Just because you don't like a certain style of music doesn't mean that it's bad, it just means you don't like it... This compilation is awesome though.
This is really great compilation! I just happened along Solarstone today and I'm glad I did. Deep, dark, progressive trance. Reminds me of Sasha and Digweed's style.
Btw, I don't get why you guys are having arguments over trance. Trance means different things to different people, there are many different styles of trance. One style is not better than another, since it's all a matter of opinion, and just because you like one style doesn't mean everyone should.
In fact let me just sum up if you think TATW is the best trance radio show, love Daniel Kandi, think Armin and Tiesto are as good as ever, think Gareth Emery is brilliant, think Armada releases nothin but trance then i cant take you all seriously ! This album is not all trance yes but the very majority is ... Deep, tech, progressive, melodic whatveer style ... Trust me this destroys anything Kandi or Anjunabeats will ever release ! TATW radio show Episode 370 is terrible !
I read all your post then and as soon as i read the part where you said Trance Around the World is the best trance podcast i just couldnt take you seriously ... Sorry pal x
You guys are seriously debating trance? This is hardly a trance album. You all pretend to be such huge music snobs and go on about armin (omg he sold out! omg omg!) and anjunabeats (TATW still best trance podcast) yet you all don't have a clue.
@cyanchild Who cares though, let people categorize it how they need to. Just because they say it's trance doesn't make it trance does it? You might call this progressive house whilst i might call it progressive trance, yet one could argue there isn't too many differences between the two. My point is that people will call it what they want and there is no point in criticizing them for it. I just call it an album of beautiful music.
just got the album in the mail as i pre-orderd it and its everything i'd hoped for and more. the mixing is top notch and every track is great and it flows so well from track to track. i'd put this comp up there with sasha's GU's, its really that good. the best trance comp in the past few years i urge you to buy this album, i mean i've listened to it 3 time already and it just gets better every time.
@99trance dude im 21 and i agree with your comment ive been listening to trance and electronic music since i was really young.
It sucks how armin , tiesto sold out and you are right about the new stuff from Mat Zo and Arty also add gareth emery to the list too he's another sell out for making popppy dance now :-(
Great to hear that mate ... Trust me at that age you one of a very few who understand the difference in quality trance and the stuff you hear now ..... Really really nice to hear it mate ... Buying the album today ; - )))))))
@99trance Mat Zo and Arty = shit? WTF? I dunno what you consider "trance" but you just ruled out two of the top producers. The Found might be one of the best trance tracks ever produced.
@99trance They are not producing crap, their styles are just different. Electronic music give you freedom you can create whatever You want. Sure I prefer Solarstone but without mainstream there would be not underground :D
@99trance Solarstone himself said that Big Wheel doesn't follow the traditional trance format and the song is great, so you don't know what your talking about.
I cant get enough of this preview theres not one track that isnt good and Abdomen Burst ft. Yavynndiel - Solar Eclipse, Solarstone - Big Wheel and Tilt - I Dream (Nick Rowland Remix) are the F'in bomb. This is by far the best trance/progressive series out right now, no other one comes close.
cant wait for this one, the first was amazing. he plays such a diffirent style than other trance dj's and i thinks its more of a refined sound that people that dont even like trance would think was good.
fk armin's awful asot pop compilations and anjunabeats happy candy kids trance... this is how a compilation suppose to look. solaris international radio show rocks as well!
@distantlandmusic You have no idea what your talking about. I absolutely love this album, as a matter of fact its one of my favourites, but do not even think to slate Anjunabeats or Armin for what they do as they do it a damned sight better than any one else in that area of trance.
You can't just say that this is 'how a compilation is supposed to sound like' because this is a completely different type of trance. Also I hate to say it... Music is subjective.
@agm16 I have a very good idea what I am talking about. You have no idea of what I am talking about. LOL! Thats you if you love it.... But the SHIT thats releasing today from Anjunabeats and Armin is NOT HOW TRANCE SHOULD BE, its fucking garbage. Thats my POINT. AND Solarstone. Electronic Architecture BRINGS BACK SOUND OF TRUE TRANCE.
@distantlandmusic I understand exactly what you mean. There is a lot of tat out there, but I wouldn't say Anjunabeats is anything but quality. It just happens to be my favourite record label but i could list recent releases that have blown the minds of hundreds. It doesn't matter what you think trance 'should' be like, thats why there are so many different labels and artists doing their own for trance. You find what you like.
Whats wrong with trance having more than one face?
Everyone has their own preference, if you don't like the music Armin and Anjunabeats is coming out with, don't listen to it. The sound of music is supposed to evolve, if you're stuck in the 90's, thats no ones fault but yours.
I've been listening to trance for as long as I remember, and I love all of armin's compilations in addition to above and beyond. I ALSO like solarstone. You guys are f'in retarded. It's ALL trance.
solarstone kicks major ass with the EA series good to see there are still dj's putting time and efford in a compilation instead of bringing out another mix cd every half year with the latest hits.
Nice promo, congratulion :)
