| Just wondering what your opinions were? I've read on here before that they are great producers but as DJ's they are pretty poor. Personally I’ve not seen them DJ. But on the production side I’m a big fan of their mixes of Mindcircus, Southern Sun, Till There Was You, Fallen, and No One on Earth. Most recently Without You Near and Arcadia are both superb tunes. Also Motorcycle tunes are top notch. |

| their remix of nalin & kane - beachball isn't bad, along with their best work - their remix of tiesto - in my memory. Everything else is pretty sub-standard as far as im concerned |

| They did some alright stuff a few years ago, like their bootleg of Coldplay - Clocks, and possibly their On a High remix, but that about it. Rest is pants. |

| Their remix of Pavement Cracks is great, better than the Scumfrogs imo. Remixes of Intuition, On A High, Till There Was You and One For The Road are also ok. Can't say I like any of their standalone productions, but ATRC and the Photon Project Remix of Beautiful Things I enjoy. |

| Well their 'on a high' remix is great imo... not into melodic stuff at all, but that one I can't stop listening to. |

Couldn't agree more.
Their remix of 'Beachball' is a brilliant production, really captures the summery feel.
Pretty much everything else is e though. I really mean that. I just detest the "natural" style of trance they provide us with, it should be considered a different genre altogether, in my view.
'Tracking Treasure Down' is plain awful, their remix of 'No-One On Earth' might just be the most overrated track in trance history, and 'Around You' (Motorcycle) might as well have been a pop-rock ballad. The 4/4 beat is only there so Armin can play on his show.
It makes me wonder how many people who listened to trance during the "good old days" actually like G&D. I mean, I'm really trying not to come across as an elitist. But their style of trance isn't just pushing the boundaries, but it's a complete reversal, a demolition of what trance actually is. It takes the piss. |
