No need to hate, I'm just expressing my opinion. You want examples, okay (its not hard).
- Everything Ronski Speed has done since Sun Decade - I'm Alone (apparently the last time he had a spurt of originality)
- Blank and Jones (ever since they put out their Relax album, which had some decent remixes, the new album is horrid)
- DJ Ton TB (ever since he made Carrera 2 things have went undeniably down hill)
- Airbase stuff has never really sounded any different to me
- Signum (Coming on Strong was weak, sounds like everything else played on ASOT)
- Thrillseekers (what has gotten into Steve Helstrip, same with Lange, New Life is synth ridden garbage thats been beaten to death, lets get back to forward thinking stuff like Synasthasia and Open Your Eyes)
- Rank1 has been trash, only heard 1 remix from them and it was bland as ever
- Nu-NRG (what the happened to them!!? they were looking so promising, stuff like Last Experience and End Kiss blew my mind but they went the commercial route and sound like everyone else now!)
Who I think looks good this year (regardless of genre):
- Luke Chable
- Matthew Dekay
- Nathan Fake
- Michael Burns
- Markus Schulz
- Above & Beyond (keeping it original, thank god)
- Scott Bond (his new CD is surprisingly diverse)
- Ozgur Can
- Grayarea
- Perry O'Neil
- Pinkbox Special
- Phil K
- Mark Otten
- Mark Norman (almost on my list, but I have to remember recent productions like Phantom Manor, their mix of Love Comes Again was predicatable tho)
- James Zabiela
- John '00' Flemming (producing some great original darker trance)
- Envio (the only three tracks I've heard from him have been mind blowing)
I could continue, but whats the point...I live in Brookline btw |
Shouldve posted this in the first thread. I understand youre stating your opinion but we have so many of these threads exactly like this and people who have been here for a while get tired of it becasue nothing good comes from it. My opinion, you want better uplifting? Get in the studio but complaingin like this gets absolutely nothing done and doesnt really mean to anyone just my opinion and a little advice if you plan on staying on this board. Uplifting has had a decline in quality but on the same token there has been an incline in good tracks as well, if that makes any sense. I mean in every music there is crap but you present youre views in a very one sided manner. |

people should enjoy their music, even if it is GARBAGE to somebody else's ears, AND they shouldn't start a flame war over it. (hint hint)
i like alice deejay...

My favs this year have been Matthew Dekay, Steve Porter, Chable, and Subtech. |

You make many valid points, but your argument is critically weakened by the above, which I've quoted for the following reasons:
You say Ton TB has gone downhill since Carrera 2. This strikes me as a comment made by someone who has not heard all the superb, underrated productions the man has done since then under his various guises (including Tangled Universe, Fate Federation). If anything he has gotten better since 2002, and is now rightfully getting the exposure he deserves with the impending release of Dream Machine. Well done I say.
Signum is also on your "list" due apparently to Coming On Strong being weak? Since this track was released 5 years ago I presume you really mean Come Around Again, which I must agree is a tune. However, this is the only blemish on their record and you'll find that their newest track, The Timelord, makes up for this misstep quite nicely. Don't judge producers on one bad track, nobody's perfect.
Then on the positive side, you mention, after a lengthy list of mostly progressive producers, Envio. I'm afraid that doesn't exactly give you much credibility since Envio is perhaps the worst culprit when it comes to producing fluffy, soulless, samey trance.
In the end though, you're saying the same things that have been said ad nauseum here for heaven knows how long, so you can hardly blame us for responding in less than civil fashion. Yes, the trance scene is not what it used to be. Yes, there are a lot of tunes being released. Such is life. Come to terms with it, and adapt to it, like the rest of us have, or will do. |

why do we need to catagorize trance music anyways? .. all types give me the same effect .. from progressive to uplifting to psy to whatever .. we don't need to categorize trance like this, because it's the producer's creativity that gets us going.. not by what it is.. what are we going to say now? that progressive is the bad way to go, because it does not define what trance is, which is old style synths and strings ?? ..
as long as we don't categorize trance to the point where rappers are trying to differentiate rap and hip-hop .. now that's insane, because after listening to music for so many years, including rap and hip-hop, i still am in the dark with the difference between rap and hip-hop?? .. what's the difference?? it's the same to me ..
and i do hope we don't try to start any gang warfare between the uplifting phreaks and progressive jammers.. that would be funny .. like a east coast vs west coast thing .. uplifting vs progressive .. |

"I'm not opinionated it's just my opinion"
Why is everyone overlooking the blatant hilarity of that statement? |
