The Worst Of TC: 2007 (miscellaneous)

I figured this would be the best place to post this, since this is technically a DJ mix, albeit very amateurish and wholly un-serious. As I haven't done any DJing in years -much less used a computer program to do so- most of the transitions are rather akin to something like a Back To Mine compilation.

As for what this is, us writers over at TranceCritic -System-J, Will Alexander (aka: teknomonki on these forums) and myself- have gathered up the worst music we had to review over the course of 2007 for TranceCritic's annual Worst Of TC list. Seeing as how hearing is often better than reading, I made a little DJ mix out of our selections in the process.

Again, this isn't a serious mix, so I'm not really looking for critics on my DJing ability here. I actually feel a bit embarrassed that some of these transitions worked out better than expected; this is supposed to be a collection of BAD music, after all. However, any comments regarding this mix are most welcome, even if it's just to join in on the fun in raggin' on crap tunes.

Anyhow, here is The Worst Of TC: 2007. Enjoy!

Nice effort, but why listen to this "BAD music" when one can listen to good music instead?

This is hands down the greatest thread ever in this forum

Same reason why people would purposely watch BAD movies, naturally. Pure comedic value.

So you'd appreciate the good music more

Posted by THE_Chris on Jan-24-2008 19:59:

Also so you can easily remove your ears, thereby not spending money on anymore music

That does raise an interesting point though. Without bad music to use as a comparison, good music would just seem average and plain.

there had to be one controversial choice in there

for a standard trance-by-numbers imitation of a timeless classic it could have been alot worse, but i can totally understand why it's in there all the same..

(for the record, dow is no clown.. just about everything else he made last year smacked it)

Posted by isoterra on Jan-24-2008 23:31:

i'd also like to dispute the inclusion of 'truly madly deeply'. a) it's far too obvious, and b) it falls into the category of being 'so bad it's fucking hilarious' which as far as i'm concerned, is a large plus point.. i can listen to it and instantly be cheered up for the day. it's a song that really puts everything else into perspective; all that's wrong in the world seems trivial when compared with it...

/edit - ah shit, listening to the mix & realise you meant the album version. the single version is far more entertaining

Liking tracks in this set is NOT allowed.

Kindly say you hate them all

aw come on

how can you hate this?

it's far too easy to hate. it's such a pristine example of how to make a shit track that it positively glistens in achieving its purpose and sets new standards for sheer craptitude across the whole musical spectrum. although truth be told it doesn't quite reach the divine levels of atomic kitten - the tide is high (lasgo remix) from 6 years ago

VERY easily, lol

How's you Rich?

Posted by Sykonee on Jan-25-2008 20:46:

Yeah, for some reason I figured the inclusion of Cascada might be one of the more, um, 'controversial' choices, if anything for the seemingly easy cop-out it represents in a Worst Of list.

It's the reason why I chose one of their ballads. No matter what you may think of their dancey stuff, their ballads are unequivocally fucking awful.

Also, to hear such schmaltzy pap right after the 'I R Serious Prog' idiocy of Nic Chagall's track is sheer hilarity!

As Rick warmed up, I'm guesing you played tech-trance? Hope it went good !

Sorry to hear bout the break up dude, hope you're well otherwise.

MICHAEL DOW - ASCENT

how is that bad music tut tut

the res you hit the nail on the head

Posted by teknomonki on Feb-06-2008 22:44:

Killer mix Mr Syk!

'Ascent' was my choice, I hold my hands up. It was just so dull and really didn't do anything creative or original with a beautiful piece of music.

'Anthem' was also my call, but I'm guessing that I don't need to defend that selection...
