient Pagan shamanists during long points of boning up .
