First time I heard the song I thought it sounded like some bedroom producer from some FL forum threw that together in like 2 days or something. It sounds very unpolished and "empty" and "cold", but I think this is exactly what he wanted to make. Kinda old skool vibe I guess.
The only thing I like about the song is the fact that it was released as the first single from Mirage. He explained in an interview basically that he released that track to show people he hasn't sold out and knows where he's coming from. I kinda dig that. Would love to see the reaction of those 14 year old "Armin 4eva, lololo!!11" fanboys when they first heard this
Since this is a production forum -> I dislike the mix on that track. Where is the fucking bass? I'm so sick of these Gaia/Gareth Emery treble kicks... Fucking sounds like it was high passed at 100Hz and high shelf boosted to 6db...
edit: I don't know if you guys know this, but he actually used v-station for the lead.

it is a low quality mp3 and the reverb is probably where it belongs in the 80s.
Lmao, funny shit.
Is it just me or does he look like he's either hung over really bad and hasnt slept in 2 days, or is he wearing some kind of face darkening make-up right at the beginning of the video...???
Also, what's with the white shirts? You'd think with all his money he could afford to buy more than 1 color.

his poses are getting quite good tho. I can't imagine the frustrating hours meticulously adjusting his body with a mirror aid. I bet he has a 3d video capture system that analyzes the limb placement to make his poses flawless. And all the time spent watching Passion of the Christ and other JC flicks. He should develop a harness where mid show during some intense build, he is raised from the ground on a giant glow stick cross that shoots lazer beams. God is a dj, and by the transverse properties of the nonsensical catholic trinity, god is AVB and the proof can be seen at 45 minutes into the set when the super cross rises and the trance music is god talking that is of course if you're high. Otherwise I suppose you are trying to put a roofie in the gogo girls drink.
Thread is brimming with win, but this takes the blue ribbon with honorable mention going to Mr. Cannons.

as a dj. you always want to wear white. It is just easier to see and you might just glow if there is black light around which is super fun. He does look quite douchy tho.
It does'nt need reverb - the track is punchy and what the masses can easily engage with. Some producers make the equivolent of French film Noire - loads of creditibility with the beautiful people, but fuckshit boring to the masses.
This track is easy, punchy, catchy - everything you want for a bit of fun.
well. First time i heard his tunes was around 04-05. First time i saw him was in march 2006(as i wasnt 18 till then) i was hooked straight away.
Agreed some of his new tunes are questionable but i still think most of his new tunes are good. Take Imagine for eg.. there is some real nice sounding music on that album.

To me it looks like a tribute to the great electronic musicians of the 70's, like Jean Michel Jarre, Klaus Schulze etc. Try to find some live footage from these days and you'll probably come across that white shirt.
Here's an example:
Anyways, I think it doesn't help if we keep grumping about how Armin is ruining the scene. If you don't like what he plays and produce, send some sort of message to him. Handwritten letters through snail mail is the best way to get his attention and response.
