Edit:Exception is Armin's Sunset Dub Mix,which i didn't know it was re-released.

Tilt - Twelve (December 2004)

and 3 of the other tracks I couldn't even find on discogs.

Fair enough here for Twelve.I didn't get the first version which was released in December 2004 (nyaaaaaaaah it's only a month before 2005 ) therefore didn't know it.But i'm pretty sure all the others are from 2005 (excluding Armin's Sunset Dub mix of Ayu - Appears).

today producers grow on like flowers...
its good because new talents come to surface, new sounds, new styles, more options to choose.
and its bad because we get a shitload of cheesy/shitty tracks

ofcourse i like the trance of 90s and early 00s more than the trance of 2005, thats my education, with tracks like nightmare, cream and cafe del mar i grow up, and unfortunally, tracks like these is hard to find these days, some f4ckerz (you all know who, i'm not saying names because i dont want to start a flame) set the rules now, and the rest of the producers must follow (if they want to make some money).
its time for others to get a piece from the pie, and i dont mean money, i mean recognition, there're a lot of good producers out there, but those f4ckerz i mentioned before keep them on the ground.
today recognition for a producer is if his track has spinned by those f4ckerz.
i personally dont care if a track is spinned by dj-a or dj-b to like it, most of the times i can tell if a production is good from the first drum beat, people should stop fell in love with every major dj's playlist, and explore the trance music on their own, if you search you'll find a lot of GOOD tunes, if you accept whatever they spin to you and mark it as a good-one automatically i doubt if you can find tunes with the feeling that oldies had.

I do think ASOT is a huuuge influence these days, too big IMO.

I stopped listening to it half a year ago to be honest. I think people use ASOT too much as a guideline for trance in general. And there's so much more stuff than only the stuff played on ASOT. I cannot say I dislike the music played there, because I love Gabriel & Dresden's productions. But ASOT represents not all the trance that is going around these days.....

thats what i dont like....i dont like that a few people representing and rule the scene, i'm listening to asot, but thats not influences me, my guidline is da feeling! thats the point, to listen what ever makes you feel good, not whatever dj-a or dj-b plays, cause a and b spin a lot of shit frequently, for their own reasons.

Well, to make everyone happy he would have to play every new trance song known to man, and well... he just cant do that. So he gives us what he likes and what he thinks the majority of listeners will like too. He succeeds in both therefor ASOT kicks ass!

I wasn't bashing ASOT, I only think the influence of this particular show is ridicilously big. That's all...

And, what is wrong with that? It gives people a chance to listen to something they may never have listened to before... for free! Meh, forget it... Armin is a scumbag for giving us this oppurtunity to listen to his selection of trance tunes for free.

well atleast evryone isnt influenced by Judge Jules' radio show
