yep - lots of people really trash him on these boards - but his earlier stuff is perhaps some of the best examples of trance as it should be. Had a change of direction somewhat of late - but then everyones gotta move on at some point!

He's just a very versatile person (I think), who experiments a lot. As for me, I like some of his stuff. My favorites are flaming june ofcourse, and (weird that this one is almost never mentioned on the boards) lullaby for gaia.

he is the man who found Jan Johnston... of course we like him

Technically he is lightyears ahead of 90% of other EDM producers...

If you're expecting to hear all trance from him, though, you'll be mistaken.

i like the older tunes but i dont like any of the new stuff

I think BT is one of the best producers. He is far more musically apt then most others, if not all other edm producers.

He only has a few trance tracks, but listen to ESCM and you will love it. It has great dnb and breaks tracks, that put me in a trance at least...

But yeah his 'trance' classics are:

Dreaming
Godspeed
Flaming June
Mercury & Solace

and each of those tracks is superb, and I can't decide which I like more.

He's a really mixed bag. His very beginning stuff is bland (but then it was a long time ago, so hey). He's released a couple of my favorites that I'll never stop listening to (Dreaming, Mercury & Solace), he has a few off the wall songs that are nice (Somnambulist, Godspeed), and then his new track with Beber & Tamra is amazing.

Often times I think his creativity goes to waste, as he just tweaks a song out too much, but some of his stuff is the best.

BT is very good.

Agreed with many here.. he's technically pretty much of a perfect producer even if he hasn't made that many trancers among all the house and breaks tracks. Quality of the overall productions is always good and he seems to dare to experiment alot of different things of which some have been good or amazing and some not.

ESCM (full of emotions, moody trance like Flaming June, breaks [UK Edition has the amazing breaks track The Road To Lostwithiel instead of a fav of many, Lullaby For Gaia] and others) is the album i play most but also Ima (more on the housy and experimental territory) and Movement In Still Life (lot of breaks with some great trancers) get their plays in my CD player.. Emotional Technology still grows on me and gets better by every listen IMO. It is also very different everyone expected it to be but that's just one of his experiments again, to explore new styles and mix pop & rock with electronica what he usually does so well.
