in addition, zombie nation sold well over a million singles in the uk alone. we most def have gone nowhere near as close.

Just because something has charted fairly high doesn't mean it's death ... plenty of PvD tracks have already proved that.
ATRC though is one of those genre crossing tracks that has been picked up by pretty much everyone and flogged to death hence all the original fans being tired of it.

I agree with you, these people don't have a clue honestly (no disrespect meant). ATRC was the best tune of 2003, fair enough you here it everywhere you go but thats not a bad thing, making profit is what it's all about, i wish it never got on the radio and got a general release but at the end of the day this is G&D's living.
I believe it is still a masterpiece, i only wish i could produce tunes anywhere near as good as these 2!
(i must agree, it is annoying when you here shitty radio stations who play shite all day play such a good a record, they play it that much that you get bored of it, and thats the shame)

MTV Dance in the UK do sometimes play some good shit
A few weeks ago was watching it until around 3am, one great video after another
Astral Projection - Chaos
BT - Embracing the Sunshine
The one thing MTV Dance does really badly is research. Anyone remember the screenshot of the 'Ferry Corster remix'? Well the other night on the Creamfields '04 show the caption read: 'Mario Picotto' oh the shame

Bullshit. One million singles in the UK alone would make it one of the Top 100 best-selling singles in the UK chart history, which it definitely isn't. In the 2000 overral Top 40, Zombie Nation were at number 38, and KernKraft 400 hit number 2 for two weeks. There's no way in hell the track sold a million singles in the UK.
Yeah...Sandstorm didn't even go platinum in the UK and it's a worldwide multi-platinum track.
Actually I don't know if that proves any points...meh.

and at the same time, I've never liked it ever
I remember the first time it got played on sensation i think it was, Ferry had just banged out a mint set, ended very techy-cum-electroish with stuff like RYBR (F Massif Rmx) and Armin came on so much slower and i felt so much energy go, but even 2 minutes into the song people were calling it the best song ever, i never understood why & i still don't

I admit it doesn't have an amazing build up, but the main lead gets me everytime. And the bass...
I guess I have some personal attachements to it. I'm no fan of the original or any other version tho..
