I still dispute that suggestion. Clicks And Cuts? Pop Ambient? Box Of Dub?

RA lives in some alternative universe in which dance music only existed from 87-90 and from 2005- present. Its as if anything that happened in the 90s isnt important or can be ignored.

they have their heads up Richie Hawtins ass, no one is more white than Richie or the minimal movement in general. And its just not trance, the entire progressive movement is ignored from the 90s. So is all the techno that was produced then. You notice the trance being ignored because its probably what most people associate with 90s dance music most strongly but the fact remains that a techno track released today sounds radically different than one released in 89 and the biggest reason is because of the stuff numerous artists in different genres did in the 90s until now. The entire electronic movement has occurred through numerous contributions by numerous artists over the years and ignoring an entire decades worth of that contribution to somehow draw a straight line from today to Detroit and Chicago for some hipster retro cool vibe is nothing but selective amnesia at best and downright fraud at worst. RA reminds me of rolling stone magazine who continually somehow tries and ignore the fact that Pink Floyd actually occurred, and they somehow even do this while reviewing a radiohead album which is a near impossible feat.

thats something i don't understand, i agree trance may bee too comercial vomitive and as you say it may remember the 90s eurodance cheese but Richie Hawtin should be too commercial too. I like his sets but for sure there are more talented djs. As a producer he sucks in my opinion. Spastik is inmensely overrated and only the poison pro remix stands, credits for him because maybe in 1993 when i think it was released was amazing. The few tunes he releases now are crap... in such a hipster ambience it should be neglected but no, it's not the case.

Gotta give 'em credit for keeping all their pre-2005 reviews up. Including all the cracker-trance releases. Heck they even have trance reviews for 2005!

I'm actually surprised their forum doesn't call them out on it more often.

It's taken me 5 minutes to try to formulate a response detailing how stupid this statement is, and this is the best I've been able to come up with.

Please, stop acting like you've been around, and stop acting like you know.

I know. The best is whoever reviewed Reflections gave it 4.5 stars and the review seemed to imply it was perhaps PVDs best album

Now i like reflections and think it has a couple of really great tracks but any review talking about the greatness of time of our lives is beyond foolish and this is coming from me who is as big of a sane pvd fanboy as anyone.

Holy cow, 1,600+ words. Who does that for trance reviews?
