I like listening to a song first before finding out who produced it.
That way, if I like it, I can be surprised.
After a while you just get to know who sounds like what and can pretty much guess who produced it.
Although there are some producers that never cease to amaze me.

good idea. i often find myself finding a track that sounds cool, but i read the name and it's all cheese.

on the other hand, if it's a track that everyone is raving about, and i don't particually care for it, i might keep it anyways.

Originally posted by cbxzcm It's kind of like that, but slightly different. Lets say you hear a song you never heard before, and it's completely mind blowing. Isn't it worth knowing who made that song? My friend says it's not that important.

Your friend probably doesn't care as much about music. As I said before, it drives me crazy not knowing...

That's exactly what I was trying to get at though, you just phrased it better.

I guess knowing who produced a song would have some weight, for example if they have a good reputation for producing awesome songs. But when I starting getting into trance I didn't know who was good and who wasn't, so I went to AG and typed in trance and just Dled everything. I had to sift through all the crappy songs to find the rare good ones, and most of the time they were from those one hit wonder DJ's who you don't hear about at all. So imo knowing who produced a song shouldn't really matter when discovering new trance songs.

Ok that is my spiel. Time for bed.

i don't care who makes the music... some artists don't produce music of a consistantly high standard. Even those artists that produce music which is consistantly of a high standard may produce tracks you don't like as its not your kinda thing.... The same goes for artists that usually make shit music.

Also you don't know the producer when your trying out new artists etc. So yeah i don't care as long as the music is good!

Before I was into trance, my friend would hog my computer and download all of these trance songs because he doesn't have DSL. At my house he would play Gouryella - Gouryella all the time, and I thought it was pretty good. When I found out the artist of this song, I searched for Gouryella and downloaded every song. By then I has hooked, and I checked out more trance songs. If I liked a particular song, I would check out more by the original artist. Even today, I still find myself repeating this same process of discovering songs. For me, knowing the artists was important in being introduced to trance and getting deeper into it. Does anyone find themselves doing the same thing as me, or something similar?

i prefer to know who made the good tunes i like, but if i hear a good tune and dont know who made it i still like it. i also used to get a track from an artist and get other tracks by the same guy, but i was dissappointed to many times so i dont do it as much.
i hate it when i hear a familiar tune and cant remember the name
also when i hear an excellent new tune i wanna know the name so i can get it for myself
later
