Trance is a form of electronic dance music typically having a tempo between 130 and 155 bpm and having characteristic short melodic synthesizer phrases. Though claims exist that the term trance was derived from the 1981 album Trancefer by Klaus Schulze, the name for the music style is popularly associated with the ability to induce an altered state of consciousness similar to the effect caused by music created by ancient shamanists. Trance also exhibits the features of industrial, house, and techno.
