Is Ferry and his sound the future?

Am I the only one who is VERY disapointed with Ferry's new CD? I mean there were some terrible songs on that CD. There were only a few tracks worth listen too. Are the robot vocals and 80's noices(which just blows to me) the future of trance? I sure hope not. Where u guys see it heading?

I thought his "Right of Way" CD was excellent, and this is coming from somebody who has said that Ferry's productions over the past year or so have sucked.

The album is very diverse with tracks that have sounds of uplifting, electro, ambient/chillout, and even perhaps drum & bass.

I fucking hate that stupid "electro-trance" sound, it just shits me

i like it, but it isn't the future imo. just his own style

I kind of dig the sound but I agree that it is not the next direction of trance. It is good to see Ferry moving onto new territory and creating something different.

That said, F. Massif - Somebody (Ferry remix or otherwise) sucks giant monkey balls because the lyrics are so lame. I also don't like what Ferry did with the robo voice in his remix, it seems like the voice does not go with the track. I sort of wish someone would make dub versions of this track so I wouldn't feel like a schmuck spinning this. I keep thinking maybe if the lyrics had been in Dutch or some language I don't understand I would not have this problem with it Anyway, this is slightly off topic, though this F. Massif dude is making the similar sounds as Ferry is now.

Filo and Peri - i 95

i dont know but when i hear that song for the first time i though "the future of trance" but what the fcuk (french connection u.k. yeah you get it) do i know, that song could be 10 years old.

please someone flame me.

I think Ferry is heading for the right direction with his innovations in Trance & I hope he continues that way. I mean atleast he is creating something different than say the typical kind of trance, ex. uplifting,melodic etc.
But I do agree that the robotic vocals that he uses are rather annoying like in his Conscious remix & Somebody.

Quite different indeed...

It took me a while to adjust to Ferry's new electro sound, tracks like Right of Way and he's remix of Somebody are awesome - its good to see Ferry making he's own sound and not fully sticking to the fluffy uplifting old trance formula. All the best to him.

well just cause hes been known to be a trance producer in the past doesnt mean he has to stay that way... hell tiesto use to produce hardcore/gabber before he did trance...
though maybe its completely differant from what everyone is use to im really liking it... it show diversity and originality which is a good thing...
and besides... hes not specifically making muzic to please everyone... he produces the style hes happy with... and if you dont like it then eh... hes happy so who cares

if it is the future of trance, why arent we hearing other artists come out with similar sounding tunes? would you agree that some artists might think that to go in that same direction would only mean being labeled as a ferry 'sound a like'. as much as i love the new sound, it almost seems like its dead in the water.

I love Ferry's new style and it's definately a style that isn't "empty" or repeats itself from previous years

I kinda like electro trance, maybe it reminds me when I was a child and listened to my older brother's music

If you don't like it then don't listen to it. You can always listen to some of his older production with the typical dutch supersaw sound. IMO it's great that the producers evolve their sound to something of their own. Now Ferry has got his own style and soon when there will be a million tracks that sound similar to it he can change it again. Trance music and dance music in general evolves. Just try to live with it!

I think you'll find the most commercial sound at the moment across all genres is electro infused stuff.

He's just selling out, thats all.

Riiiiiiiiiiight......

I like the new sound. It's unique.

Posted by MoonMan on Mar-30-2004 17:12:

Ferrys electro mission does nothing for me at all. Im impressed that hes moving in his own direction etc, but even now uplifting trance is evolving.. Theres plenty of tunes that dont use supersaw leads, but are using other elements, and are still epic and uplifting.

Posted by trancintaiwan on Mar-30-2004 17:13:

well the thing with ferry is that he uses tons of aliases. so he's actually still had a good number of purely uplifting trance tracks that he's produced... just under different names. anything w/ moonman (even tho they're a lil older) or if u check out ferry corsten vs. thrillseekers - sublime

If he'd stayed with his style, everyone would start complaining "meh, all his musics sound the same". Now that he's turning to another direction, people say "meh, his new sounds suck, he should've stayed in his older thing".
Arrested for having a cat, arrested for not having, as they say around here

BTW - I like his new musics. I like Right Of Way.

Posted by Syeker on Mar-30-2004 18:17:

Ferry will keep changing his style but still will produce his old school stuff (Kyoto).

Posted by TrAnCeAkI on Mar-30-2004 18:20:

i wouldnt think so, for me im already bored of that electro type sound and vocals! he uses them in every tune he makes/remixs almost!!

Posted by n0bben on Mar-30-2004 18:24:

if that is the future, then i'll live in the past.
