By Your Side remixes get what they deserve from Xpander.nl

Good to know there's still sanity left in the dance music world.

Don't let the cynicism bias you too much, now.

Amateurishly written. The writer was obviously biased against these tracks and let it show all too clearly. Even though you didn't like the tune you'd need to elaborate why a bit more better than "To be honest we could not listen to this for more than a minute as it was predictably painful to the ear".

That "author" could use some intellegence.

i didn't read the article, but someone needs to say it. these mixes weren't very good...sonorous mix was ok, but i was really disappointed with the ronski speed mix...didn't do anything for it...

It's true.

Extremism on both sides, mind you.

i didnt find these mixes a great deal either. whereas there are some who do the 'omfg i die' thing

Posted by starstarman on Mar-20-2004 08:27:

Read the whole article, I couldn't see the author had given even one point to prove that how the tracks are "not good" but just "not his favorite".
Such criticism is just a waste of resources.

this vinyl worth any penny i paid for

Posted by Sjodalf on Mar-20-2004 13:33:

must say i agree with Floorfiller on this,
the Ronski Speed mix got too much airtime if you ask me, the Sonorous Remix is ok, but quite disappointed of Ronski's version..

tho, this article isn't very well written

Posted by noikeee on Mar-20-2004 18:39:

haven't heard ronski ones, but even if the sonorous mix ain't the most original track ever and gets boring after a while, it surely deserves a lot more than 2 out of 10

Posted by mcdpitt on Mar-20-2004 18:44:

disappointed by these mixes, thought they were boring and generic..

Posted by DJ Alex E. on Mar-20-2004 19:12:

i agree that the ronski speed remix was average.heard much better tracks from ronski.
the sonorous remix was much better IMO.

Posted by T-1000 on Mar-20-2004 19:35:

The Sonorous remix is definitely LOADS better than any of the Speed's versions

I actually liked Ronski Speed's remix, proud owner of the vinyl too. Oh well, apparently Ronski Speed bashing is in fashion today.

You actually think the negative reviews of the track are due to some mass pathological desire to bash Ronski Speed? Please!

Several of Ronski's produtions were trance landmarks. I'm Alone and his remix of Protonic, among others. But producers are not perfect; they often become lazy after success and recycle their sound.

Merit is due for productions that are good in and of themself, not because of whose name is on it.

Oh come on. One day it's Armin, then it's Ferry, then it's Signum and now it's Ronski. You'll notice how there is just some kind of culture around tranceboards which lead to a general bashing of a certain producer.
I will admit that the remix isn't Ronski Speed's best work, but it definitely isn't shit either.
I agree on the fact that you shouldn't review a track based on it's producer, but based on the track itself.

p.s. xpander.nl bashes every track that is trancey. They should review those if they don't like them. You won't catch me reviewing hardstyle either.

Were signum bashed too? Unbelievable!
