Uh, no. Just because endless producers copied their sound after Airwave hit doesn't mean it's cheese. It changed the face of the trance scene and the fact that it achieved commercial sucess has no bearing on it. Cheesy tracks follow trends and beat a tired sound into the ground (further examples are unnecessary); innovative tracks present a new sound that is then copied ad infinitum (eg, Airwave, Out of the Blue, etc).

And since you mentioned it, Awakening is infinitely cheesier than Airwave due to its blatent overuse of stabby synths. I still like the song, particularly the Benicio mix, but it will hardly be seen as a classic.

What are you talking about??? How many cheesy tunes sound as sick as Airwave??? This tune is a classic? maybe I am wrong, but just my opinion

Airwave is a classic.
If you say it's cheese then a lot of trance tracks are cheese...

or for you cheese is just a track that meets a huge success ?
if so that doesn't make a lot of sense as they probably didn't imagine they would have such success with this track in the beginning.

And they are: Gouryella – Gouryella, System F – Out Of The Blue and a whole host of other classics made the top 40 in this country, the only thing is the cheese was BETTER back then.

Once again you're incorrectly placing tracks in the "cheese" column based on their commercial success. Where a track hits in the pop charts has absolutely nothing to do with their inherent value. And your "the cheese was BETTER back then" comment is sorely misguided. Don't let nostalgia get the best of you. Besides, just like Airwave, Out of the Blue and Gouryella were unique, innovative tracks.
