Agreed. Their stuff just sounds like bland adult contemporary with euro trance presets. Even their 'big climax hooks' don't seem to carry much weight.

Originally posted by thoughtlessjex You're not answering my question. Does Tracking Treasure Down really deserve all this attention when it's not a very good tune? Does Madagascar, an excellent piece of music, deserved to be upstaged by mediocre tracks like Tracking Treasure Down?

And who says it´s not a very good tune? You? And you have then the right to say it´s overrated and judge it objectively?

Now we´re talking the same shit as in the OMG ASot 250 topic. There aren´t any official standards of quality in the music business - what sucks for you can rock for anyone else - just too many people say the tune sucks big time it doesn´t mean it´s bad. If you would try to play f.e. Incolumnis - One With Sanctuary to someone who listens to the pop (rock, country...) music all the day, he would most probably say "Bah, it´s boring, repetitive, there are no vocals.." etc. Does it mean Incolumnis is a badly produced track? No. And there you have it.

Rocking set from PvD.

Good and bad are not objective terms in music, except if it's a skill- good guitar playing etc.

The track has a phenomenal bassline and Umeks Astrodisco remix absolutely rocks.



i would agree on Helsinki. It does sound very similar to alot of other Anjunabeats stuff. And lets face it shitloads of tracks nowadays sound very similar.

Trentemoller - Rykketid
Alter Ego - Rocker
