Ferry Corsten...

Oh.. Its between Tiesto and Armin, then I would say before they were both were pretty much on par with each other, both have done some fantastic tracks. Although in the last 5 years neither of them has produced a memorable track.

Tiesto was better for sure but nowdays i cant stand his music. At least Armin once in a while produces something nice such as "Rush Hour"

I had to read that post twice because I initially thought it was sarcasm. Sail and Burned With Desire are two tunes I never thought you'd have a good thing to say about, guess I was wrong though.

worst thing is, those two tracks are awesome in comparison to the tracks he's producing now :nervous:

Shivers - awesome, awesome bassline. Mediocre vocals but there is a dub mix available which remedies this. Secretly though, I like to dress up in women's underwear and sing along to this one with a hairbrush in my hand. "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEERS, UP AND DOWN MY SPINE!"



:stongue: :stongue: :stongue: love it

Tiesto based on

Dallas 4pm
the magiakal remakes
gouryella/tenshi/walhalla w/ferry
his work with benno for kamaya painters
magik journey
Making sparkles so Transa could make an awesome remix of it
Remix of delerium - innocente and similarly sounding one from sweet surrender


Armin has done some nice stuff, just not as much, plus he's responsible for armada music so loses a point for every release on there

notably good however

exhale w/ferry
blue fear
communication part one. aka his remix of li kwan - point zero - no need for anymore parts though
aria - dido remix
yahel - devotion remix
clear blue moon (his best work)

I never really was hooked by Armin's productions before. I mean they're good, but nothing memorable, Blue Fear, Communication are both good tracks IMHO and those are the only two I can top off in my head, but there are a lot more Tiesto tracks I'd rather listen to than Armins. His work with Ferry Corsten, In My Memory tracks, Forever Today is underrated. And that's without thinking.

Lately, I haven't been keeping up with the big names, I just usually listen to material posted in the producer's forum here.

Because you usually talk sense, and yet that post was 100% concentrated cow bollocks.

I think Tiesto has a better sense for melodies, especially with his earlier classics. His work with Gouryella was top-notch in every way, but that can of course be attributed to Corsten's influence (especially with Ligaya, he basically produced that himself)

I really don't think either of them is inherently "better" than the other, though. They're both respectable artists who venture out of the realm of trance every now and then to produce some very good downtempo/vocal arrangements, and neither of them shy away from trance tracks that conveys emotions other than the happy/uplifting feelings modern tracks generally try to convey.

What it probably comes down to is personal preference, in which case Armin gets my vote.

Armin I guess,

also because of Lilmotion - D-Groovy :)

Gouryella stuff is obviosly all Ferry produced, to even hint at Tiesto even being a co-producer makes me laugh, more of a idea comer upper if anything.


I'd have to go with Tiesto, I like more of his (well his lackeys) productions and remixes than I do Armins.

Armin

Exhale (produced with Ferry Corsten)
Burned With Desire

Tiesto
