ANTHEM TRANCE IS OVER FOR GOOD R.I.P it really had some great times with it but definatly has to go now ..its getting old and past due!

so why u on these boards then, go join some fucking progressive board then & stop complaining 2 us TRANCEADDICTS that epic-trance is shite, without epic trance, trance wouldn't be around, and probaly neither would, progressive

Well I feel the need to defend some songs here.

Ligaya
I first came to tranceaddict around the time when the hype for this was really building. I didnt know what all the fuss was about. I knew of gouryella but was never really moved by the music at that time. Anyways, Ligaya was released and everyone was scrambling to give it a listen. There was such a wide spectrum of reactions, but overall the consensus was that it wasn't the best gouryella tune. Hearing this, I decided to find out what was so great about gouryella that everyone was crying about. Turns out, I find Walhalla and fall in love. Anyway, the song is alright. Remember people it's damn near impossible to constantly put out banging hits.

Svenson and Gielen
I agree that "Answer the Question" was subpar, but to the people who said S&G have put out utter shit this year, I'll just point you towards "Fujirama". It's not the best, but it's not bad.

Armin
I seriously dont see what's wrong with most of the songs that are mentioned. Most of the songs are pretty diffrent, but being at #5 (or something) on this years dj poll shows he must be doing somethings right. And for the amount of time that Armin has been in the studio I'll give him credit for a crap song here and there.

i have to say this thread is wrong. i dont care if an admin/mod or whatever he is made it, it is bang out of order. if you browse the first 4 pages all you see is ligaya, and occasionly punk. just so everyone know FC browses this forum and i dont think he'd like to think his work is unnapreciated. dont give me a bullshit response saying its constructive critism and that it will help him in the future, he can judge that for himself by seeing the responses by crowds at his sets (and i bet half of the ones dissing, will be chantign along to punk etc) instead, give credit where it is due, stop the flamming, its LAME. im dissapointed a mod started it and also the fact it hasnt been close yet. ffs, LAME. Neo do what your best at....

why because trance isnt just epic trance.... and i been on this board pretty much longer then 99% of these folks on here..... and yes i think epic trance has gone to shits and its my fuckin opinion ..i love trance still but not all trance is just epic and epic doesnt make up trance ... i used to love epic dont get me wrong but its utter shit now people on here need fluffy melodies and everything else doesnt matter ...no one cares about basslines,beats,layout,and just structure of a song ..its all about how well the breakdown is and the little meldoic riff that everyone loves so much ...honeslty for me listening for over 4 years now its PRETTY DAMN OLD ...ther is no originality or talent put in majority of the epic productions its just the same bullshit over and over again i guess its all they know ...epic made progressive what are you on crack ..... like me saying fuckin techno made pop.... i used to be so neive and never would think that epic could get old but it has and sooner or later many will change to other styles because its bond to happen to you because it happens to everyone ...evolution of music people get tired of the same layout and formula ..your ears always want to hear new shit...


EPIC TRANCE is Dead for right now it has for the last year or so.... im not saying progressive is the best they have ton of shit productions comming out lately as well...all im saying people have been jumping on the epic bandwagon for over 4-5 years but many fans that listened to it since 99 religiously most have changed there style somewhat .. mayb give it a few more years and mayb epic movement will rise again with some innovation mayb.....just look at producers ..seriously are the epic tracks that came out 99-2000 and the trance from the same artist now seriously u can see the tracks now are even half as good as they were in 99 thats because artist dont know what to do anymore then just do the same bs over and over again ...

and to Az i spelled your name purposely wrong Azz ....ill keep on saying people will see the bigger picture sooner or later ...

jeez i never said i liked this track. Fucking crap-o-rific from the start. About as good as your average N-sync track

the thing is that there is such a great hype about a song and then when one hear's it sounds worse than it really is. THere is just to much build up and the let down seems bigger than it is. anyways does anyone like my avatar hopefully it comes up
ooh; didn't like wavy gravy and a lot of other stuff

maybe its tune, cuz the original song is good, all pvd did was add his gay bassline, original 0wnz it. On the note of pvd is there anything he did in 2002 that isnt repetative crap?
