*sighs, then hangs head in shame*
well, i guess it isnt that bad as long as he doesnt let all his future releases on his other aliases sound remotely the same. |

Hey everything's possible, sure there will be people who like the track for what it is and i'm sure you do, but i'm also sure some people who say this track is brilliant would hate it if they didn't know it was made by mike.

it's not just mike or oakenfold or paul van dyk; it concerns all famous producers out there. the thing is, some people here only seem to care about the names, and not the actual music. whenever their beloved producer releases something new, that production automatically becomes an instant classic, no matter how bad it may actually sound. such people are mere puppets who will drool over anything even remotely related to their idols. that's why, when such a producer creates a particularly weak composition, his/her idolaters never admit it to be a poorly-produced piece of trash. instead, they prefer to call it an EXPERIMENT. not a half-assed attempt of making things as what it actually is, but an experiment (whatever the hell that's supposed to mean). pvd's latest album is an obvious example of that. it's a rather insipid and uninspired production of his. and yet some people are persistently trying to come up with an excuse that would make up for its overall poor quality. they say pvd, being a god, is not capable of doing mistakes - he is just experimenting. say, isn't it in great? what a spunky experimentalist he must be to come with such crap as "reflections"... or take this new project of mike that is obviously oriented to a bigger, mainstream audience. with this *generic* creation, he utilizes a well-known scheme to appeal to a larger, far-less fastidious group of listeners, which will certainly boost up its sales. so what is it then, another experiment? no, just a blatant hunt for money. |

| I actually think its OK, not bad. Im just very concerned in terms of where MIKE and all his other projects will be heading, This might be a sad day for trance... |

People shouldnt judge someone so quick, you wouldnt like being under that spotlight. |
Of course he can do what he wants. But that doesn't mean I have to like it, or give it praise.
I think it ing sucks.
Do I still like Mike? Of course, he is a great producer. If he wants to branch out into other types of music, possibly so he can actually make a few $$, the more power to him.
But I still think this song or project, sounds like a load of horse excrement.

| I like it, very well produced and musically it's a good composition. Sure it isn't the style he's known for but so what? I'm not gonna hate a style of music just because people in a community don't like it. At the end I love trance, but I'm not really a TRANCEaddict, I'm more of a MUSICaddict. |

as i said before: it's not a loop repeating itself all the time
the production IS good, it contains a lot of different elements to keep it interesting..
if it was only for money, he wouldn't have combined all these elements from different styles. he would just have created a catchy groove and thrown a bunch of random 'i love you' vocals on it.. this is definitely not the case. |

i do partially agree with you, although i still believe there are a lot of people who will love the music for what it is. Same thing with pvd, i for example DO love some songs of his 'reflections' album (crush, nothing but you, time of our lives, three 'commercial' examples). I don't say the entire cd rox or something, but it has it good songs.
I just can't stand people who act like sheep just blindly following artists and praising them for every sound they create. And again, i'm not talking about the people who actually DO love the music (like tor clearly) |

| I think this new project is terrible. Does'nt MIKE know that we listen to his music so we don't have to listen to that kind?! This really sucks. |

My feelings exactly. But if he's having fun doing this, that's all that matters. I'm rathger happy that maybe we will hear some other M.I.K.E. sounds for a change. Recycle is too big a friend of his ;) Who says this is not a loop btw ? Are you being sarcastic ? I was expecting something renewing but it isn't so oh well, I'm sure he'll make $$ with this. Kinda reminds me of the song from Romeo Must Die btw, with that black chiq who's plane crashed Aaliyah or something. no ? |

if you don't like it, don't listen to it.
besides, Mike does not have to do what YOU like, Mike has to do what HE likes.
@ BelgianGuru: well of course there's a loop, but it's much more complex than 50Cent - In Da Club for example. Mike's track is far more interesting at that point. |
