Tiesto is a sellout, he doesn't give a shit about music, he only cares about flying around in a private jet and snorting lines of coke off bitches titties. Soon as trance money dried up, he hit the road. Even though Armin definitely plays music in support of his label that usually isn't what I, or most weathered trance fans enjoy, I can see he actually cares and respects the music for what it is, even if he's trying to stay relevant by modernizing his sound. In the end I'd take Armin's trouse over Tiesto's farty car alarm music a million times over if I had to pick between the two. That guy is about as washed up as can be.

You are absolutely right Tiesto moved cause of the money and shit but my point is that he came out and said he was done with TRANCE obviously he tried to sugarcoated saying it was to try different sounds, end of a phase, all that BS but we all know the reason was $$$ and its okay to sell out and make more money but be honest about it and dont portray uself like the tranceGOD u r really not. Anyway too much hate on a guy who I happen to have in my avatar picture

Oh dear, i guess i was gone for awhile.

Ten years ago: When I first heard Communication I fell in love. It was a something that I’d never heard before. More importantly, it was a song that made me feel something, but made that feeling change. That change in emotion was what made me want to dance.

I think your question goes to the heart of how I define “trance.” I sure wouldn’t define it as wiki does, and maybe TAs should edit that site a bit more. My primary definition would be “active emotional change.” This has been trance for me when I first heard it, and remains to this day.

Now: My three favorite tracks are Elements of Nature by Rank 1 and M.I.K.E., We Are by Hazem Beltagui & Allan V., then Humming the Lights by Gaia. Not a huge fan of D# Fat, but it still has a grove, and I can still dance to it.

What Armin and the other top DJs play is what I consider trance. Todays trance has more of the active change that I've always liked. Sure, there's new beats included, but it makes me feel and want to dance. I think more than it used it. Electro, house, dubstep, dnb, feel dead to me. But when a dash of these beats are brought into trance, I can dig it.

I try not to compare Communication to Elements of Nature, or ASOT 2004 to ASOT 2013. But, the latter makes me want to dance as much as the former. It’s not going to be what we used to hear, but I think I’d love the tracks I love today if I heard then 10 years ago.

I don't understand, are for you foreal? or are you making this up?

A lot of artists today are just victims, not having control, and they're not free. And that's pathetic. If you start being dependent on money, then money has to reach a point to fit your expenses. - Thomas Bangalter

Thanks for sharing. Again, I wasn't trying to make fun of you and sorry if I came off that way.

For me personally I feel that when I'm listening to ASOT & Armin's livesets today, I'm trying my best to tolerate the music, let alone actually enjoy it. That's why I'm as disappointed as the others in the thread. And to pay an outrageous price to try to tolerate something like music when you should be enjoying it, it just doesn't make sense & it naturally sparks anger towards Armin, his mgmt, the scene, the YOLO kids, etc, etc. But good on you (I guess) if you enjoy can enjoy tracks like D#Fat.

But I agree wholeheartedly with the others when they say do not accept Armin & Armada's bullshit of what they call trance to actually be the best kind of trance music out there. That is very far from the truth and if you want a taste of a different trance experience that you may end up enjoying, the Solarstone PURE Trance party is highly recommended.

Oh and to the guy calling us unemployed morons, I'm a proud TA member who graduated from University at 20 yrs old, became a bank manager at 22, and is now starting a new business at 24. To say something as ignorant as you previously stated is very far from the truth & just plain unacceptable.

Ahahah did you guys hear him on pete tong radio about the new album. His first single is a SHM song. Electro house with some trance and dubstep. This guy is an absolute joke. Proves us all right to these new listeners of the music who worship armin. Asot600mia will be my last show and its only to see markus spin.
