Still... this release was decent. What happened after that is anyone's guess...

Just a bunch of haters on here as usual.
Yes the song is cheesy and we've all heard it a trillion times.
The duo acknowledges this is a crossover record, and as such it's done very well - all the Dance radio stations in America supported it, and it went Top 20 on the UK charts.
How many songs have you all released that people actually went out and purchased? that many of the major DJs played? Aren't some of you only associated with Tech House and minimal crap anyway?

It takes a lot more effort to produce an "Anthem" then it does to produce a minimal track that's going nowhere.

That's almost full coverage of clich�s. Just like Anthem.

I'm not usually one to participate in the typical TA bashing, but Anthem warrants it. Just listen to it all the way through and try not to cringe. If they want to make DJ Sammy / Cascada / Crazy Frog music and get famous and make some $$$ on downloads and touring good for them - but all cred goes out when that acoustic guitar break of the anthem comes sweeping in.

for the record, I very much enjoyed their song 'In Your Face' as well as remix of Marco V's Godd, as well as some other songs of theirs in the past.

What is it with this dichotomy? Either you like Trance, or more specifically, Anthem, or you like monotonous minimal clicking...it doesn't quite work that way.

I highly doubt it's merely a group of pretentious minimal enthusiasts and Trance haters who are bashing/bashed on Anthem- it seems to have received criticism from across the board, with a portion of it likely ranging from even the Trance crowd.

The track is slightly above terrible, and I'm not saying this from a Tech House/Techno/Minimal perspective, but rather from the perspective of someone who simply listens to/enjoys Dance music.

Originally posted by G-Con What did they do? Just a really bad set, too cheesy? Curious as I was gonna go to this but didn't in the end...

Yeah, there's not too much detail to go into, in my head it seemed to be a couple of hours of Anthem and Going Wrong.

It was a shit night from the outset, however John Askew did a 5/10 set. The destruction of atmosphere that Kevin and Perry achieved was incredible, was like a Butlins night at a local Luminar Leisure gaff by the time they finished at 4 for Schossow.

Impossible to take seriously. God I hate them.

Definitely no.

Sounds like a good night

I think the vocal does WAY more damage than the guitar break tbh

I completely agree... the vocal makes me want to swallow my vomit and die.

Their early releases on the asot label are excellent! Whirlpool - Under The Sun is a fucking classic.
They are great producers but they havent done anything good in years

Man, i always hated Filo and Peri, i even remember a time when i used to bash their records here on TA and receive immense amounts of flaming in return (lol). Truth is, that whilst most of the records were generic as hell, there is this one tune i used to like, the b-side from their 2004 release I:95, "Spectrum"...






Whilst it sounds like a typical generic melodic trancer today, i believe that back in 2004 "spectrum" was one of those records that marked the small 2004-2005 comeback of instrumental trance (which was relatively small in the previous 2001-2003 "progressive" years).

Fuck those pricks!

Basshunter - Now You're Gone was the UK number 1 for like a month, that alone shows what a useless bunch of prats the general public are.

To once again illustrate my hatred for Anthem:

For Filo & Peri it's not about selling millions of records, but rather spreading dance music to the masses; thus making it mainstream.

Sure, they're just trance volunteers - evangelizing trance.
Completely PRO BONO.

But going mainstream doesn't mean the music has to be compromised.

Rly? You must have went to "Tiesto's school of trance".

"It upsets me when people think that when a scene heads to commercialism the music sucks," says Filo.

"Good music is good music and it shouldn�t be judged by the amount of exposure it gets.�

True. Oh, wait - we're talking about "Anthem"? Nvr mnd.

+1 , Totally forgat about that track (Solar Stone rmx).

I think its that LOGIC 5 fault, PVD is using that app too and look how creative he is in the past 6 years

I predict this album will be shit. Anthem was terrible, I never want to hear it again. Filo & Peri need to stop this nonsense and go back to producing simple but excellent tracks such as Spectrum and Taxi-Distance.

To hear those tracks and then hear the likes of Anthem is honestly upsetting. To hear how what once was talent, now producing garbage.

There's dance radio stations in Tennessee? Wait let's go even further, there's dance radio stations in America? I like your America.

It's not uncommon to have dance stations in various cities in the US, depending upon which city, I suppose.

There's one here in San Francisco, and granted, they play the poppiest of the pop, but it's still a qualifiable dance station.

I figured there was one in SF

The greatest dance station ever created used to reside in Los Angeles, and I'm talking DEDICATED station...not this dance programming after 10pm shit.

RIP Groove Radio.

Never mind any criticism for anthem or any of their other recent crap tracks. Inside the interview they clearly admit... if we can make money and get girls making pop-trance, we will.

Maybe the album should come with an idiots' guide to selling out?

well, playing a devil's advocate here - there's no money in trance, tbh. unless you're a biggie like tiesto, pvd, armin, etc - making a living doing trance is rather not an option for many. so, while a shift to pop is probably more profitable, perhaps one should consider releasing it under a diferent moniker?

Daniel Kandi makes pop records, I don't see much DK bashing going on...
