Video : Rank 1 - Awakening

I saw the videoclip a few days ago...
I think it's really crappy!

Have you seen it?

Posted by KilldaDJ on Apr-14-2002 10:12:

its weird, theres a load of ppl racing and some random news fellow talkin

It sucks imo. A bunch of screaming people and car racers. You can't even hear the song anymore.

They could have done better!

Never liked the idea of trance in the form of videos; it's the music we're after, this is not fucking MTV! Svenson and Gielen's We Know What You Did video is disgusting to the point of humiliating.

well i liked the video of marco v - godd but the only REALLY STUPID part of the video is that the sounds of the clip itself overwhelm the music..
do you believe in a godd who *kick,slam* satisfies.. etc etc..

I found it funny... It's really original in comparison with what I have seen before! Did you see the Beauty Of Silence Video? This one was really bad!

system f feat. armin van buuren - exhale ..
i rolled of my chair when i saw that one..

Posted by Serp on Apr-14-2002 13:15:

If I had to choose, I'd say the video of Chicane- Saltwater is a good ambassador for trance as a genre that deserves some sort of respect.

The music in the rank 1 videoclip is fucked up by stupid ppl who are talking crap. It's OK to make a video, but dont let the clip OR the extra sounds in it (talking and racing this time) f*ck it up.

I must disrespectfully disagree. i felt the video was good, not just because of the T & A (but that was a bonus) but they tried to do a bit in terms of phallic imagery (as is pointed out in the intro to this video on the site) and what not, which I think was pretty cool. Also, there are a number of well done trance videos (IMHO), like Rank 1-Airwave and Chicane-Don't Give up. Overall I think a well done video enchances a song because you get a new spin on it you may not have thought of before.

Regards,
Dave

Who cares, i dont want it too go main streem, it is a top tune, played in clubs, it doesnt need a video, so then it can be on top of the pops and mtv and twats can then annoy me with their fresh new tune they have

We all don't wish trance to end up like MTV. That's the reason why I dislike the idea of introducing moving pictures into the track; it just about spoils everything. All due respect, IronDragon, but the reason why MTVs became popular was because marketeers wanted pop music to be wrapped up nicely in a complete lovely package that encompass everything from the audio experience to the visual treats accompanying the music. Trance doesn't need any of this shit. The music is self sufficient. Who gets goosepimples looking at a Trance music video? The only thing trance videos does is to give anti-trancers another reason to wallop our taste and proclaim us as cheese. Trance is very dangerously drifting towards that direction, and I don't like it one bit.

By the way MTV sucks.

Trance doesnt go well in music videos. The We Know What you Did video is silly, I just dont get the point. Rank 1 - Airwave was even worse, it just had piet and benno sit in some virtual realty chair and fly around through mountains and clouds and shit while the music played.

I think the best idea for a video would just to have some great party footage with the tunes playing.

1) Why do you care what "anti-trancers" think?
2) I'm not saying the music not self-sufficient by why restrict it to just the audiotory domain? Don't we have 5 senses?
3) So what if "our" music is on MTV? Are you so full of yourself that only you and a select group of people can listen to trance?
4) As any genre progress, it gain in popularity. Trance was bound to appear on MTV eventually. Wether or not trance becomes more cheesy depends upon the artist. If the arist wants commercial success than that's just too bad.
Look, if you wanna bitch about it then bitch about it. But if you feel that strongly about it, I suggest you do something instead of being all self-righteous.

I realy dunno what clip of what track is alive,and i dont fuckin care either.
