Hrmm some interesting thoughts on this ..


Thanks for your insightful input rez.

its better than any radio show that australia has to offer
nuff said

i think a state of trance does what Lew.D said...it allows listeners to be up to date with new releases from the trance scene..it gives us a chance to have a listen to whats gonna be doing the rounds in quiet a few record boxes for a month or 3 to come of dj's that play the same style as armin. it gives the song good recognition..and although it is a hit n miss some weeks, still has plenty of variety to offer the listeners.

Besides us trance addicts down here, who else would really know about ASOT besides a few friends that we might share a couple of decent sets with?? In europe its a different story..but i highly doubt people who dont have an interest in dance music in general really take any notice, therefore it not being as commercial as a few people have said it could be

Never listened to ASOT. But i'm sure i wouldnt mind it. Just prefer not to listen to shows, or other peoples sets for that matter. I'd much rather see people live.

i think you and i are on the same page about tech trance =)

Originally posted by escee I like both the radio show and the label, generally. Sure there are tracks that i dont like, but those can be skipped over. I think asot is good for trance in that it isnt pushing that horrible techy direction like other labels are (ala black hole).

ASOT has done a great deal for online trance community. On the positive side its main purpose, as many here has stated is education for the masses. More and more people knows what good music is, and ASOT has excels at it.

On the negative side, the repetitiveness of tunes (eg. Armin-style) can also leads to its demise. IMO, ASOT should not be treated as the holy bible of trance tunes, there are also great unsigned releases (although maybe not as many as ASOT) on radioshows from the likes of PvD, Blank & Jones, Marco V, et al. each with their own unique, signature sound.

..jadedness is imminent if you dedicate 20Gb HD space exclusively for ASOT episodes .. it's more fun finding out about tunes when it gets played on the dancefloor, or browsing through your fave recordshop shelf, rather than sitting down at home, waiting for the download to finish
