Hmmmmmm there are many tracks that were the popular "first of their kind" and imitated much later. If the chronological order had been messed up, who could say what would have happened but this is definitely an interesting question which makes me think of that movie, Back to the Future.
For example, on a tangent in an alternate reality, if Armin Van Buuren and DJ Tiesto had formed what would be this universe's equivalent to the Gouryella project, leaving Ferry Corsten out of it, there might be no such thing as "Ligaya". And the other singles would sound quite different and I don't know if they would be received the same way. Maybe the piercing leads of "Blue Fear" would dominate as much as those supersaw leads. Who knows?
But on this earth, as for tracks that have major name recognition behind them, something like Prodigy's new album comes to mind. It's dirty, it's raw, it's back to beats -- but would it be released if Liam Howlett didn't have so much of a reputation? In the trance arena, I'm not going to come after anyone specifically. There are a number of big DJs who are dominators of the dancefloor, yet I do not enjoy most of the production on their artist (not mix) albums, with the exception of some singles. It's kind of like they have a few AWESOME tracks which stand out, and then the rest kind of pads out in between... or "filler" which could be interchanged with X or Y or even Z generic trance track with no or few distinguishing features. On the whole, it just doesn't move me and make me react.
Yeah, pretty tripped out, I know.
