Bought it a few days ago. Good stuff from Armin.

i dont like... he's made better

Wow.

The vocal mix I would describe as being the exact reason why people say "Trance is going to shit". What terrible vocals. What the hell was Armin thinking? Plus this Racoon guy cant sing - sounds to me like hes off key the whole time. Atrotious effort, shame on you Armin.

The instrumental mix is better simply because theres no vocals. But cmon, could it be any more obvious that Armin is trying to produce exactly like PvD? It even sounds like a PvD production. Yikes. Plz Armin get some originality going.


If you put this tune in front of someone on here who knows their stuff, they would probobly say its a PvD track.

Desperate effort. 3/10. Not gonna even think of buying this rubbish.

BRING BACK THE COMMUNICATION DAYS

I would say the vocals are the only thing good about the release. Dull tune.

am i the only one who thinks it's an utterly shameless clone of agnelli & nelson - everyday?


Posted by Push2005 on Aug-22-2006 13:02:

This must be one of Armin's worst tracks till date.
This can't even be called trance anymore...

On top of that he does the same thing he always used to critique: He named it "Armin Van Buuren feat. Racoon - Love You More " Instead of "Racoon - Love You More (Armin Van Buuren Remix)"

For shame Armin
Your production skills have been going downhill ever since you produced Communication


Posted by StanVoid on Aug-22-2006 13:28:

This track sucks. Why? Well because Armin blatently ripped off PVD. Way to go. The whole thing sounds pretty much like PVD - Times of our Lives.


Posted by Nell on Aug-22-2006 14:08:

communication, yeah that was his best last release, but even so listen to the baseline.. can anyone say 'stolen from ferry corsten'.


Posted by Faust_UA on Aug-22-2006 14:13:

Male vocals sucks and this track sucks.


Posted by KAKAAKlol on Aug-22-2006 14:33:

vocals suck...


Posted by ElBazzo on Aug-22-2006 15:16:

Not really a fan of this tune. Heard it a couple of times live but its a bit too cheesy for my likings. He has remixed and produced way better songs than this.

YES! He should go back to produce some cool house again instead of making effortless "trance".

Melody is almost exactly the same. Bassline is taken from every PVD tune made in the last 4 years. All that being equal its a decent party tune and it gets crowds singing it especailly on the continent. Its very much cheesy commercial trance though much like the vocal mixes of Shivers were


Posted by Braxen on Aug-22-2006 17:09:

The original Racoon song ftw, now thats sweet

Indeed.


Posted by Col on Aug-23-2006 20:00:

Hmm, wow.

Just checked this out.

I remember hearing Armin play it at Global Gathering and I was curious about it - sounded really nice at the time, I looked around and it was hitting peak of the night and I was just sat down chilling out, really hit the spot.

But now I listen to it again, yeah it's just a big mess.
The vocals are really awkward...and as for the track as a whole, it just doesn't seem to go anywhere. You're waiting for a climax and it never comes - which is unlike Armin.

I dunno what can be done with this, maybe a killer remix?
In retrospect though, I actually think it's probably a lost cause.
Shame.

You obviously haven't heard his house productions under the Gimmick, Wodka Wasters (with Olav Basoski) and a few other guises then.. apart from Communication and a handful of other older trance productions in the past few years he hasn't done too much trance which would stand out from the grey masses today.


Posted by Mycron on Aug-23-2006 22:25:

Problem Boy - Self Control actually was one of my favourite house track back in the days, which was produced by Armin.

well-said. At least someone knows what he is talking about. Armin as a producer is nothing great whatsoever the last few years. I dont see how you can even argue about that.


Posted by Dj Minaya on Aug-23-2006 23:10:

I agree with whoever said this track really goes nowhere


Posted by pvdAngel on Aug-25-2006 10:33:

The tune's really good but not too keen on the vocals. I've heard worse.

Good work.
