Once again you're incorrectly placing tracks in the "cheese" column based on their commercial success. Where a track hits in the pop charts has absolutely nothing to do with their inherent value. And your "the cheese was BETTER back then" comment is sorely misguided. Don't let nostalgia get the best of you. Besides, just like Airwave, Out of the Blue and Gouryella were unique, innovative tracks. |
It all depends on how you’d go about defining exactly what cheese is. You’d say that cheese is anything that is produced with an eye of solely making money and attaining a chart position and recognition, regardless of musical value. I’m saying cheese is anything that makes a chart grade and is a widely recognised. Really, what I’m saying is actually just commercial and to be honest your definition is the better one for cheese, but all the same, take Airwave, all the beer boys in their Ben Shermans and Rockports at the local ritzy all know how it goes. I wish they didn’t but they do. It gets spun beside the likes of scooter, and they all love it. 
RE: "the cheese was BETTER back then"
I tend to disagree, how often do we see a good, non vocal trance tune gain a decent chart position these days? I don’t pay attention to the top 40, so I’m prepared to be proven completely and utterly wrong, but off the top of my head the last decent non vocal trancer that made the charts was the 2000 remake of Strange World. Maybe the cheese wasn’t better back then, but the trance tunes that gained commercial recognition tended to be. Possibly I am letting nostalgia get the best of me, but it’s hard not to with tunes of the like of Carte Blanche, Gouryella etc.
