but the past 5 years I have heard nothing I couldn't easily create on my own PC with significant ease..

Either you listen to only the crappy techo/trance, or you should be making music yourself.. It doesn't take unique talent to produce music, reguardless of the genre. I could say the same thing about classical music, that nothing great has been done in the past 100 years.. Or pop music in the last 50 years.. I guess I just can't take seriously the opinions of someone who looks at a whole genre and claims there's nothing good only because %90 of what's produced now is not new.

Maybe I just have an unspoiled perspective of the genre, so when I come accross a good artist, I can see them for what they are, not how they compare to the rest of the artists out there..
