thanks for the info. It was obvious something had gone wrong somewhere.

you're right

plus, if i understand correctly, these are still the vocals/lyrics that will be used for the official vocal version, only they will be mixed into the track much better..

so basically this means:

1. crappy lyrics
2. putting vocals on top of a tune that is clearly produced in a style that is not meant to have vocals
3. sell-out

quote:

"If you don't like this new vocal version, just listen to the original version. There's no point in calling me names or losing faith in me. I will continue making awesome music for you real Mike-fans, don't worry about that. Just don't let this incident change your view on me as an artist!"

yazper's comment made me feel a little better now, but i must admit i had lost faith in mike for a moment after that story of his site admin.. yet i can't help feeling this "new" vocal version will be crap as well, as i can't imagine any type of female vocals fitting into the original.. so in that perspective, i'm still rather disappointed, but i guess i can't come to a conclusion without hearing it.. i know he's a great producer, but i am a bit hesitant towards a vocal version..

OMG, The vocals are totally cheesy and they overshade the great melody, you can barely hear the track.

Shame On M.I.K.E.

so for making a comercial tune, becomes shit? yeah putting vocals on top of a good tune is very bad, but what's the problem in winning a few €€€?

Calling The Freak - Your Time Is Up
Musix - Cyber Desire
Solar Factor - Urban Shakedown
Mr. Sam vs. Fred Baker - Forever Waiting (M.I.K.E. Remix)

I am very skeptical to this vocal version myself, but after all Rozalla is one of the big house divas from the early 90s, so it's no wonder that he wouldn't like to give it a go (even tho what she did with Aquagen was repulsive enuff,I assume MIKE hasn't heard that).

No offense Mosh,but MIKE is far from your average cheese producer. I agree that lately a good deal of his work has been lazily produced:

quote:

Like that for instance.But if you actually bothered to listen to those tracks paranoiko listed(cos I don't think you have,at least not the more minimal,dark stuff like Mass Effect,Return Of The Native,Blackmaster or Absolute),you'll find out that he's a very talented artist, with more versatility than most of his collegues. And adding vocals to a track doesn't necessarily have to mean disaster (Cass & Slide - Perception is a good example of that IMO), but I'll admit that I have a hard time envisioning vocals on top of a track like Live Another Life.

1. he is asked a million times to do a remix --> very little time in which to do so
2. he agrees to do so much remixes, because he needs money to survive (today it is impossible to do one remix and be a millionaire)
3. people expect to hear a certain sound when they ask for a 'push remix'

3 reasons why his remixes are pretty similar

when it comes to own material:

quote:

silver bath vs. morphosis vs. arctic cat vs. turn the lights off vs. ...

i can't see any similarities here

some of his work under a certain alias are alike, but that's because when people see this particular alias they think of a certain sound.. that's why journey of life is similar to i.e. tranzy state of mind, because generally people expect that

suppose he released alphascan under his 'push' alias.. everybody would be like 'wtf?! what's this?'

SL I havn't heard all the tracks there but I heard quite a few that u can hear the mike sound that doesn't change

quote:

even if he didn't its still crap and cheesy shite.

Like I said before vocals can be good ,but when u take a good track (not to keen with this) and add vocals to him to make money that pure cheese

well, this is pretty repulsive stuff, in the proud tradition of Aquagen - Everybody's Free...what fucking crappy vocals, badly mixed in, drowning out what could be a perfectly awesome melody. I can't believe any self-respecting DJ would drop this trainwreck and I REALLY don't want to believe that Mike actually authorised this. It's tracks like these that cause so many people to believe that trance sucks. and i agree with what was said before, too bad there isn't a puking emoticon.

mike should be bitchslapped as punishment for this. and as for dave pearce, he needs to be shot.
