Yeah, i know man

I still listen to modern music though, just not EDM heh

Not necessarily the internet, more the culture of instant gratification which runs with it.

There is still so much older stuff to discover, you simply can't have heard it all.

This week this track made me happy: Phrenetic System - Transformer (2002)

You get delighted by the simplest things, don't you?

Eye Q and Harthouse were amazing labels.

I haven't found any new challenging, fun-to-listen-to electronic release in the past forever, so instead I've been going back instead, (re-)discovering classics like Prodigy's Experience and various EyeQ releases and such. Even the today-monotonous Tiesto used to have a lot more variation in his stuff than today. I mean, compare In My Memory with all the unique themes to the cookie-cutter Elements of Life.

Generally, where has all the inspiration gone? Are there any artists left who actually dare to make their own sound or at least deviate from the norm? Nobody would make an album like Experience today - or even extremely self-indulgent trance like System F, which at least was fun even if not very engaging.
i feal your pain man,I'm in my 30's now and so i remember the prodigy and the 2000 trance era well.but i believe all it takes is to here that one goose pimple track. and all faith is restored

that only becomes a problem if you indeed 'grow up', whatever that means.

i know old people who still have the adventurous, youthful spirit, and i know people who are 40 who are pumping their fists next to 16 year olds at pvd concerts
