their early stuff was genuinely good. probably some of their newer stuff too, just not as much

Album Rating: 4.5

their early stuff is godly, i guess im about the only person on this sites who likes most modern 'edm' so i still like a lot of their stuff but it most definitely isn't trance - probably the right move for them in terms of their career though considering they're still super relevant and popular





the in search of sunrise mixes are still some of the greatest ever though

Album Rating: 4.5

in terms of vocal trance i'm a huge sucker for most of it but i can get it being cheesy



this is still the GOAT tho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xWKFSrjSbI

mr murderedra7 himself huh?



he's very hit and miss for me, a lot of his earlier stuff is insanely good but he's had some, uh, 'duds'



also from what i've seen of him he seems to be a snobby arsehole



and although I love the track I hate the stupid Strobe circlejerk

"i guess im about the only person on this sites who likes most modern 'edm'"

haha you might be. i just think the techno / house genres are much more interesting these days. 99% of big room house / EDM is just a snooze fest for me. there was a point where i liked a lot of "modern" prog-leaning house (stuff like Anjunabeats/anjunadeep for instance) but that all seems so sterile to me now

Album Rating: 4.0

dude his early stuff is super underrated not even dev. repped that shit for some reason



but i like his late 2000s stuff too



havent heard the 2014 onl a little bit but i might dig it

i guess the fact that this kind of stuff got me into electronic music to begin with helped tbh and i just kinda stick with it because nothing pumps me up quite as much



still love anjunabeats although I haven't really checked anything they've released in a while so i oughta



i definitely agree other electronic genres are more interesting though

"also i like dead mau five"
same, probably some part due to nostalgia but i still keep up with his releases

"the in search of sunrise mixes are still some of the greatest ever though"
for sure

which reminds me, speaking of trance Ferry Corsten's 2008 release "Twice in a Blue Moon" is a good example of poppy trance done right

haha i agree his earliest stuff is super enjoyable and while some of it sounds more amateurish? than his later stuff it has a lot of charm



imo he started going downhill around 11/12 but he's had some great tracks since then (ima sucker for professional griefers for some reason) just a fair few mediocre ones too

"i guess the fact that this kind of stuff got me into electronic music to begin with helped tbh and i just kinda stick with it because nothing pumps me up quite as much"

yeah i can dig that, kinda the same logic for me still listening to nostalgic popcore

Above and Beyond's first album Tri-state was pretty solid

yee i even liked group therapy altho not nearly as much

"motoko u remember this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVy_RBt-lT4"

no sorry i don't think i've heard this. tbh i'm not familiar at all with old school trance, it's just not my thing. i know the Rush Cygnus songs though!

Album Rating: 4.5
