It tells you that my tastes in music are developing and I'm not going to pigeonhole myself into liking one particular genre of music for my entire life. I still like the Above & Beyond productions from the days when I listened exclusively to trance for their sentimental value, but their new productions don't do anything for me.
You have questionable (at best) taste in trance, and you don't know your genres, what does that tell me about you? |

Nobody here is proposing that you limit yourself to one group or style. You just seem to be overly concerned about what is cheesy and what is not.

Well again, this is your (unfortunate) opinion and you're entitled to it. I'm sure there are plenty of trance-lovers that could say the same thing about you. The fact is that we both like trance, even if we differ a bit in WHAT we like.
It's just astonishing that you would compare this angel city song to just be. I don't mind if you think it's cheesy (practically every song on this forum is called "cheesy" by at least one person)but taking such harsh positions renders it awfully difficult to take what you say on a realistic level. |

How am I overly concerned with what is cheese and what isn't cheese? Where in my post did I claim that either of the productions, the Children remake or Just Be, are cheese? If you can point that out, you get one gold star.
Furthermore, the fact isn't that we both like trance. I listen to about as much 'trance' these days as you do Common or Talib Kweli. I find that trance now is unoriginal, uninspired, and quite frankly a regression from the 1993-1999 period. Most of us who have been listening to EDM for more than a couple of years, and can't claim a beacon like Tiesto as our first trance love, would tend to agree. I'm not going to tell you that you're right or wrong for liking the music you like, however I am going to suggest that you take some time to listen to some of the older 'classics' and familiarize yourself with the 'founding fathers' of trance as it has come to be today.
Finally, your position on rap and hip-hop makes it quite difficult for me to take you with any seriousness as well, so I guess we have one thing in common. |

| The track basically uses the entire Children melody, in places as a straight sample but in others just a section of the melody in lovely super-saws. Needless to say it's god awful and was all over the radio and charts here a couple of months ago. |

Its actually not a rip, i think in a interviewAngel City said they bought the rights to a mashup of children and some pop song i think, cant remeber where though. So technichally it isnt a rip. |
Of course they had the rights to it, or else it couldn't have been officially released.
Either way, the original remains one of the most overrated tracks in electronic music history IMO and Tilt's remake is the only one I can listen to. |

Love it or hate it, you can't deny it was one of the most important dance records of the decade and changed the whole face of the genre from then on. |

Well not only did it make trance much more mainstream it introduced a primary focus on melody as lead. While trance had previously focussed on melodies to drive the track, Children popularised using a single, central hook as the main purpose of the track. |

You may be correct on that, but that's exactly what I don't like about it and I don't think it brought anything positive to the genre. It's a very simplistic production (and catchy, hence the mainstream appeal). |
