- Yes, tracks are better now then what they were back in 2001-2002 and the end od 2000. Tracks now are heaving that 99 feeling, although not explosive and as euphoric as the 99'tunes, although they do have it in some other way. DJ's like Tiesto and PvD are really riding with this type of 99 feeling. Oakey is following right after, although he is still with that progressive, but still, he has throwned GOOD sets!. I heaven't heard much of Ferry and Armin, although I know Armin is a true trance all around DJ. It's great though,but, nothing will ever, ever come to replace the year of 99.

Yeah I agree with this, and it is Tiesto who started it!
Listen to his latest productions(Nyana, Ten, Faithfulness) they have got a 99 sound in it.

Well those A&B tunes lately are becoming quite repetitive IMO and they sound nothing like 99, the only N&F tune that reminds me of 99 is binary refined(which is logic ) and well JOOF's latest cd doesn't sound anyway near 99.
but who cares who started it, the tunes produced lately are of a very high quality and I dont think we could ever agree on this just because Im dutch and you are from the UK
what made '99 so great in everyone's mind was that they, for the most part, people were just getting in to the music style. Further, what makes the music of the past better then most releases to date is the style that they were made in. '99 was the year of summer tunes. If you think back to almost every great song from that year, the have a summer feeling, a feeling that added to awesome beach parties in Ibiza and elsewhere. Also, tunes back then had better melodies. I find that today's releases focus away from the subtle nuances of music and more on repetitive sounds and rhythms. I hope that 2003 will return to the beach party of yesterday, but I don't really think so....this is not to say that I don't still enjoy the music hehehhee.

I do agree that Tiesto's Nyana has that special 99 feeling, very Innercity like.

I totally agree with you. 99 was like no other year, because like I was discovering trance for the first time. But I have to admit, 03 has been awesome in terms of quality in productions and sets as well. Tunes being released lately are so intelligent that definitely made me stop listening to prog and get back to uplifting.

Youre definitely right man, there are a lot of new fresh producers coming out and theyre are some great tracks from already mainstay producers, I think uplifting has finally gotten out of its slump of boringness and formumatic ways of the past, its not just u man its me too!
