Evil1 damnit..."Rapture" in on Z95 now

I was driving home from work today, & since I forgot to bring my cd's along with me, I decided to turn on the radio & see what the crap-ass radio stations of vancouver had to offer....& there it was Z95 is now playing Iio's Rapture. For a second there I thought it was one of my cd's that I had left in my deck. But once I saw it was on radio, I swear, I felt like phoning them & yelling ever damn swear word I could think of....if I just knew their stupid phone number. argggg
stupid z95

WHAT???????????? are you sure it wasnt one of them dumb house party shows or whatever they have there? cause sometimes they play some not so bad not top 40 stuff
oh my dear gawd, if Z starts playing rapture, i swear ill have to shoot them, anyone wanna join me?


Posted by Mark on Feb-02-2002 14:28:

yes, i'll join you. shit man, i just started having an addiction to this tune and now fucking Z is playing it? which mix did they play? Z is so lame, why can't they just stick with those NSYNC, britney and BSB? lame ass shitheads...

I don't know what the fuck Z95 is but I assume its your Britney spears type radio station. Theres nothing fucking worse then the assination of a good song on a pop radio station. In Calgary we have Power 107, or as we like to call it power 187, cause it murders shit!

Shame / Disagreement

I heard it yesterday (friday) at around 5:25, so i dunno if it was part or their house party stuff...I think they played the original version...as they are too dump to play any better versions.
but the funny thing is they catch on so late...yet they think they are so ahead.

i wouldve never believed it but, i guess i have to
this is sad, this is very sad

Ok WTF? not to sound like a prick or anything but why does it matter if its played on Z95. I mean if you like a tune you like a tune, where its played shouldnt make a diffrence.

No it shouldn't, but the reality is that usually these stations have 2hrs of repeating loop and once it slides onto there it kills it. You have to of had a song you liked in the past that fell onto the radio's loop and within a week you were so fuckin' sick of it you never wanted to hear it again.

Examples: Sandstorm, Zombie nation

yeah, which mix is it? i bet its not the armin mix... or deep dish, those are both too "non-radio"
riva maybe?

i dont care really cuz rapture is tearing up the canadian charts (according to MuchMusic EC, haha)
and we've all heard this (only decent IMO) track a million times by now..

its the next darude, atb, etc. hehe

i AM surprised to see lange feat. skye - drifting away on top of the euro charts.. its a good track, but not THAT great.. ??

but if Z plays that then we know there's a new station director


Posted by Mark on Feb-03-2002 02:42:

top 40 radio stations kills good choons. its a fact.

I don�t get bothered by the fact that z plays, or should I say "steals", tunes from electronic producers such as iio, darude, etc...since those songs by the time they get on the radio are already over played by numerous dj's all around the world.

As a radio station, their sole mission is to attract listeners in any way they can. Where more listeners bring forth more money,which brings happiness; a happiness that fulfills an endless line of desires. But what really pissess me off, is seeing them step on our side of the "turf", if you will, then using & abusing our songs for their sole fame & fortune. If they like this kind of music why don�t they devote some time of the week for such songs?

Electronic music should remain as such, & not made into some "dance" or "pop dance" shit. It just shouldn�t. From one side we get people that dis this genre of music, that we all love so much, by saying crap like: "its so repetitive", "its annoying", "don�t you get a headache from listening to that crap" or may fav "my grandma can make better music than that". Then their attitude changes to the complete opposite when they talk about how good a song was half a year after it came out.

All in all they are selfish arrogant egoistic basterds that don�t give a shit about you, me & this whole eletronica genre. A wise man once said "money comes & goes, but morality comes & grows".
just my thought =]

amen to that brother koss

Very good points, Koss!

I believe there's a radio mix of Iio - Rapture, which is an offshoot of the John Creamer & Stephane K mix.


Posted by hypronix on Feb-05-2002 23:03:

well the original version is kinda okay for the radio. I mean, it ain't any fully underground stuff, that's prolly why Z is playing it.

I wonder whether the masses like it
