GC Armin 8 hour review

For a start it was dead to the world compared to other events.
But that didn't stop me from having a good night.
Met many a wicked person as per usual, and some tunes i was hoping he would play, he played

Solid Globe - North Pole... i died
Solar Factor - No Return.. i died again

etc..

i wasn't in a very good mood at the start of the evening anyway.
I always usually dress cyber to crasher, and with this gay streets of new york theme, i didn't think there would be any cybers. But when we got in the queue, fuck me, a sea of cybers! So then i felt out of place..
And also after i rung crasher up asking about the camera's.
I asked what their policy was about camera's for this event seeing as it was plastered on a flyer that no camera's, camcorders or digital capturing phones. They told me no camera's whatsoever allowed in the club tonight. so we didn't risk taking one. Then we see ever****** with them... grrr

Anyway, got loads of coursework to finish for tomorrow now lol

wen i listened on hallam his mixing left summit to be desired.....also he played afterburn - summer sun (which sounds like an A1 tune - it reminded me of thier version of take on me lol ) er and b4 1 am he had p[layed 3rd earth, nothing but you and firewall sincere not sure wot he did towards the end.....but wen i listened wasnt overly impressed..still wud of luvd to of bin there...oi hear he played ligaya at about 5.30 aswell TUNE....o well...so cum on wot wtunes was he playing at the end?

Posted by DJ Mikey Mike on Apr-27-2003 14:46:

there was nothing wrong at all with his mixing. Infact, come 6am, for a guy who had been spinning for over 8 hours i must say his mixing was insanely good. Hmm.. ligaya werent played either, and the tune afterburn - summer sun is a remake of an old classic i cant remember the name of. i dont no why u dont like it coz its mint. i could be wrong but id say u just hav summing against armin coz the tracklist for set that u heard (which i will paste below) has some amazing tunes, and if the same set was spun by say matt hardwick for example, i bet u wouldnt be saying it was unimpressive:

I was standing next to Tom from goldenscan when he dropped this, his face was priceless

And to think I could have gone to this.....

POS - Remember. I would have died at this tune! It's sooooooooooo good!
Three Drives - Air Traffic. dosnt need explaining
NORTH POLE.....Tuuuuuunnnnneeeee!

In all fairness, that is a heck of alot of good tunes! Kinda upset I missed it. I did hear a few badish mixes, but they were corrected quickly....which I think anyone can live with. Hes only human, and if Mikey says that his mixing was still good at the end....well done to the man. Role on PVD!

and jeff - a thanku...i know im not the only one who felt this - alan u was pissed out of ur face so ur opinion is therefor void

Posted by Biohazard on Apr-27-2003 21:05:

Why does this guy always spin the same damn know tunes over and over each other. In the second part of ASOT he alwys plays some amazing lesser known prog trance, which you never hear in his live sets
