used to like him, traxx like "der schieber", "ubik the dance", "riding on a storm".
"to get down" is ok although it isn't trance at all.. prog house I think
I heard some new track from him in the mtv dancefloor chart and I didn't like it very much. too housy for me, I prefer trance. He's also becoming overplayed I guess.

WOH WOH WOH ppl calm down i'm not bashing trance! and i don't mind drifting away either. But u have to admit that it is the more girlier, poppier side of trance. (this is what timo hates)
Btw don't cuss the doug laurent mix of sash - just around the hill till u v heard it. it's bloody awesome and if u like rank 1 / cosmic gate/ shokk/ flutlicht etc you should think about getting it.
Timo Maas once commented in a Ministry or Mixmag magazine 2 years back he's dislike the overhype of trance...and he also dissed ATB, his german counterpart, on his cheesy productions and trance is not all about cheddar or Swiss....
As for the starting track, it's no surprise to me....if you have been following his compilations...Timo has included quite a few trancers in them....
All I can say is Timo Maas is a good producer but he's a walking contradiction...

Timo's just another schizophrenic arist. Trying to please those who decry trance as being "too cheesy" and his newfound chart friends who seem to love a lot of the most poppier dance productions (all of which are trance).
Note to Timo,
Stop trying to please everyone.

i agree. Timo maas has some cool productions and interesting style. The only trance production i can think of from him is 'de schuber' (sp). Ubik (the dance) is a cool house type of tune. On the other hand, i havent heard too many of his productions.

Welcome to the sad world of hypocrites
There are a lot of hypocrites in this world who are stupid and arrogant. I guess Timo Maas is one of them.
Frankly, I think he SUCKS, and I find his "music" (ahem) extremely boring.
But I guess he's trying to be "cool" by dissing Trance. You know, like Sasha and Digweed. Presumably these aristocrats made it a fashionable thing to do, it's something you do to look "cool."
By the way, Timo Maas, Sasha, and Digweed are not the only hypocrites dissing Trance. Look at your "idol" Paul van Dyk. The man is even embarassed to say the word "trance," for God's sake. If you mention this word to him, he cringes.
Hypocrites and traitors...

I would be ashamed too if people would start putting me in the same category as all the fluff synth-overuse big-monster-breakdown pop electronic anthems that passes as trance nowadays.

well
im pretty sure he was aware of the lyrics in the tune...no big deal..he is probably referring to the cheese flying around..he made it in 2001...and released the album this year...2001 was a shitty year for trance and he was emphasizing that i assume....BTW timo maas is a excellent producer who produces unique tunes...and not crap like atb, pulsedriver, ian van dahl, fragma.....which is all dirty cheese
