Matanka - Lost in a Dream (Push Trancendal Mix)
is actually named: Push Trancendental Mix

and Sinead O' Connor - Troy (Push Remix) is 2001, as it was on the GC Experience_ Album (Jan 2002) after its original release about 2 months before

aye, same kinda kick, snares but M.I.K.E.'s synth sounds are the same in most of his productions/remixes this year.

At least if Ferry chnages his guise, he changes the style with it.

Unfortunately Twig is only considering productions released under the Push alias. Of course M.I.K.E. uses many project names and produces tracks varying from melodic to dirty tech-trance and everything in between. Sure, all the Push remixes sound the same. That's his most commercial project, and labels know that particular sound sells records. Do you think they would even let him do it any differently? Take a listen to Crash Guard, Liquid Overdose, Perfect State, Calling The Freak, etc. releases and you'll see they're nothing like what you mentioned. And for the record Paul van Dyk really has only one style (despite dabbling in other areas of music on occasion) -- it works, it's refined, and it sells records. I like his productions. But it would be impossible to call them anything but formulaic.

I do like some pvd music mike as u know, but i think its the general 'i know everything' attitude of him that pisses me off, like the prog heads who think that they're special, everyones equal here and the majority of us get on well

i totally disagree with this. PvD has produced tunes of various style, and remixed and reworked tunes from so many diff genres its almost hard to keep track of. His discography is huge, and even huger than most would know since there are so many that go unreleased and unheard of.

Plastic Boy and Exposure are both the same formula too

Come on...

M.I.K.E. or PvD...whos had the better year? If you say PvD, you are a dumbshit, even PvD fans know he hasnt had a great year!

I only like Silverbath and Icecream.. the rest is crap!

You know, you're probably right, but I still believe M.I.K.E. has a more diverse discography (that doesn't make him necessarily better, mind you) and therefore Twig was silly to make such a comment... but then again it was just flame bait and I suppose I fell for it. Enough out of me then.

goto agree there, pvd hasnt had a 'bad' year, done nothing wrong, just Mike has hammered out so much more.
