Stuff like Jim Rivers - I Go Deep, if played more and presented all the time would eventually get voted for top20 too...


This is true, however, when you become as big as Armin is you are forced to play what people want, and a majority of ASOT listeners want to hear cheese. Armin still plays a few gems here and there but for the most part he's just playing what his listeners want to hear; can't really blame him for that.

what is it with being number one on DJMag 100 turns top trance DJs into crap?

Tiesto was crap when he was number 1, but at least now his tracklists aren't as crappy as it used to be, plus he actually plays a lot of interesting tunes on his radio show

When fans totally dictate what a DJ plays, instead of DJ dictating the direction of his style, something's gone really screwy

Van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2004" compilation was great. So many great tracks..."sahara", "the search for freedom", "alba", "offbeat","kubik","future fun land", "ambience", "naked angel", "forbidden colours", "spiral","perfect wave",... all superb tracks and the others were not half bad either...


I think you are exaggerating here...

True, "001 A State if Trance" is much better (and so were the massive "Boundaries of imagination","Basic Instinct" and "In Motion", we are talking about the golden age of epic trance here) but i still find ASOT 2004 to immediately come after these releases (and yes i think its better in comparison to transparence). Just because it was released in 2004 doesn't make it bad. There were some great tracks released in 2004 ("spiral" was simply sublime and so was "the search for freedom").
