Lately it's about all I've been listening to. I'm tuning into shoutcast.com to hear those haunting/ethereal trance mixes. I love the stuff.
I would definitely put this in the category as influenced by 80's synthpop and the 12 inch extended dance mixes we used to love. Except nowadays the synthesizers are better programmed and the mixes are very well produced. Headphone stuff for sure!
Some of my favorites in this style:
Paul Van Dyk
Robert Miles
Andain
Corderoy
Markus Schulz
4 Strings
Gabriel & Dresden
Ian Van Dahl
And especially DJ GT mixes
