I might seem to spend a lot of time slating recent trance to many of you, but that doesn't mean I've given up on it. And it's records like this that restore my faith.
It's fooking awesome. Thumping. Melodic. Well produced. Acid! There should be more acid in trance. The strange thing is that nobody seems to have noticed it (unless I'm really late). Great stuff, check it out. More of this stuff in 2006, please.
askew is allright, his style is a continuation of pvd's old banging style. i like his "no nonsense, no big break, no big vocals" style. will possibly pick up the album

His DJing has sadly become increasingly watered down and fluffy over the last 3 years. He still knows how to provide trance with some proper guts without fannying about with silly breakdowns or twinkly melodies though, which is always welcome. Will check this.
Any man with the balls to label a disc 'Live as Fucking Fuck' earns points in my book

I've been listening to some of the live disc, and it's alright. The sound quality is deliberately rough, a very "live" feel with the MC and crowd noises. I enjoyed what I heard, but the actual artist album bit is much better.
