Armin's prog-taste is very good, but trance... cheese
There still are some good trance tunes, but the majority is just boring.

And yes his old productions are sooo much better than his new ones.

solid globe?


BAHHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

ive never liked armin always found bit boring he doesnt bring anything different to the decks that alot of other djs already do

Sorry, have to disagree. His recent 5 hour set her in SF was incredible and it was unique for him in at a US gig as he had no opener...he was on the decks when the room opened. He started with melodic prog (ie. His frist track - Deepsky - Talk Like a Stanger (Markus Shulz....remix) and worked it up to beautiful trance. Listen to ASOT 143, which is a couple hours of the set he played here that night (April 2).

did armin manage to play 5 hours of fluffy trance, with some fluffy prog? Because thats what he did in nyc...And people fled out @ about 4:30. Like 2-3 hours into his set. Armin is good for about 2 hours, then gets boring.

err... i was there. it was a pretty sick party. everyone was feeling the music and if u weren't... then u were the minority

i started to notice ages ago when all his remixes started sounding the same in 2002. such a shame.

look @ the thread in nyta, and tell me who is the minority...
Did armin not play fluffy trance for 4 hours? His hardest banger mabe, tiesto - love comes again? i dont really hate any 1 track he played. He just plays the same style the whole time. It didnt amount to anything. He also played each track to long, felt about 7 mins a track, which imo was way to long to continue any energy. And when he mixed @ roxy, all he did was throw the kick down during the "chorus" for like a minute, then took the kick out. And he did that every mix. Like i said thats good for about 2 hours, after that it gets boring because he losese all the energy from the previous track.

Originally posted by Az he's been in massive decline for ages his older ASOT sets were great but he's never played like that in a club when I've seen him, just cheesy fucking andain/binary finary bootlegs plays trance for retards

Agreed. He was so fluffy and McProggish when I saw him in New York last week that I had to leave.

Armin's downfall started in 2002 with all of those crappy remixes that sound the same.
