ASOT Tune of the Year 2011

I think there isn't yet a thread on this.

My vote was:
1. Arty - Around The World
2. Orjan Nilsen - Between The Rays
3. Gareth Emery & Ashley Wallbridge - Mansion
4. Ferry Corsten - Check It Out
5. Sander van Doorn ft. Carol Lee - Love Is Darkness

Ferry was a bit of a sympathy vote..

Kinda surprised I didn't had a track from Armin or Above & Beyond. But I kinda liked their tracks from previous years better.

What did you vote?

i youtube these... wow terrible

What happened to the real good trance?

Right here

Didn't vote. Couldn't ID a track if my life depended on it although I know all these well. Really don't care about individual tracks but rather the overall experience a DJ creates. That said, and I love trance, the only track I like out of those is the SvD track which I love. The Orjan Nilsen - Between The Rays is OK. The Arty is vomit. Hate that shit. The Gareth and Ferry track I would rather forget. So much bad trance being produced/played by DJ's I use to love Still plenty out there I like though.

Re: ASOT Tune of the Year 2011

If I had to pick one song that reminds me most of 2011, it would be "Sinners" by Markus Schulz. It came out early this year, but I heard it soooo many times and I absolutely adore it.

haha, come on.. it's not that bad.. I also have a lot of good memories of the 90s and early 00s and I wouldn't mind hearing something like this again:


But not everything that's new is bad.. I mostly included tracks that I have good memories with, such as Armins opening at EZoo with Mansion:



But I liked both other tracks that have been mentioned (Arcane - Somewhere and Markus Schulz - Sinners)

For those folks who have been living under a rock for the last year


Sinners

I was a bit disappointed by both SvD and Arty this year. I thought they both dominated 2010, but this year the only song of theirs that I liked was "Timezone" by SvD.

Timezone

I like "Timezone", too. No offense to OP, but "Love is Darkness" is absolutely horrible. I have no idea how it became popular.

My favorite trance track of the year is probably "Taras Bazeev - May Be", but I doubt that was even played on ASOT.

Another one I loved was "Archelix - Dream of You", which was on Ferry's show early in the year.

Yeah, it's been a dry spell for me to find tracks I really like. I still support Armin, Markus and Ferry and have fun at their shows but all of their productions over the past 1 (probably more) year(s) haven't been my cup of tea.

The only tracks on the ASOT voting list I liked were Mike Foyle's Headrush and his remix of Avernus - Sirya.

I haven't been listening to all of the ASOTs so really don't know all of the tracks Armin's been playing but I'm surprised Basil O'Glue's Angular Momentum was not on there. That is probably my favorite track of the year. Brings back the old Coldharbour sound that I haven't heard in Markus's productions for a while. I wish he would go back to producing that style of music.

Another like for Timezone also.

kaskade/deadmau5 - i remember

between the rays is an amazing tune, definitely one of my tops.

there are too many songs to list as my favorite, a lot of it can vary based off the set, transition, the song before, song after, etc.

just a few off the top of my head

no man's land by klauss golart
birdy nam nam - going in ( bad dancer remix ) epitome of going into the rabbit hole
caress 2 impress and outsider
sleepwalkers
another day by dns project, khohma remix
etc

I assume you mean Markus' Big Room Reconstruction version of the song.

For some reason I thought this song was released late last year, but I guess I'm wrong. I change my vote to this song for Song O' The Year 2011.

I normally like Arty productions, but I totally hated "Rebound." (it was a big hit, so what do I know?)

I liked their other production together, "Mozart," much more.

Yeah, I totally agree. Liked almost all his productions from 2010, and Mozart is awesome too. But "Rebound" didn't do it for me..

fool, you wouldn't know good trance. Look at the stuff you keep booking, i mean marketing. InsomniWack.

I'll say it again:
"What exactly is trance?"

Like pornography... I know it when I see/hear it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_it_when_I_see_it

Arty - Around the World is progressive house

A lot of the stuff in the trance category now has a prog house or sound or would fit it much better in the electronica category... Looking back at all the music I listened to this year, I think only Daniel Kandi is making music that I can identify as trance (and actually listen to). Times a changin' I guess.

I havnt had any time to hear much trance this year but out of the songs that I did hear im going with these as my favorites for the year.

So, here are the official results:

1. TUNE OF THE YEAR: Aly & Fila ft. Jwaydan - We Control The Sunlight [FSOE]
2. Alex M.O.R.P.H. ft. Sylvia Tosun - An Angel�s Love (Vocal Mix) [ASOT]
3. Above & Beyond ft. Richard Bedford - Sun & Moon (Club Mix) [Anjunabeats]
4. Shogun - Skyfire [Armind]
5. Orjan Nilsen - Between The Rays [Armind]
6. Armin van Buuren pres. Gaia - Status Excessu D (ASOT 500 Theme) [Armind]
7. Arty & Mat Zo - Rebound [Anjunabeats]
8. Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt - Be Your Sound [Black Hole]
9. Ferry Corsten ft. Armin van Buuren - Brute [Flash Over]

11. Andain - Promises (Myon & Shane 54 Summer Of Love Mix) [Black Hole]
12. Andy Moor ft. Sue McLaren - Fight The Fire [AVA]
13. Armin van Buuren pres. Gaia - Stellar [Armind]
14. Dash Berlin ft. Jonathan Mendelsohn - Better Half Of Me (Club Mix) [Aropa]
