i'll forgive you for misinterpreting me since i was somewhat ambiguous..
i meant 'outdated' in terms of the production quality; ALOT of people value it, and find it hard listening to older stuff when the music they're used to is so much tougher & cleaner with tighter instruments & a fuller stereo field. i don't want to get into a debate regarding that since i'm fully aware of the opposing arguments (production shouldn't matter when the music is good/older rougher sounding stuff has more character to it, etc etc).. but it's an issue nonetheless
and 'scarely familiar' referred more to the style; trance back then was practically a different genre, which the music of the ASOT generation drafts little influence from. my point was that fans of ASOT trance like their music because of characteristics that might not be present in the majority of older trance... so including older trance in a collection of ASOT trance would be irrelevant to a degree. i think it's pretty safe to assume the majority of tracks on this cd will be from around the 98-99 era, since that period has shaped the current trance scene more than those prior to it
conclusively i'd argue that anyone with a sound knowledge of trance from ~97 onwards would have a valid enough insight for this cd
