Fair enough...but there's just no need to beat down others for throwing in their two cents about such a subjective topic. |

Well seeing it was written by Bryan Adams, what would you say? |
silence was also written by sarach mclachlan and its more a trance classic than it is a new age/ambient one. |

i often agree with your posts when i see them around but you are being pathetic at the mo. there is no need for you to be posting in this thread. You are being provocative and there is no need for it. its not just you and its not just this thread. people need to stop being so political about all this crap and just enjoy what you enjoy, and let others enjoy what they enjoy. that way peoples differences in taste will never really have a negative impact on anyone else.
back on topic. I think its nice when a label releases a compilation packed with full length playable tracks. especially when most of them have only ever seen a vinyl release. some people prefer cds to vinyl. |

Not automatically no, but that isn't what you said. You said they'd discard these tracks because they're outdated and scarcely familiar. How exactly can a classic be outdated? And if someone discards something because it isn't familiar, then they're being close-minded. How the will they ever expand their tastes if they discount anything unfamiliar? |
i'll forgive you for misinterpreting me since i was somewhat ambiguous..
i meant 'outdated' in terms of the production quality; ALOT of people value it, and find it hard listening to older stuff when the music they're used to is so much tougher & cleaner with tighter instruments & a fuller stereo field. i don't want to get into a debate regarding that since i'm fully aware of the opposing arguments (production shouldn't matter when the music is good/older rougher sounding stuff has more character to it, etc etc).. but it's an issue nonetheless
and 'scarely familiar' referred more to the style; trance back then was practically a different genre, which the music of the ASOT generation drafts little influence from. my point was that fans of ASOT trance like their music because of characteristics that might not be present in the majority of older trance... so including older trance in a collection of ASOT trance would be irrelevant to a degree. i think it's pretty safe to assume the majority of tracks on this cd will be from around the 98-99 era, since that period has shaped the current trance scene more than those prior to it
conclusively i'd argue that anyone with a sound knowledge of trance from ~97 onwards would have a valid enough insight for this cd |

tis the way forward! ;)
to be honest i've stopped caring about the state of trance, accepted that the majority of people like crap & that alot of stuff i like doesn't get acceptance/recognition. the scene's been segregated into many different paths and i just focus on the stuff i like now :) |

I haven't actually directly addressed anyone in a negative way for quite a few posts now. My point is that a genuinely comprehensive collection of unmixed trance classics would be an awesome thing to own, but the likelihood is that it'll be anything but, yet it'll give itself the pretentious title of "Classics" to sell a few more copies. |

Classic itself is a subjective matter to people. What you consider a classic may differ from what someone else defines it. So who cares if the Armada label says they're "classic" in an attempt to procure more sales? Many of the people who buy it just might consider those songs to be "classic" despite you claiming otherwise. |

Should be intresting, ASOT has been running a long ing time (anyone want to tell me how long exaclty) so it should give them a lot to work with, I'm cerious to see what they do come up with.
Exicted. |

Delerium & Sarah, actually. And it's not a trance classic just because the Tiesto remix might be. |
