I think the sheer amount of people who enjoy ferry and tiesto and all that, yet can't stand Dj Sammy, is evidence enough to show that the tracks are not all that similar.
This of course can be faced by the amount of people who enjoy them both and mix them together(blasphemers!)
its kinda refreshing though, arguing about dj sammy instead of armin for a change.
The main difference is the target market, sammy be going for the kids who listen to the radio, the kids at the high schools, the kids who find raving as a rite of passage for their teenage reballion against nothing.
Armin, Ferry, and the like, they seem to be more party-focused than pop star focused. I mean, sure the two focuses overlap to some extent, cuz it isnt much of a party unless you can attract a crowd, but alot of the crowd is not that same dj sammy crowd, alot of that crowd are seasoned party veterans, people who come to dance and have fun instead of being the cool teenager at the high school who listens to the electronic pop on the radio. Sammy imitated them, cuz he hants to penetrate that market too.
Tiesto I agree, is going away from the party crowd market toward the pop radio market, and it seems like some of the other trancers are moving in this direction as well.
But is all of epic trance pop because this is happening? That is a tough one to call.
