U've got a good point there, but this forum is about sharing your thoughts and opinions about tracks and sets. Thats the main reason dj's and producer promote this board, like Armin does in interviews and on his show.
I'm sure Armin want to hear comments, positive and negative. Telling u dont like the track is not a way of showing disrepect, but trying to help someone getting even better.
Ofcourse u got to give a reason for your opinion. Only say something like: "track sux, worst production of the year" doesnt make any sense, for members on TA and the producers. Just tell what u dont like, which elements should be worked out better or whats missing etc so Armin and MIKE could consider it when they (hopefully) will hook up together again for more productions! |

Intruder is great, massive ch00n. :eyespop: :eyespop: :eyespop: Pound is quite dull imo. :rolleyes: |
Quite the opposite for me. Pound is very melodic and entrancing. Intruder just doesn't change much or offer much variation. |

The intruder i heard on ASOT 150 was slightly different then the promo i have...more kick-ass rather with nice clean hihats...is that a re-work or re-edit? anyone have any info? |
could be the ID&T compressor making it sound different. it usually does that to tunes |

Having Armin and MIKE together in the studio, you would expect an uplifting trance monster being created.
I'm glad the result is anything but that!
With all the uplifting trance we get trhown at us (some are excellent, most are loads of crap), some fresh banging tech-trance tunes are most welcome. Just like MIB - Keep Pushin' is another great intelligent stomper.
I was at Antwerp is Burning when MIKE played Intruder. I didn't know what it was at that time, but I was so glad to hear such a banger coming from MIKE. And nobody was able to stand still! Everyone was dancing!
Keep the fresh innovating tunes coming, guys! |

Pretty mixed reviews I'm seeing here...
I think Intruder is a solid track, nice and energetic, builds well. Not Mike's best work but it doesn't disappoint either, I can definitely feel his influence more than Armin's (thankfully, because I'm a much bigger fan of Mike than Armin.) Pound is a bit weaker, maybe it'll grow on me. For now it seems a bit of a B-side filler.
I'm glad both producers did something different from their best-known styles, to be honest I think if they both tried to make something anthemic with a big riff, their styles wouldn't gel together very well and it would sound a bit all-over-the-place... |

Intruder wasnt that special too me. Tried it several times, never did anything for me..
but POUND on the other hand...holy crap! Such an absolute stormer. Genious in its simplicity. And it holds true to itīs name, it really pounds through your entire body.
Man I wish I could hear this one live, I think it would be absolutly amazing and I imagine the sight of 100's, maybe 1000s of people slowly wobbing to the beat..standing still in a perpetual status que, like a photography of time...the adrenaline slowly wearing out, heartbeats on hold...waiting for that release...like runners in the olympics...and when that climatic beat kicks in, like an injection of pure adrenalin into everyones heart, arms in the air and that sight of a still photo turning into a sea of people jumping up and down...
holy crap that is good...when your standing in the back of the crowd and they fade out the lights and you only see silhuettes of people waiting...and then full lights and you see everyone going complete nuts... |

Yeah, you are an idiot.
What the does his production skills have to do with anything? That's the most retarded comment I've ever heard and people keep telling that all the time.
Are you saying you can't comment on music unless you do better music yourself?
Get a ing clue. |
