As for Burns, you claimed that Armin's mixing skills are shitty. I think you should get your ear drums checked every fortnightly. There seems to be too much EAR WAX accumulating, thereby causing you to warp the beats and keys.

LOL!

Name one bad armin track this year... and dont say sunburn because there are A LOT of people who love this track.

So far this year, I have been loving Armin's sets and works. As for a bad track, the closest production is Blue Fear. I've been listening to it for a hundred times and sad to say, I feel nothing for that track....

well, I was just curious what you other ppl thought. I don`t think that armin and m.i.k.e. could be compared in other cases, they sound completly diffrent.

Armin is far from a fag, he is a great dj imo, even if I personally don`t like his latest remixes of janeiro and seven cities.

We all have diffrent opinions about what`s good and not as we can see above, but I could never say that armin is a bad producer or dj.

Originally posted by burns Armin is starting to piss me off. His remix of riva is a rip of plastic boy. His sunburn production is a rip of flight 643. He should never remixed 7 cities because it didnt need a remix, he got alot of credit for a amazing track wich any-one could have remixed and been praised the way he did, way to much. He also remixed janiero wich i also think shouldent have been remixed, because its a brilliant old track thats should have been left to die but is now on every shelf in every local record store, the track will now be beaten to death and have no effect Also the last like 5 live shows i heard from him...His mixing is soooooooo bad, reallly really bad man. Armin = Fag = Im going to get my balls flamed so i think i will bail

i agree with the first paragraph

Hey DaveC, You need to let your guard down man. Fair dues i get pissed when some one starts lashing at Tiesto like-wise with you and Armin. You cant honestly say that Armins mixing is world class DJ style and like-wise with Tiesto. My thread, wich i look at now was a bit dumm due to the fact that it was going to wind people up but all i wanted to put across is that Armin 5remix of sunburn and riva sounds very familiar to Plastic Boy (dont say it doesnt) and flight 643.

Anyways, sack this, can we still be freinds man, cant be arsed with flame war and all that Freinds ?

Sorry for flaming Armin, at the end of the day he pounds Trance music out and has done alot in the music industry, amen

P.S - Stillthink im a dummass ? PM me we can arrange something.

i think avb's strenght is to make a beautiful melody powerfull with his own sounds and time is the healer just hasn't got a good melody. i think that it is a boring simple short melody, thats why avb had to bring the bassline more in front and off course then you almost get a mike song. the original is just too much crap for a great avb remix.

maybe avb is trying out some stuff, like tiesto is doing. allmost everybody is saying that he is making crappy remixes. i have to admit i dont like them either, its not my style of trance, but i dont think they are crap. i think (like somebody already mentioned in another thread) that tiesto is way a head of us in feeling music.he practicly made the whole trance-scene, his whole life is trance. i think he'd know better then us how its going to evolve. he puts stuff in his songs,remixes that we just don't hear. Maybe aren't open minded enough, i dunno. But trance doesn't have to be all epic and uplifting. There are just too much of the same songs (especially the epic and uplifting ones), thats what the whole trance scene is killing i think.

i also think we expect too much of them, they cant make a classic of every song. they are just humans like we are. give them some credit.
just dont hype every song the big names make. i got nothing against hyping, just dont hype the artist, hype the song.

avb did, with his capabilities, the most he could do with this song. i just think this song isn't that suitable for an avb remix.
i find that avb did a great job, too bad its not my kind of thing, i'm more into his remixes of seven cities, janeiro, rapture, ...

thats just my opinion

greets

btw does anybody heard of has a rip of cygnus-x - positron (avb remix)
is it any good, realy like to hear it. thx

maimum respect! im so glad you had enough (even if there toasty now) balls to say so...
i agree! same deal with seven cities classics are classics for a reason they shouldn't be touched...
im not so much apposed to the remix as i am to the VOCAL remixes
they destroy classics left right and centre like cloudwalking! there about to ruin that with new remixes i believe... i heard one in armins recent set... it was ok... but the vocal remix is gonna be fucked... i think alot of people blow his (armins) trumpet because they know he reads the boards... and fair enough hes a great talent... but maybe thats why you see everyone going onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn about it like you say anyway!

that said armins coming to perth in october and im fucking excited!
