progress with the times....no living in the past...appreciate whatever is out now...everyone has their classics, todays tracks will be tomorow's classics.

The three albums u named are amazing. but they're is still crazy stuff coming out these days. People's tastes change, the people who make the music are feeeling something different. EDM is still one of these the purest form of music. producers make next to nothing yet keep on making the beats. Cant say the same about hip hop.

p.s Das Efx was insane...Wu-Tang will always be the best hip hop group of all time IMO.

There is good music coming out nowadays.. You just have to look harder to find it.

Communicate is still one of my all time favorite album. I never grow tired of listening to it. Dont have the Northern Exposure stuff thouhg

I still enjoy the 1998 - 2001 stuff compared to the stuff to now.

I still crank out tunes from like 2002-2003.

One thing I fucking love all the Northern Exposure cds from Digweed and Sasha!

All the cd's combined make the BEST compilation imo.

Disagree...

People were doing more drugs, everybody was friendly, everything was new, people smiling, more people in clubs...
People crying in their car while listening to trance on ecstasy backlash in the middle of the week...
LIstening to Northen Exposure while thinking of how fun it was last Saturday at Sona.
Music was better because people were not so cranky and bitter.

But I really don't see how the music itself was better than today. I have, in my opinion, as much awesome tracks, if not more, than I had back then. I have some late 90's CDs at home with uninspired cold loops for 3 minutes... Trends come and goes, but they all have their share of crappy tracks.

The music magic is lost because it was hard back then to find the name of a track. It was a mystery. You could go on for weeks trying to know what was that track that blew your mind. Today's it,s all OMFG HE DROP THAT TRACK AND THEN THAT TRACK AND OMG MIXED IT WITH THIS ONE.... first thing people ask is "was the set recored"... all about tracklisting, dropping the bombs, so little storytelling, so little underground. When clubs were full, you could go underground for hours, and people were fallowing the mood. Today, if you don't make them dance for 15 minutes or drop a popular bomb, they sit or they leave, because people are dancing as individuals.

A lot of things changed, but the music is still good.

Agreed. There's a lot of music I hear now where I know in 5 years, I will say "wow, it was great back then."

At any given time, there will always be crap and filler.

I agree with some of the things you said and disagree with others.The thing I look forward to when going out to afters is experiencing new sounds.(ie hearing tracks that i dont own)That is why i was so disapointed in Burridge not showing up last weekend.We arent all trainspotters and some of us still do live in the moment.I kill the next person who mentions Sona, because although we have very good afters here I seriously doubt anyone will ever capture the essence of those glory days with Richie Hawtin playing with his brand new toy final scratch and getting everyone drooling or Tiga acting the fool back in the day he still had his Mcgill Radio show.C fini ce temps la...all we can do is keep it alive and hope hip hop doesnt swallow everything with its generic popularity.
