are you guys both coming to Marco V...or Scott Bond next week?

cause if so, I'm going to bash both your heads together for such blasphemy

there's nothing wrong with unique, consistent sounds (chicane, thrillseekers have both)...Matt Darey (aka Li Kwan) is a trance legend, IMHO, and along with Ferry, Tiesto, Oakie, etc. got me into trance in the first place...and Above & Beyond have given us some great PROPER trance.

shame on both of you

lets see what above and beyond got for us

seems like Above & Beyond use one set of loops and samples for every track they get their hands on....

i am really disapointed in them lately.

p.s.
while browsing archive, found Britney Spears remixes by Above & Beyond... Pfft.....

ofcourse they do,do you want all your tracks in ur collection/archive/mp3 player or whatever to sound exactly the same way?
i guess not,the deal is thrillseekers and A&B are stuck in the past)

you say "stuck in the past"...I say CLASSIC SOUND

Matt Darey's Liberation is a track from YEARS ago...as is Ferry Corsten's remix...that stuff is not from this year, lol. If other people are remixing it...how does that mean that Darey himself has been busy (Li Kwan alias notwithstanding)?

that thrillseekers remix of that Reflekt track is incredible...come on, no bashing...if you don't like A&B or Thrillseekers, that's fine...but that just tells me that you don't like that style of trance...yet you like Chicane, lol. I'm confused.

newer doesn't automatically = better

I'm not bashing...I love all those guys...and all types of trance...Matt Darey definitely *needs* to be brought to Toronto

i know the liberation track is old,but remixes are new.

and Fuzz remix of Reflekt - Need to Feel Loved is much better then thrillseekers,i got hundreads of tracks wich are similar style as Thrillseekers remix.

IMHO thrillseekers suck,why? because Electronic music changes all the time,Chicane are classics so Thrillseekers are,but they never were a floor killers,they are like Benny Bennasi - well known,overplayed and no new material.

Alright then, fair enough.

To say that producers such as the Thrillseekers and Above & Beyond 'don't produce anything new' is just plain wrong.

From a production standpoint, pretty much the only thing that's stayed *relatively* the same amongst A&B and Thrillseekers is the synths and sounds used, and that's not even really the case w/ A&B anymore.

I think of all the labels out there, Anjunabeats is probably one of the more forward thinking and more diverse. With Hard On Recordings and the newly founded Anjunadeep, it's proof positive that Jono & the Boys are dedicated to expanding their scope. Not confining it.

And before someone rushes to tell me that I just described the Label, not A&B..

Above & Beyond Presents Tranquility Base - Razorfish
Above & Beyond Presents Tranquility Base - Surrender
Above & Beyond - No One On Earth
Ferry Corsten - Holding On (Above & Beyond Mix)

Yeah. These all sound the same?

..I thought not.

~j

did not expect a heated argument to come of this thread lol...i just want those boys in TO...

as my avator says....i really really really want to hear

anjunabeats - volume 1 (above & beyond remix)

dropped by them...highlight of my clubbing days right there.

and throw in the old tunes too like:

aurora - ordinary world (above & beyond remix)
oceanlab - clear blue water (above & beyond remix)
prepetuous dreamer - sound of goodbye (above & beyond remix)


these were all the gems that made me know i like trance!!! above & beyond has been my favorite group right since the beginning, and they are very forward thinking with their radio show and diversity, the producers they sign, their online shop...etc.etc

when i first started listening to them, i remember i felt so bad for them how their music was so amazing and they were getting very little recognition...now they are trance icons!!!

^^^

exactly...gotta respect the people who helped bring the trance scene to where it is today. I don't like the "what have you done for me lately" position that is being implied by Transmotion (kidding dude, it's all good )

old, new, whatever...good trance is good trance and everyone mentioned in this thread is *massive* and I'd love to hear any of them live on a decent sound system!!!
