This is a profession. They owe you absolutely nothing. I'm sure they'd be exstatic about living in a coffee truck but still not being "sellouts" to the fans :rolleyes:. |

They're certainly not arrogant (as RTP tried to say), I think there are a lot of DJ's who could actually learn from them in how to treat their fans.
'Can you dig it' is awesome! As well is that splendid set at Shelter NYC, what a monsterset, if I had a left nut I'd give it only just to be there.... |
How could a track with a name AND vocal sample asking you if you can dig it be awesome?
the mind boggles |

Their remixes of Tin Tin Out - Trance With Me and CRW - I Feel Love were their best work IMO. "Tomorrow" was nice also.
"Never Look Back" sounded far too much like their Binary Finary remix, "God Music" was unbelievably formulaic and "Can U Dig It?" was an abomination. |

I guess that hearing it live is a whole other thing. A lot of tracks just don't sound the same when you're listening to them at home or in the car. |

I've heard it live many many times, and cringed every time.
Loudness and drugs don't make a bad song good, though if the average clubber is anything to go by, it doesn't really matter :p |

Agreed, I remember many people saying that you have to experience "Flight 643" (which I despise BTW) in a club and that listening to it at home didn't do it justice. Then I heard it live and if anything, hearing it an ultra high volume just made it annoy me even more! :D |

Well I havn't heard any of their tracks in a club other than their Blue Monday remake so I can't really judge. It did sound better than hearing it at home though, although most songs do. |

Don't get me wrong, their older stuff is awesome in a club, Memory blew me away the first time I heard it, its just all their stuff since then has been rather bland or cheesy.
Flutlicht's remix of God Music almost saved it, but kept the vocals :( |

Jeeze whats with all the haters :rolleyes:
They had a great niche and are very popular in that area, hard high-energy trance.
It's too bad when any music creator (or any artist for that matter) looses enough support to the point of having to drop out. :(
Too bad for them, I hope they can pick it up again later or maybe start solo carreers. |

I'd have to disagree. While they're earlier stuff was good, God Music is their best tune I reckon. Everything after that has been rather poor.
Still, I hope a big timeout for the pair of them means that they'll be back with some more uplifting stuff, like they used to make.

I have to disagree with your disagreement, it had vocals that were cheesy AND male, and a bog standard, uninspired stab melody, which was to become their new trademark sound. |
