i think they got good tracks and bad ones jus tlike any other artist, but over hyped? No. There jsut isn't that much hype behind them for them to be over hyped

Ofcourse one wouldnt turn down the offer to remix a big artist but
the thing is that *I* (we?) are not beeing offered that.
We just want the artist to stay true to the music and fans and keep
producing because they care for music, not for the money.

If they get rich of it, good for them. I dont give a shit.
I would do the same thing but i still feel that one has a "right"
to express his opinions, you dont have to prove a good example or
do the "right thing" to have permission to ask your artist to do the same.

am I the only one that really, really liked the britney track? I loved it... amazing beat, so sexy

I wouldve put it in my latest set (11-16-03, in my signature), but it didnt really suit the overall style. needless to say, I did include 4 G&D tracks

what would I do without these guys?

Originally posted by CosmoKid Usually I keep my mouth shut. Today I feel like commenting. If you tell me you like all works by a specific artist I'll tell you that you either are lying or the artist hasn't produced enough. That goes for ALL art and ALL types of music. Not related to trance, but I like artists like the Beatles and even Sinatra (yes, i am NY wop), but there are plenty of songs that I think are sh!t. Doesnt mean I dont like the artist. Will I ever play a Brittany Spears song while driving in my car? Hell no. When I heard there would be a G&D remix of one of her songs did I want to hear it? yes. and it was actually pretty good, for a brittany song. I heard it played out at a club and people loved it. Good for them. People get pissed off because producers remix pop songs? I understand and appreciate that but what would you do? The biggest pop star in the world and you would turn that down? Come on. BS. You would all do the same. Arent they in this thing to make money? Yeah, they love the music and all but damn people, get real here. They actually took a Brittany song, made it sound pretty good and made some money on it. Dont forget the exposure. I used to listen to a lot of alternative rock back in the 80s (Cure, Depeche Mode, etc, etc). Back then U2 was part of the alternative scene. After Joshua Tree I was like WTF??? Sell-outs. I was also 15. Look at how big they are now. Should they have walked away from the mainstream exposure just to appeal to a few idiots who resented them. Back then I may have said yes. Now I realized what a Dumas I was. How many producers have put out the quality work that G&D has? Why not throw as much creativity at the public and let the public sort out what they like and dont like? I'd rather be able to form the opinion then to never hear something at all. enough ranting from me. rip me all you want. just call it creative expression and i am cool with it.

great post, couldn't of said it better. As for myself, love as the rush comes and andain - beautiful things (G&D remix) great tracks. Not a huge fan of all the others but then again i haven't heard them all either. theirs alot of music out there.

As to over hyped. I dunno maybe on boards like this were everyone listens to the same style of music. You might see it alot. I think that's great allows us to hear and learn about artists who may be the next great artists. But i can assure you if I ran outside into the busy street and yell "Who thinks Gabriel & Dresden are overratted?" If anyone even decided to answer, most likely 95% of these ppl will have no cllue as to what im talking about. How can a music type that most ppl don't even know aobut truly be over hyped. I consider over hyped seeing posters of artists on my bus going to school. No one deserves that. Get nellys damn face of my bus.

Do You Think Gabriel & Dresden Are Any Good Or Completely Over-hyped?

They are just my style of music and as such will describe it in 1 word - AWESOME

I simply said to your stupid comment that some people liked them before they were popular. You know thats how people find out about artists, they fucking hear them so when you don't know things about someone STFU and don't make dumbass comments like that.

2 threads like this from the same person with little time in between, oh my!

I doubt anyone cares about my opinion, but for the sake of conversation, I will post it. G & D tried something new unique and different and it succeeded big time. In my opinion they deserve all the glory for it that we can give em. Like any mortals some things they've done have been better than others, but they have an amazing uniqueness that is insanely fun to listen to. Nobody right now deserves more hype then that duo . I dont blame ppl for playing the hell out of their stuff, i would do it to, and i'm not even close to getting sick of hearing it. And if it werent for these TA bandwagon jumping acts I wouldn't have the wonderful playlist that I got 2day. The one thing ihaven't taken a liking to is the small bunch of songs that are starting to imitate their sound. EDM is kinda a hybrid of lotsa other things, but without somethin new every once in a while things get stale, G&D refreshed the hell outta some trance, but I dont want all the songs to sound like them. I'm really looking forward to what happens next, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee ok im done

I dont care for them to much I will listen to them every now and then.

Read my thoughts exactly. They have a style that is unique and while some don't enjoy it and consider tham overhyped I could care less, everyones entitled to their opinion and I for one think they have a lot of talent and will continue to play the shit out of their tracks and livesets from now until the end of time.

BTW teknoscape because I'm expecting a dumbass comment from you about me playing their songs always yes I will play them even when people have forgotten about them and they havn't had a song in years

I think (IMHO) that G&D is nice, they have some pretty nice remixes, but perhaps doing a little too much of them... or just my idea? Last year people were bashing tiesto for remixing every damn music that appeared, now... I dunno, perhaps a bit of holydays for both Gabriel & Dresden would be fine, I think...
... and they remixed Evanescence... why oh why G&D you should ever touch shitty stuff...

Then again, maybe I'm wrong Who'll throw the first rock @ me?
