They may not like it, but I don't think anyone who was going to write down a list of important or classic electronic dance records would omit Flaming June or Blue Skies. |

the way you put the whole thing is as if it's up to the marketeers to decide what's a classic and what isn't (when you refer to top charts and sales figures) |

| No. It has nothing to do with marketing. Sales are only a small part of it, but they reflect the appeal of a track, particularly if the record is not a very commercially viable one. |

case in point: crazy frog
(though i've avoided listening to it, i can imagine the horror of it), do you think that track is commercially viable?
i doubt it, more likely the 'campaign' it had (via commercials on many many networks, among other things) was 'commercially viable' so to speak.... |

I think Universal Nation only got that sort of exposure in Belgium. I've never ever ever ever seen it in the TV, heard it in any commercial, heard anyone playing it around here, or even seen it at any CD in the shops. |
hehe i bought a compilation in Funchal a few years ago which featured UN (albeit in the Ferry Corsten remix)
it was a good cd all around, with GD - Choral Reef, York - The Awakening and some other classics
but i guess those are very rare :D |

LOL @ comparing BT with MIKE.
If I remember correctly from interviews with both MIKE and L-Vee they both said that their greatest source of inspiration was BT among others (Vangelis etc). |

I wouldn't say MIKE has produced any classic trance tunes. There are trance records that even none trance-heads will remember. Age of Love, Acperience, Stella, Café del Mar, Dark & Long, Flaming June, Xpander etc. There's no one MIKE track that has recognition across the spectrum. He's just produced so damn much that a couple of his tracks hit the right formula. MIKE isn't a genius, he's just competent and prolific. |
only you think so... |

MIKE`s music is the kinda music not appealing to the masses, his melodies are darker, his percussions are electroish.. he hardly makes any vocal tracks.. and his tracks are far from catchy by the general masses.. atleast on the first listen..
he is were trance should be.. unknown, and off the radio and charts, only enjoyed by those who "wants to believe"
now let it go, System, MIKE is one of the great trance producers, cause he has stayed in the same position with the same kinda of style, although he has gotten more "tech`ish" lately.. |

Yes, if the "true and good way" was always followed and style remained completely stagnant as it should we would still be counting clouds in the sky. the radio, progression, any further innovation in anything. And never change your style. Ever. |
