I saw him in Amnesia, it was heaven !
well, unfortunately never got to see picotto in amnesia, but yes, i also wish that time back! the trance at present time is getting a bit too soft for me in a way...
here in switzerland (and also in germany i think) the following happened: around 2001/2002 trance was quite hard and fast...became even harder and faster. then in 2002, it was the first time i heard someone talking about "hardstyle". so, out of trance/hardtrance splitted two styles: the (for me absolutely annoying) hardstyle (which is unfortunately quite big right now in switzerland/germany/italy) and the good old trance...but as a reaction to the banging hardstyle (ah, such a sh*t), trance got softer...that's the way i see it here. really liked it before hardstyle came up. and i hope, the real euphoric (and not too cheesy and soft) trance will be coming back (it's quite rare at the moment in my opinion).
for 2005 i also think house might become more progressive and dirty (like tiefschwarz etc) and techno will be big! don't really like that electro stuff. and of course, i'll still love trance (but dream of less cheesiness)...
