Im just not a fan of Darey. Take Nocturnal delight, its just rubbish trance, churned out, all cliche, nothing original whatsoever. It sounds the same as most other trance producers really.
You shine on is another example, its a pretty boring track, with boring vocals. "You shine on like everything around you, you shine on my spirit will surround you". Like most trance vocals, abolutley meaningless and only there for the high notes of the female voice, once again, getting rather cliche and boring. (and i know the tracks old)
I do own a copy of gamemaster (original) i liked that (probably willing to sell it) but yer.
Darey doesnt stand out to me like a forefront producer, I know he used to be, but now, very mediocore.
I like producers which are sounding different, like Mesh for example.
fair enough? |
Ok fair enough reply, i agree though BUT you gotta realise that Matt Dareys love has always been with vocals and such... check out his old remixes, it was remixes similar to disco-era material...
I for one know it's a bit cheesy sometimes BUT come on, check out his old songs, IMO they wipe out any artist.
some examples
Matt Darey - From Russia With Love, ok this song is just beautiful in every single sense, it uses the vocals from Li Kwan - Point Zero and incoprates such a beautiful melody behind it.
Lost Tribe series, don't tell me you think this series is bad, don't think about Gamemasters when i say Lost Tribe tho, think about the other 3 Lost Tribe productions; Angel, My Soul and Under The Red Sea.
Angel has a progressive feel with a Love Stimulation vibe... nothing shit about it.
My Soul, ok now this was pretty good but again when i said his love with the disco-era, it's present in this song... but this song is nice, uses the piano from Gamemaster and some nice synths.
Under The Red Sea, uses haunting vocals under a ambient breaks feel.
Check these songs^^^ and tell me Matt Darey isn't a nice producer.
BUT i do agree with you, his recent songs are just not up to par BUT can't that be said about all the other artists, everyones style is changing, with Tiesto to Darey... we might not like it i guess, but they deserve to do something different and experiment.
By the way, check out his unreleased material on his site Matt Darey Feat. Marcella Woods - Satellite, one of the most beautiful breaks songs i've heard since many people are turning into the prog and breaks bit... check this song and the breaks mix of Angel.
hahah this reminds me of that Darey @ Halcyon thread where it 8 topics in one thread...
