As for remixing, Armins remixes ALL SOUND THE FUCKIN SAME!!! his remix of time is the healer is a classic example of his unimaginativeness to another artists track. At least with tiesto and ferry, you get different styles of remixing, with armin its really rather boring, and i can almost hear the remix before its been made. If he was decent i wouldnt be able to PREDICT what his mixes would sound like. AVB, wakeup and do something original, stop being a sheep!!!

NEll, you're one of the most negative posters i think i've ever read! Every other word out of your mouth seems to be about the downfall of something or someone that is well established in today's trance world.. one needs only look at your sig, or read your posts. No one here is saying Armin never makes mistakes. All his remixes sound the same? THat's because he found a sound that people liked, and which sounded good!! IF you think Armin sucks so bad, come up with something better on your own! Besides, ALL DJS stick to one original sound that they create!! omfg! look at Solar Stone! Look at PvD! If you listen to Politics of Dnacing or Out There and Back, you will find THE SAME BEATS AND BASSLINES! That is because they are GOOD. Even your beloved MAtt Darey used the SAME FUCKEN bassline for all of his most famous productions. That's what trance is like. If you dont like it, come up with something better, or listen to something else.

you can't deny it, matt darey used the exact same bass and layering in loads of trax in '99, but i still love each and every one

and loads of others have done it, pvd and dumonde come to mind, so armin can't be singled out for it

i think you guys are spoiled for music, you expect people to make perfect tunes all the time. when someone makes a tune i don't like i just don't listen to it and wait for the next tune, it was in '99 as it is now, don't rely on one artist to make all your favourite tunes

mate, i think the point your missing is...... he may have his style, but hes had it for too long, im not saying hes shit.... but im saying that sooner or later you gotta evolve, you gotta go to that next step.... tiesto did it, but it seems he failed..... but that dosnt mean its not the right thing to do. armin has still been on the same level hes on now for too long. if he wants to stay at the forefront, hes gotta learn to try new things, before sumone else beats him to it and then they become the new sensation.

this may be a bad example. but look at eminem. his first album... (slimshady ep(i know not his first, but his frst recognised one)) aits all about doing drugs and killing ppl and fucking around, all the tracks have funny jivey little rhythms on them...... his second album (marshall mathers lp)... more cool laid back with more street credible lyrics and cooler rhythms...... his current album..... more on the morals side, its not all about killing ppl, being cool or down or whatever. you see what i mean, i know its a different style of music.... but if eminem kept on rapping about drugs and killing ppl etc.... theres no way hed have the fan base he has now.

and this is what armins gotta do..... and indeed ,all the other trance dj's out there. trance aint fresh anymore, everythings been done.... same old vibe given off from some girl singing about love or a state of mind and then the same old sounds used but in a different order, or whatever.

all's i'm saying is he is nowhere near as good a producer/dj as me. I think it's plain to see that i clearly own armin van buuren. And i'm thinking of buying over this dj tiesto character as well.

if there wasnt such a thing as mp3 sets then no one could say he isnt evolving or changing - cuz for sure his sets would be different from one time to the next when you hear him live

just too many livesets broadcasted - it ruins it - but i like it cuz he will never come to where i live

fact of the matter is whether producers use the same bassline or sound...IN THE END...wut counts is if it is good?



ex: nightcrawlers-never knew love(matt darey remix)
three drives-greece 2000(lost tribe"matt darey" remix)
gigolo-al paradiso(matt darey remix)
M3-bailamos(matt darey remix)


all same driving bassline and similar sounds....AMazing buildups and climax like no other producer can bring to u...


Armin van Buuren - Sunburn.mp3
armin van buuren remix of solid sessions-janeiro
Oceanlab - Sky Falls Down (Armin van Buuren Mix)
solarstone_-_seven_cities-(armin_van_buuren_vocal_mix)



these here all similar sound by avb...but IMO they are mediocre..THEY LACKED POLISH and seemed rushed....they lack the beauty of another producer who has similar "sounds" in his tunes..since this debate is heating up..

avb needs to polish his tunes up and IMO his last great remix was..

Ayumi_Hamasaki-Appears-(Armin_Van_Buurens_Sunset_Dub)
