Dave Seaman - relatively underrated/unknown dj, or just unloved here?
While thinking about my post in the "famous" prog djs thread, I started wondering why Dave Seaman seems to be a rather underrated/unknown dj, at least on these boards. I'm trying to figure out if that's because he's not that well-known in general, or if this board doesn't enjoy the type of music he spins. I've always considered him to be one of the best djs in the world, yet his work (both mixes and production under all aliases, mainly Brothers In Rhythm) seems to go unnoticed.
Thoughts?
His GU's are really good.
His new renaissance w/Chable sucked though. I could not get into it.
I do not think he is unknown, but he is not the biggest dj here on ta.

i saw him 2 years ago, and he was good...
Dave seemed to have a much higher profile here the US a few years ago. Haven't heard much about him recently, apart from this new CD.
I am going to Atlanta and Seaman and Chable are coincidentally playing down there. My first time seeing either of them will be Saturday night.

that track on his renaissance cd?
His GU's pwned cept 22 was a bore at times....tho 16 and 12 were ownage and so was his renaissance - singapore. His BiR remixes with Steve Anderson were really good, dollshead - it's over, it's under is a classic banger. His recent stuff is boring as feck sadly but he is a smart person and smart deejay, shame he went totally prog breaks.
Dave Seaman is good. I havent listened to him that much lately but his GU compilations are amazing. Teaming up with Chable was an awesome idea because chable has that unique sound.
Also as a note, i enjoyed Dave Seaman presents Group Therapy. The Group therapy dub of their single "my own worst enemy" sounds awesome and it certainly different from what i am used to hearing from Dave Seaman.

Seaman isn't underrated or unloved here. People who were around when he played trance still have tons and tons of respect for the guy (like I do). It's just that he's moved away from trance with such determination in he past few years, like he wants people to forget he ever played it, so no one has much reason to talk about him. His GUs are all part of the progressive trance canon, only matched by Sasha and Nick Warren, except for Melbourne which was his declaration of intent to play boring progressive house.
My Own Worst Enemy was a light in the dark, and I hope he produces and spins more in that direction. He was always suited to the epic Renaissance style.
sorry in an answer to the question on the first page by sandstorm - the tonedepth track is on the Therapy Sessions II cd
I've considered the GU 16 one of the best sets of all times. Definatly one of my top 5 DJs.
Seaman is definatly not unloved. Much respect to him!
