-- G&D They Aren't All That
Pages (3): « 1 [2] 3 »

remember ppl...this is coming from teknoscaper...aka bedrock..the fool that we banned from being a jackass. He is too prog elite for us all.

I dont know i think for the most part G & D are pretty solid, i like their productions not all of them but most of them. I however dont understand the hype over their Beautiful THings remix to me it doesnt sound fresh, also the samee thing with their Motorcycle tune. I find As The Rush Comes in rather boring and the vocals don tso much for me, I also agree with the Filterheadz comment. I have only found myself liking two of their productions the rest IMO were crap. Dont get me wrong here though I love G & D to the fullest its just i can see where you wuold say that, and i think it does come down to a matter of taste on this one. Also dont forget their EM blew A LOT OF PEOPLE AWAY, so a lot more people are focusing on them now.

well kudos to a godd strted topic

and your opinion is as good as the next mans...

i dont agree of course....but then again i wretch at anything ferry corsten puts out i wretched at dj cor finjman venus and i wretched and svenson and geilen beachbreeze...mind you the latter are well produced..they are formula trance..that really has no different sound tham the trance sound sound back in '97.

and that is my opinion

and why should the be classified as trance? gabriel himself was a house/progressive house producer and dresden adds his touch of dance background to teh songs they produce...giving them a unique style of progressive/G&D ..hehe trance.

personally i have loved all there songs...bar lament..didnt liek it too much...but there style is so different and alot of teh songs are not geared toward dancin and raving tehy are geared alot towards listening and chilling...and where i am from that counts over anything else...great production..solid listenability...and overall beautiful almost folk music trance.

but thats my opinio so who cares ...haha
cause that is what it all comes down to with music..either you like or you dont..but if alot of ppl here seem to like...then so be it...maybe that is a good thing
just thought i would say my two cents....

I hope G&D say something bout this !
Where are ya BOYS?!?!! hehe

So true.. Their remixes of Bedrock - Emerald, Minimalistix - Into the Trees, The Roc Project - Never, and DJ Tiesto - Obsession are absolutely sick~!@~! As for G&D, they only get better and better every remix (Andain - Beautiful Things + Three Drives - Carrera 2)..

Originally posted by Nell i dont find any energy in any of their stuff tbh, only wave 3, and remixes by other producers of some of their other stuff.

Yet another person listening to prog and expecting "energy" Prog is not about energy, it's about the journey the song takes you on, and G&D tunes definately take me and many others on a journey.

best american producers/remixers

They don't particularly excite me, either. I like their basslines, but their tunes really don't have much else to offer. If I want atmosphere, there's plenty of better progressive out there.

not a big fan of G&D... b/c they are not my style... but i respect them as producers.. esp. j Gabriel

i still dont like em adn there is no journey in any of their tracks, theyre shite.

And what the fuckin hell is the deal with the overhype of their mindcircuse remix. PLEASE LISTEN TO THE ORIGINAL FIRST!!! you will see there is fuck all difference. get Jay's sleepwalker mix if you want to hear something that isnt an upbeat of the original. the sleepwalker mix offers somethign totally different. NO G&D mixes offer anything that alternative. buy some synths and stop only using drum machines and effect pads to remix!!!

oh and BT is by far the best american producer.

Agreed about the Mindcircus remix. The DJ Dazzle, Fred Numf vs. Etienne Overdijk, Jay's Sleepwalkers and Phunk Investigation mixes all beat it easily, for starters. Funny that the One For The Road mix was mentioned, though, since it's probably one of their most energetic and melodic remixes. All in all, they probably do get too much hype, but things are never done half-assed around here...

G&D are so overrated it sickens me...no i don't think they're horrible producerse but they are very solid ones...but there's nothing about their tunes that excite me or suck me in at all when i'm listening to their work. so what if they're so called "different"...does being different automatically mean its better than everything else?

three drves - carrera 2 : average
nalin & kane - beachball (G&D remix) : too boring and overrated
as the rush comes through: completely overrated...average song with horrible vocals IMO

only beautiful things, summer calling and mindcircus are worthy of all the hype

and BT in his heyday completely 0wns G&D

their sound is new and good.

>JM<

argue about what?

I think they've replaced Ferry Corsten/Tiesto as the strongest remixers out there.

not even close

gabriel & dresden remixes are nice. i've always like most of their stuff but you guys are overating everything they release nowadays.

thats my $0.02

I agree with the Carrera 2 remix, it's not AMAZING but it's ok.
Beachball is also good.
As the rush comes is right up there with their mix of beautiful things. Both IMO are just incredible.

welcome to "the world according to every random tard"

brought to you by tranceaddict.

get over it people, listen to what you like, doesnt matter what anyone else thinks. tracks arent made to satisify the musical tastes of every single person, threads like this are just stating the blatant obvious that a popular producer/remixer doesnt appeal to certain peoples taste. well, thats a given.

this section is called MUSIC DISCUSSION for a reason. if we aren't supposed to express our opinions about music and the artists that produce them, then why in god's name are we here for? mp3's?

Originally posted by Teknoscaper. just like to express my opinion that Gabriel & Dresdens productions & remixes aren't all that good (apart from 1 or 2) and that I think they're overated and the constant hype about them on this board is rather strange... Considering Josh Gabriel has done some huge stuff like Wave3 & his remix of Dido - Thank You, I think the majority of stuff he has done with Dave Dresden is a bit of a let down, and is in most cases, lacking in decent overall production finese. For example; the remix of One For The Road, is just simply boring progressive at a trance tempo. The production is quite shallow in my opinion. I don't understand the hype generated by it on this board. Is it suddenly because the trance crew has felt left out by the increase in popularity in progressive music, and along comes G&D who decide to make prog house for trance tempos, then suddenly they're the new trance gods? It is a curious concept, but I guess its much the same as the hype over Filterheadz late last year. Nevermind, its just my opinion... /cue misguided flame war...

I must agree with you...the hype is getting to me also...everyone was talking about "How good" the Essential Mix was and I found it to be a great disappointment, but again as others say music comes in all flavors not all of us appreciate the same flavor, so it is all a matter of opinion.

/agree with TuanAnh213..took the words right out of my mouth...but forgot to mention the essential mix was a /yawn

they are far from being my favs but I do rate them
their tracks/remixes are always worth a listen

Meh, some people wouldn't know good music if i kicked them in the ass.

I think Gabriel and Dresden are truly talented, and I love their style. Their tunes feel different from anything else out there, and they have carved their own little genre. Like their style or not, you can't argue the fact that they are talented and make a lot of people like myself happy.

i didnt even both reading the rest of this post because its only gonna be people flaming each other for having diffrent opinions. G & D please keep up the great work your mixes get regular rotation in all my sets!

I don't understand the people on this board...

Anyways, I really like G&D. They have their own sound and they have done some great work.

If you have a different opinion, fine, but substantiate it.

Everyone here goes on and on about andain's new track, then they dare criticize the G&D remix? Show some respsect, considering that Josh is responsible for the track in the first place.

And don't tell me their stuff is boring unless you actually know what prog is and listen to it. I understand that a lot of their stuff crosses over between prog and trance... however, if you're one of those people that thinks prog is boring, what right do you have to come here and say G&D suck because their tracks with more of a progressive feel are boring?

For example, I like their grayarea remix... it's creative, but it it is way too fast and the percussion isn't that great. However, it's still an awesome track, and it makes a great release along with grayarea's yewminyst on the flipside.

However, I can't really say I like their dj'ing. I only listened to a bit more than half of their EM (that's all that would fit on my minidisc) and I was definately not impressed. And I had the same opinion with two of their other sets I heard.

But they are still great producers...
