good riddance.

they made some good tracks, but most of their tunes were crap, especially recently. also why are people classifying them as trance? i haven't heard any trance from them.

Yeah, Gabriel & Dresden were NOT trance. His sound was something like Progressive House.. good choons, but not my style

2006 was one of g&d's more notably popular tech-prog trance days.. now that they have just gone it is though it seems that their current work are nothing but mere replicates but in a lazier way IMO

I think they were pretty Trancey in the earlier days, with their remix of No One On Earth stands out as the most prominent example of this, pounding away at 138bpm (and also classifies as some of their finest work, in my opinion).

No multi-member project can stay together forever.

It'll probably result in better productions from both parties, because as a pair, they probably fell into a pattern that resulted in their somewhat limp performances as of late.

I've never heard of a Gabriel & Dresden performance that could be described as anything but "limp."

Imagine the worst roller coaster ride you have ever been on. If you've never been on a bad roller coaster, then imagine what it would be like. Really, really, really bad.

I missed a live Bodzin set because of these assholes as well.

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I totally agree with you.

Originally posted by PaulSn They were never any good. Sure, a couple a good remixes but that's as far as this duo went. Originally posted by Trance-M Yes, I would say "Faithless - It's a Kind of Peace (Gabriel and Dresden Remix)" proves that one.

I was referring to the first part "They were never any good."

i agree a lot of their new stuff is "go nowhere" but theyve had a lot of good stuff. check out their bloom cd. its pretty legit in my opinion. their replay the night remix was pretty sick as well. and finally check out their 3 hour set at pacha new york in early 07. its pretty fuckin good, not your typical gabriel and dresden set.

Bloom was the real deal (yes, it mostly wasn't their own tracks). But IMO if you want to see the best of what they had to offer style-wise before they went crap-electro and TTD on us definitely check out that cd. It's night and day.
