Most Complex track!

What do u think is the most complex and well produced track ever made?

my vote goes too:

Element Four - Element Four (Big Brother) produced by Paul Oakenfold

I agree with you on that one... it's really great... maybe not THE BEST... but it's awesome.

Listen to melodic goa if you like that kinda shit. Try Astral Projection - Heavens Gate; it's one of my favourites.

Also maybe Taste Experience - Highlander and Goldenscan - Sunrise (DJ Tiesto Remix)

Going by the number of layers/sounds you can hear in the track, my vote goes to :

Sasha - XPander followed closely by Second Sun - Empire (Original Mix)

Obviously a GOA track. Pick one.

C'mon, show BT some love...

BT - Somnambulist

Vocal edits are SICK... 6,000 and counting

But my personal preference has to go to "P A R I S", which is also quite insane... in a cheerful way!

obviously... BT has a higher IQ than any other producer of electronic music. the man is literally a genius and shows it in all of his productions, his least complex track is probably more complex than anything produced by anyone else.

BT - Somnambulist actually holds the World Record for the most number of edits in a song...

Posted by Radagast on Aug-05-2004 06:15:

You know I didn't say that because GOA is my favorite genre, which it isn't.

Posted by TweeK on Aug-05-2004 06:23:

Sasha-Belfunk

Leama - Labrynth (Dj Orkidea Mix)

For many years I've felt this tune is the most well-thoughtout and complex tune I've heard.The structure of the tune is really unusual,there are lots of layers and unpredictable twists.

Yeah...

And he appears to be such a nice, friendly guy too! That counts for a lot in my book... it's funny because he can come off like a surfer dude but when he talks tech, you know he's got game. He has a really generous attitude and he likes to share his wisdom with others.

If not just limited to trance, I'd have to name a lot of the hardcore coders involved with IDM/Braindance under this category. The microediting and minisequencing and all that shiznit involved is so labor intensive. Doesn't necessarily make for enjoyable listening though. Some -- a lot -- of that stuff, for me, is like "Hmmm this is interesting... to read about..." Of course, here come better programs to automate a lot of the functions and make it sound like you did a lot of work when in fact you clicked a button. Hee hee...

But what I like about BT is, even with the stutter edits, I can still hum the catchy melody! It isn't some rampant DSP-ops slugfest.

Simon Posford has definitely done some complex work in his own unique directions.

As other people have mentioned, either Sasha - Xpander or BT - Somnambulist.

Posted by IgnazZio on Aug-05-2004 09:00:

Sasha - Xpander

Posted by Reactic on Aug-05-2004 09:27:

I think Tiesto did also many quality tracks! Example: "Forever Today" and "A Tear in the Open"

Posted by MarathonMan on Aug-05-2004 09:29:

A couple of tracks off Sashas Airdrawndagger sounds complex, particularly Sasha- Fundamental.

Posted by BLuEOcEaN420 on Aug-05-2004 09:39:

*Sasha - Xpander
*Fire & Ice - Forever Young
*Fused - Terror (Max Reiche Mayhem Mix)
*Valentino - Flying Song (Sultan & Tonedepth Mix)
*Grayarea - Yewminyst
*Spooky - Little Bullet (Live Version)
*Sunday Club - Healing Dream
*Ordinary People - Mahatma
*James Holden - Horizon (Way Out West Mix)
*Blue Planet Corporation - Digital Forward
*Global Communication - Epsilon Phase

when i think of complex music, the names that come to mind are: Marc Mitchell, Charlie May, Way Out West, Sasha, Bt & Deepsky...

Oh BTW, I believe Andy Gray had a big hand in this too

Not to be confused with Andy Page, who is renowned for his technical talents and who is connected to several of the aforementioned.

Can someone please point me to more of Simon Posford's technical accomplishments? I'd like to find out more because interviews with him that I've found haven't been terribly insightful in this department. Thanks!

most evreything si begg does is complex... in a "this song is psychotic and will soon make you bi-polar" sorta way... lol nevertheless, a very talented artist.
