Even though I wasn't there, after watching the entire thing from my home I feel I'm entitled to write a bit of a review based on what I saw in KH..

Markus Schulz:

A Solid 7/10.

Played way different than what I thought he would. Not saying that's a bad thing at all, but I felt he really lost the crowd with a few of the more drawn-out mixes. That being said, I think he did a superb job in some spots.

Grayarea:

A Solid 7/10.

Maybe it's because you're TRANCEaddicts, maybe it's because you're not all producers or performers, but I was in the ETN chat and people were quite frankly slagging off on a well done Live PA. They're entirely different from what a lot of people are used to, and while I'm not going to defend them I think one has to keep an open mind to the absolute beauty that is Progressive Breaks. For Chrissakes, he was pleading w/ the Crowd 'No more Breaks after this'. Jesus.. They (the crowd) seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit though.

Blank and Jones:

A Respectable 8/10.

I used to HATE Blank and Jones. If it wasn't a mediocre performance, it was them blantantly ripping off other reputable artists in their productions. I had no love for Jaspa or Piet. However, seeing them in action tonight actually impressed me; clever track selection, great timing, solid (albeit lightning quick) beatmatching and a great feel to the set really left me wishing they'd stay on another hour. Christ knows Lowell'd loved that. Throw in some tasty singalongs and a stomper of a classic to top it off and you have a very happy camper.

Armin van Buuren:

An Outstanding 9/10.

Whoo, yeah. Armin got the big points here. Not for any reason other than personal preference. He started off as he typically does, but rather than play the same shit he does on ASOT, he reads the crowd and goes hard. As our good man Dennis Hahn would say 'Jesus Christ, Armin must have been Angry. He went HARD.' That statement summed up his performance at Decadence II and would fit well here. With tracks like 'Damager 02', 'Cherry Blossom' and 'Play it Louder' (FUCK YEAHHH), This man came to leave you all with your ears ringing and your asses sore. Even Anthems like Greece 2000 were played in the Mark Norman form, thus kicking serious ass even further. Epic Trancers should have been pacified with Inertia, Menno de Jong's latest and even an unreleased Robert Nickson track. It would have been the vocal one after 'Children of the Sun'.

I can safely say that the party going on in Kool Haus was one hell of a shindig, and I now wish I had come despite my incredibly poor health. Two days recovery in a hospital would have been WELL worth it.

I just wish he played The Morning After, that would have just killed me, but I'll settle for the recognition. Must sleep ...

Arney,

After the conversation we had earlier, I'm not sure wether I'd shit my pants or cry if I heard 'The Morning After'.

gawd i still have the pulsing bass in my head LOL.

Was planning on meeting all you TOTA's today (mainly because I brought two complete Trance/rave n00bs with me, and I wanted to show them how you guys party properly - btw, they loved the whole thing ), but I arrived at the TA meetup at like 12:25, and didn't see any familiar faces. I'd say the only two SOLID (meaning ppl that post a lot) TOTAS that I met were Playa24_7, and some Brown guy I've met before, but couldn't remember his TA name - when I see his avatar, I'll remember. Oh, and Niveole, of course, but he doesn't count.

There were others, but I can't remember them. Some of you prolly saw me - really tall, skinny guy, wearing red shirt over white t-shirt and orange shorts, who always had the same 2 girls follow hm around, lol.

The music and full review will come when I get some sleep. I just wanted to throw out some shout-outs.

My head is still bobbing as I'm typing this, fuck.
