I would say for me and he is my favorite producer is: Andreas Schmidt Aka Ace Da Brain.

He has different kinds of sounds and surprises me with his productions, always different.

Rikki Smith, nuff said.

Oh no.. imagine that... people having their own minds and their own opinions... God forbid ANYONE reason different than you oh great know it all of Trance...

Looks like you also quoted my post without even reading it. I said *much* Oliver Lieb.

That's fine though. You say yourself you're at the 6 year mark, which is around the time most start to branch out and check out material away from their pet scenes/producers. You'll learn soon enough why Lieb gets the praise he does, and why his tracks eat PvD's material as a lite snack in almost every case.

Yeah, you can express what you think. Equally I can disagree.

Sykonee: I have to ask how much PVD you've heard yourself.

I recommend everyone to judge PVD first after hearing his stuff from 1992-2000. After that he more or less went shit.

Ah well. There you go. You can't be going saying someone hasn't heard enough Lieb to judge him when you haven't heard a broad selection of PVD, can you?

I was expecting this from you , stay cool...

Same actually goes for Culture Beat...

Man behind Cappella: Gianfranco Bortolotti who worked together with Mauro Picotto and RAF.

True, not real trance but without the vocals it's close. At least if you compare to all track whis are called trance nowadays.
It's of course Eurohouse.

I do believe Cappella and Culture Beat had huge influence in people getting in contact with trance.
Next to that many trance-fans loved Cappella.

Skykonee and system j.... how about you both let people have their opinions and shut the hell up... Seriously, if you want to debate, then start a debate thread... This whole thread was about who YOUR favorite trance producer is...

Skykonee, as for 6 years being about when people branch out to other artists...that's bullshit ... Your head is so far up your ass that you need a serious reality check...

And system J... you were 12 when the first time I saw PVD live... Again, people have their own reasons for liking artists... There's a nice way to disagree and you missed it by a long shot.
