The fact that he used aliases to produce a "more to the roots" type of trance for the past years, shows that "Armin van Buuren" is more of a brand than a DJ.

Could you list the guises and tracks that he did with this type of project you speak of? Unless the tracks he made with this field sucks, then nevermind don't mention it.

well thats just it though he admits its not his taste, hes simply an entertainer pleasing the crowd... by his own admission.

Well, the question is whether he would mention Trance as his taste if he would be a DJ playing mainly Ambient.

I often get the impression people look different at DJ's as DJ's look to themselves. In the Dutch vid Armin says he doesn't want the crowd to see him while the DJ before him is playing as respect for that DJ. "Stars" don't do that, they mostly are convinced they are GOD.

Some ask why he doesn't make ambient, but liking it doesn't need to give the desire to make it. Imagine he would have liked e.g. rock.

Yeah, I get your point. If he loves ambient music so much, why hasn't he ever started an ambient side project?

because its hard and time consuming. probably more the former than the latter - but that'd be why. He would have to do something outside his formula and that would be daunting.
