It's all about personal tastes.

btw not all of Dumonde productions are good. For example some of those you mentioned.

Here are some good ones (imo) :
Airplay - Music Is Moving [Dumonde Rmx]
Dumonde - Never Look Back
Dumonde - See the light
Dumonde - Tomorrow
Dumonde vs Lange - Memory
ELT - Rescue Me [Dumonde Mix]
M.U.T.E. - Missed Beat [Dumonde Remix]
Marc Aurel - Running [Dumonde Remix]
P2 - Fade To Grey [Jam X and De Leons Dumonde Mix]

You might wanna try these too.

Let's take a track like "God Music" or "Can U Dig it." What's so special about it? These tracks are exactly average. They are lackluster. Take their track "Mind's Made Up." What's so special about it? There is no good melody, nothing memorable or outstanding, just the vocal that's repeated over and over. My point is if you like hard trance, there many better and more talented artists out there. And if you like softer trance, the situation is the same: more artists who are better. Anyone care to explain?

Well, all the tracks you mentioned are the reason why I stopped been obsessed with Dumonde as I was before. All the tracks they remixed or did before that were just stormers. After that.. with God Music and so on.. I stopped liking their newest productions. The last I liked from them was that Lange vs. Dumonde - Memory ( dumonde remix ) or something like that ..

On a positive note, last year I bought their mixed CD -- called "Essential Trance Mix" or something -- it was pretty good. The first track was Human Evolution. It also had Light & Sound, Ding A Ling, Catalyst, their own Can U Dig It, and other tracks. You know which CD I'm talking about?

It was mixed perfectly, but then there were two people mixing it... so it was probably easier to mix...

I highly doubt it was mixed live. I would be surprised if it wasnt at a computer tbh...but then again i don't really know.

"Why are people obsessed with DuMonde?"

Because they are good :P

I personally like them because of their kicks and synths mainly, their songs are so driving...i can't explain it really, they just rock.
