they must suffer from some severe insomnia.

maybe making "danceable" music isn't neccesarily always their aim. Whats wrong with that?

That is one thing I dont agree with. If they are dj's then they should be making danceable music. Although I find almost anything danceable so here I go contradicting myself.

good fucking point!

I think all this argument comes down to taste, anyways what is Andy Moor's best track in your opinion?

Posted by RebeL9 on Jul-25-2005 14:40:

the way I see it the BIG djs of today are divided into two paths. first we have the sleepy slow shit played by Holden, Fake, Holden etc. Then we have the utterly boring cookie trance played by A&B, Armin, Ferry etc with 2 min buildups, 5 min breaks with no beats (where everone can take a piss brake until the beat comes back).

thank God for techno and psytrance :X

you seem to be refering to the Sasha and Holden of 3 years ago. Sasha may still play some odd "sleepy" stuff (and once again i'll say i'm not enjoying at all his current style) but Holden?! he has gone electro-acid-crazy. and again, if they play those tunes in the dancefloor is because they think they're a bit danceable at least, and they might trying to achieve something else apart from dancefloor crazyness

as for Andy Moor, i enjoyed back then the first bunch of his collaborations with Leama, then it all went downhill being that major pile of wank the Ridgewalkers - Find remix the highlight. he has certainly more talent to produce than i'll ever have, and probably enjoys what he's doing (ie, not doing it for the money but for the fun), but i still think the last couple tracks i've heard of him (thankfully that was a couple months ago already) were totally shit.

I like most Leama and Moor stuff. 8/10 as a duo

nah im refering to the Holden of today, 3 years ago Holden did banging stuff like Solstice etc.

although Andy is talented I still think Leama is the main man.
he put out some good shit on Platipus.

as much as i enjoy solstice i still think it's hell lot less banging than what he's playing nowadays just because it's slower in BPMs doesn't mean it's less banging. anyway back then a major part of james' tracklists was already slow repetitive dark prog-house, so i can only reach the conclusion that you're crazy

what in hell is Leama doing these days, haven't seen his/her/their name around for a while without being associated to mr. Andy Moor

Sad but true. I want the old Holden back

edit: productionwise anyway. haven't heard enough livesets to comment on his dj'ing.

compare his set from Innercity 2001 with any of his sets today.
much more banging progressive stuff back then. SPQR - Society London. Such a MASSIVE tune :E

Posted by Floorfiller on Jul-25-2005 15:12:

some of you guys have become pretty overzealous with your comments. i mean, you guys know my tastes...i'm right there with you, but you guys are embarassing yourselves...

i agree with you on holden. saw him last a month or two ago and he was definately dropping ' danceable' tunes. In fact he dropped a souped up version of his 'nathan fake - the sky was pink' remix which really got the crowd going.

He is absolute cat shit. I can't stand his sound.

Posted by DJ Mikey Mike on Jul-25-2005 15:40:

I must be missing the joke here. Which is a bit odd, as it was me that actually posted it.

Posted by Kris G on Jul-25-2005 15:42:

You cant knock Andy Moor really in my book. For years he has had awesome releases with Leama, and now he has hooked up with the whole Armada crew he is producing more than ever, plus with his hands on Tilt (i really enjoyed the album), Whiteroom etc he is doing something each week it seems. Don't forget his absolutely stunning remixes on Baroque, esp. 'Find' by Ridgewalkers and 'Transatlantic' by Zamoura & Damnian DP feat. Padaley.

Must be hard with that kind of output to make as much variation as he does, i know we all know a few big producers who stick to the exact same tired sound. However i dont think Andy fits in this category.

lol no i just loved the "cat shit" thing!

Posted by Mike_Foyle on Jul-25-2005 15:49:

but i still disagree with you!

Posted by aK-M on Jul-25-2005 15:58:

like a few people said earlier, it all balls down to your taste, i wasnt even into new trance till early last year, i was stuck listening to 90's trance, but i have grown to like andy moor's tunes over the last few years, and those who dont like it i dont really give a F**k i actually made this thread for people who like his work not those who dont! enough said quit the fighting

Posted by umes23 on Jul-25-2005 16:06:

LOL. whoever made this thread should have guessed all of the responses ahead of time.

he is utter shit. he is fucking awesome.

the shittiest thing about andy moor is his whiteroom project which is really quite bad. having said that i think he has made some memorable remixes, and created some memorable sounds and i do like a few of his tracks a lot.
