if you think Armin and Tiesto plays the same kind of music they did 6 years ago then you are either deaf or just dumb. even Tiesto himself admits that he doesnt play the same stuff.

please kid if you started to listening to trance in the late ASOT era don't think that there wasn't any Armin before ASOT. Because there was and that is the Armin alot of those people you call "elitists" remember. that Armin was hungry, and played alot of tracks which others didnt pick up.

What does Armin mean with "Ableton mix"? Is that Armin using his computer "behind the scene" or is it something pre-recorded?

I know that. I was asking whether or not it will be a live mix...

There were trash tracks than, there are trash tracks now; but you will pick the best tune from 1993 and compare it from worst tune in 2006; and than say 1993 was better.

Noone can make new quality track every week, neither Armin; nor Tiesto or any DJ from 1993. And dont tell me year 1993 had more trance releases than 2006, and year 1993 had more number of 'good tracks' releases than year 2006.

And you are very arrogant to make a statement like 'I would pick ANY Art of Trance track'. What you mean ANY? Like he was a GOD; 100% of his works are jems. Not even a single track which is not off the mark? All of them better than Tiesto and Armin combined? Looks like ex-DJ worshipper to me.

ummmmmmm its pretty obvious they dont play the same music they did 6 years ago since the music itself has changed a lot :ugh:

I've been listening to trance since oakenfold was at the top, which was like 50 years ago. Armin still plays hot, unknown tracks. He just also plays the hits to satisfy the masses as well. It's really not that hard to understand.

Now as usual you are talking mince. Sail is basically a rehashing of Gaia - 4 elements. What is that not a "proper" trance tune either? You are right about Armin producing some cheese such as Shivers but Sail is far from it.

old school trance fucking sucks compared to the shit today. It just sounds so dated.

there were trash tracks back then too thats true. but if you listen to the vast amount of trance tracks which were released back then the majority stayed true to the true trance sound and were more or less free from popish elements such as cheesy vocals etc. pick labels such as Eye Q Records, Platipus, Superstition, MFS, Rising High Records and scan through their releases. and yes there were more good releases back then than now. I can honestly say that there are very few tracks which really catch my attention today. a couple of years ago I could waste my entire salary on trance records simply because of the amount of good and worth-having-releases.

unknown tracks? i don't see any uknown tracks in his ASOT-playlists. scan through his 2001 years ASOT or sets and you will find dozens of unidentified tracks.
