i said it before.. i think alot of people have completely exaggerated gerry's comments & made massive assumptions based on them. nowhere did he complain about the track being credited as solange.. he was only saying it seemed odd that remixers didn't get credit on the tracklist, from what i read. and it was ONE single post.. i'm really not getting why people are still using the 'get over it' stance several days later when he hasn't even protested over it. and using criticism against the track itself to prove the point is a bit redundant, when it applies to all miscredited remixers on the album.. it's more the principle, regardless of whether the tune sounds shit/like a connected clone or whatever
and 'making it in the scene' doesn't necessarily involve making music for money/making a living off of it. it may be a sorry state but these days, near enough the only way you're going to get bookings as a DJ & play to decent crowds (when you don't have friends in high places at any rate) is if you're a known producer. and people still break into the scene this way all the time, especially where trance is concerned. sure you're never going to make a living in this day & age, but playing out to a club is always going to be alot more of an experience than sitting at home twiddling knobs on a computer or mixing to yourself. i see nothing wrong in wanting to step up the ladder in that respect
but yeah.. i think everyone in this discussion is right in a way... just blowing things out of proportion
