Is it comparable to Touched?

I'm not going to defend Acosta, because quite frankly I don't know him, but it just strikes me as amusing how everytime something is released, someone points out that it's crap, regardless of what it is or who made it. So, he makes money, if you don't like the CD, don't buy it... just don't bitch about him making money. That said, he might be doing it for the money, one might not want him to, but still.. bitching about it doesn't help. Also, I'm still quite sure people will be saying the exact same thing about me when I'm older.. that everything I do is for the money. Blah... jealous retards. And yes, I am in a poor mood today... normally I'd just sit quietly on this and not say a word, but it gets to me every now and then.

im just saying man..it bothers me..cause i really doubt how much effort combining 12 cds in protools is.

True, but it has to be "good"... atleast good enough for some people, cause if no one likes it, no one buys it and it won't sell.. ergo, no Ferrari.

i like Touched better. but this is OK too, not impressive, listenable.

Posted by ceebz on Nov-05-2003 17:53:

Hmmm, I really liked Miami. Disc 2 especially. Some bangin' tunes on the second disc.

Posted by CrackedLcd on Nov-05-2003 19:42:

I agree with fmanolo. Touched was much better. It reminds me of touched the way one cd is uplifting and the other is hard.

How come Acosta NEVER plays like this when he comes to Denver? He always canes the fuck out of the cheese, nothing even close to disc 1. If he'd play like that I'd actually like him, as it stands he's just another Micro.

Does the cover have a pic of him doing a fucking jesus pose as usual?

Flame me if u want, but i actually liked the compilation! Not everyone gets to hear some of these tracks and sit on the internet downloading all day. CD1 gets my attention, but thats kinda what i'm into. As far as better than "Touched"......ehhh....maybe, it depends on the tracklisting and what 'you' like. Personally if the DJ progresses his style, i'll like it better than past works, but he sort of used the same formula here. "Next Level" was hot to me (a complete mix)

edit: yeah.....how come George never plays these types of tracks in his live sets???? particularly tracks from CD1.......his style is geared more toward hardstyle.
