Richard Durand - Trancefusion (The Anthem of 2012)

How can an original mix be 5:40 long?

This sounds like shit.

I'm resigning to the fact that these guys must be commissioning desperate 15-year-olds to produce their tracks for them. Surely they jest?

Hoped for the Alex O'Rion's mix at least, but nah.

I try but I cannot find a logic to this.

It sounds horrible from any angle. You could close your eyes and search some trance, you'd find a better track.

what is so strange about ~6 min duration? Most commercial releases are this lenght or shorter, the 9-10 min tracks is just something reserved for some uplifting trance and underground releases that are elaborate enough to keep it interesting for the duration.

I'm actually embarrassed that I chose to click 'play'.....and even a 30 second scan confirmed what everyone else on the forum already knows.

Even from you, this is a surprise.

Well, not really.

because that was so 20 years ago

The groove felt way to standard, the low end didn't make much of an impact and the bassline is laughably effortless.

The biggest problem I have with this track though, is that the anthem itself is way too underwhelming. It sounds like the main riff for a filler track, rather than the bombastic scores that I found so attractive in the first place.

I can't notice any sort of passion or commitment in this creation, it all feels forced and uninspired. It's like if someone was told to make this specific track by a label executive, who is treating the audience like a bunch of idiots.

Well, when your audience is mostly a collection of fist pumping bro's and drunk club rats you don't have to try very hard. Don't get me wrong, its still horrible- but I think they hit the target audience exactly.

Hey, it's a step up from his days DJing in front of CGI pop cans:

Actually, this would be a better tune for a 2012 anthem.
It's silly, dopey, cheezy, retarded and fist-pumping the right way.
It's complete diarrhea, but at least it's poppy, fun and enthousiastic dreck.

You know what, let's make this the (un)official trance anthem for 2012, because you see, the #trancefamily, Armada and Anjuna trance generation deserves no better.

No, they do deserve better. It's really painful to see them drivel down this road, and I'm one of those who don't enjoy the misfortune of others.

This is one of the main reasons I've gotten into music production and song writing in the first place. I want to become EDM's 'Hobo With A Shotgun'.

this is a richard durand track? Didn't know it, this was a hit back in the days. In general commercial music was better than what mainstream is nowadays.

Yep, I liked these, all four hits, poppy, cheesy but fun:

DJ Jose vs. G-spott - Access

DJ Jose vs. G-Spott - Wrong = Right

DJ Jose vs. G-Spott - II Symbols

DJ Jose vs. G-Spott - House Of Justice.
