LOL, no worries man... I just had to be on the other end of the "OMFG you like a chessy rip off track" argument at least once, you know?

And in any event, I share your opinion in regards to at least a good amount of what's out there right now, hence the switch to more prog/house (Which are still rife with bad tracks and ripoffs...!)

Just for my own information, what tracks are you referring too? I'm just ignorant of them/hence my digging of these highly disputed tracks... It seems like whenever you even mention them a thread somewhere in the vein of all the "Tiesto" threads I've trawled over begins...

Off the top of my head:

Orion - Eternity
Angelic - It's My Turn
Traveller - Bright Sign (Trance Mix)
Factoria - A Legend's Legacy

It's about as bad as the Lolo - Why vs Sasha - Xpander debate. I'm particularly surprised that Armin has chosen to use these melodies so closely considering he was involved in a suit with Mauro Picotto for Like This, Like That copying elements of Blue Fear.

Cool, thanks man, I'll definitely be checking those out...

And wasn't it kind of established that "Like This, Like That" was essentially just a blatant rip off of "Blue Fear?" I thought I read that somewhere, but to be honest, I've never actually taken the time to find/listen to a copy of "Like This, Like That."

The "Why" v. "Xpander" debate is definitely an interesting point of reference tho... it must be REAL blatant...

Thanks again, Peace,

RJT

Always a pleasure to actually have a conversation about music that doesn't regress into bashing / flaming / 'I'm better than you' kind of garbage.

Couldn't agree more... I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that some of us understand that we don't know everything, and aren't necessarily going to find the answer just by Google'ing it...

It's finals time anyway, so I'm just all about getting educated right now!

Thanks again man, looking forward to actually meeting you on Saturday! Peace.

i think i made it to afters that night - i can't seem to remember

Originally posted by ctprincess that show and set were insane! none of his other sets since then have lived up to that one.

i have taken that show as a huge learning experience...

1) don't arrive @ Vision at 10pm when doors open
2) don't drink 3 shots of liquid cocaine, a cosmo, and 4 mixed drinks in under 2 hours
3) don't go out to a club with a guy who hates you because you hooked up with his best friend
4) don't date a guy whose name is the same as the headlining DJ (it can be confusing when you hear "you're missing Armin!" and you think it means "stop making out with that guy because you miss your boyfriend")
5) make sure you explore the entire club so you don't end up in the wrong room the entire night while you're so drunk you don't even notice you're dancing to a DJ Sammy song



at least i caught the last 30 min of Armin's set, and the encore which was pretty amazing.
