Well to say that "no one else in trancedom can come up with something that musically well thought out" is very ignorant, don't you agree?

I mean, have you heard every producer's work? No?

I rest my case...

in context, i'm referring to the use of that specific sample-Psychofuk. it fitted tiesto's new style perfectly. it certainly wouldn't have been the same had it been worked by someone else (duh).

anyways, that's just my very own subjective opinion based on my taste. i don't see what's so offensive about it.

Er... No you aren't. It was in response to tor's question "how is it complex?". You were blatently speaking in general as the sample hadn't even been mention at that point.

sorry, i'm not gonna read over the whole damn thread every time i post. that's besides the point. when i was talking about complexity this is what i was talking about, using the sample this way:

quote:

The melody is based on a simple chromatic progression(which means it moves in semitones) starting in a continuous repetion of C#-C. This is complemented with a long crescendo that ends up in the resolution of the C#-C cadence, by moving up to the scale's subdominant at F. The melody then proceeds to move up in a major key up to an A, which is resolved downwards in a melodic minor scale leading back to an intensified version of the original C#-C repetition. This all happens in counterpoint modal movement to the steady bassline in Bb and its resolving overtone of A. The harmony this creates is a minor third continually leading to dissonant major second, an effect that creates mad tension in the listener, forcing your ear to ask for that swift resolution that comes when the melody moves to the subdominant-dominant.

Nice attempt at changing the subject, but were talking about this comment here...

"no one else in trancedom can come up with something that musically well thought out"

I'm not talking about complexity. I'm not talking about technical *ahem* 'quality'. I'm talking about you making a completely ignorant comment and refusing to accept that what you said is wrong.

Because what I said is an opinion and just that, I never said it was a fact. Nothing else needs to be said.

James Holden - A Break in the Clouds. Personally I have yet to hear another track like it.

Mark Otten - Tranquility / Mushroom Therapy

apparently, traffic is indeed very original musically speaking..
a friend of mine who studied music theory classified traffic as being unusual in terms of chords..

however i'm not sure if that was tiesto's intention.
after all he doesn't have any musical background..

and even if it was, it's still a very dull track productionwise..
