Sven Maes & Johan Gielen

These guy's have been producing a lot of hits for the past few years & people don't credit them like how they credit all the other producers. y y y

What, the fact that we don't post about them doesn't mean we don't credit them. Anyway, they are nothing special, IMO.

Their best works all came a long time ago when they were shit hot, tracks like

Balearic Bill - Destination Sunshine
Airscape - L'Esperanza
Airscape Remixes (mint ones) like of Chicane - Halcyon, Tiesto - Sparkles, welcome to the dance, vengaboys track and Lexicon 4 - Reach Me and the huge one of Delerium- Silence
S&G - Beauty of Silence & Twisted

Since then, I've not really been impressed, bar the remix of delerium - after all

Cookie cutter shit for simple minds.

They have made some absloute classic's but not for some time just compare L'esperanza to the shitty remix of wendy philp's stay. I really carn't bealive it's the same artist.

I liked "Pacific Melody" and "Amazon Chant" by Airscape as well as a couple of older remixes by them. However, they quickly grew into some of the least innovative producers of electronic music around, overusing an already generic synth in every track.

ian's list is fairly accurate in my taste of what i liked with them, and yes they made excellent stuff and they had a special thing working, until one day they found that they could make more cash raping their sound than being original. that's why in the days as svenson & gielen, you could hear loud & clear rehashes in many tracks & remixes. it is a shame, but we always have the good years
