Trance is a musical genre of electronic dance music that arose in the 1990s ; generally qualified by a tempo of between 120 and 145 bpm, short repetitive melodic synthesizer phrases, and a musical form that builds up and breaks down within 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 pedigree of the term is uncertain, with some proposing 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 might be 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 likened to the trance-inducing music created by ancient Pagan shamanists during long stops of mugging up .
