I think they're distinctly average and always have been. Eyes of Horus was saved by a good Ronski Speed remix at a time when he was producing nice stuff. However being from a 'developing' country music wise, they're going to have a lot of support from within as pioneers for their countrymen/women on some level, it's always happened, americans always big up their own djs, other countries did, and a lot from the middle east/australia/asia/south america are doign the same. It doesn't mean that a lot of us don't find it shit however

They spammed a similar 3-hour set on TranceCritic's forums. I usually don't check them out but, for some reason, I did this one.
Here's what I had to say of it:
| quote: | This is what impressed me:
-When they pretty much blow their load with an ultra-peak-time climax song with only the third track, I thought to myself, "No way it's going to be like this all the way through for three hours. They gotta show some diversity." Boy, did they prove me wrong. Same thing over and over and over. Kudos, Aly & Fila: it's not often I'm proved THAT wrong about a predicting how a DJ set turns out.
-By making sure every track has an unnecessary breakdown and build-up, it keeps the energy level flat-lined throughout. Usually this is a Bad Thing, as constant momentum-killing breakdowns typically make for very bland sets. However, it ALSO shows Aly & Fila's smart sense of safety. With their audience reduced to either standing still with their arms in the air or hopping in one spot with their fist pumping the air, it keeps the crowd well under control, thus reducing hazardous things like unfunky people trying to dance.
-No matter how many times I thought the set might take off for something more interesting, Aly & Fila manage to bring it back to status quo with an overblown poor-man's Vangelis/Kitaro/Tesh ambient interlude. They always managed to trick me! I am not one easily fooled, but they did it.
-How can you NOT be impressed with all those effects, man? They're, like, big, and loud, and... um... BIG... and... um... um... DUDE, those effects!!! What do you mean there's no melody?
-By making sure every track is nearly a carbon copy of the previous one, time itself ceases to exist, as you are caught in some kind of time-loop. Somehow, someway, Aly & Fila managed to create this loop, as I'd swear to God I heard the track over and over.
-This is more on the producer's end with these songs. It's nice to know that some of them are getting ass by letting these horrible singers add vocals to their songs. At least, I HOPE they're getting some ass out of the deal...
-Aly & Fila display an incredible ability at mixing uplifting melodic trance into melodic uplifting trance, and then back into uplifting melodic trance again. It takes real skill to play these highly differing styles of music together. |
