heheheheheh this is really enjoyable... Samer you should have seen the di.fm forum "murdering verbally" this remix of Faithless. It looks like you don't mind at all that bad tracks are released as long as loads of money come in. Sacrifice the quality and make cash. I'd never work for your music label if you were its boss since i'm a huge oppositionist of excessive commercialization of Trance (which is what is happening nowadays, and please don't tell me that there's nothing wrong with that). I don't want to argue over that, it's just the impression i get of your position. Of course it's all about personal taste but there is a difference between In & Out Of Love (which is an acceptable track although it was dis-gustingly milked) and this remix. At least i distance myself from my admiration of Armin and his talent (or whichever DJ/Producer in general) and i give thumbs up for the lovely stuff and bash the ugly stuff. He remains a BRILLIANT DJ and for me will be one of all time's best to have ever existed on this planet, but like LyonX said, Armin was way much better in production before 2005. He sticked back then to the real epic uplifting side of Trance, the real one. IMO it all started with Shivers. It's a lovely track but as time passed by, every new vocal track released was getting worse. No doubt that it was well produced since it got the attention of the majority. But vocals are being milked to the furthest excess possible (or even beyond the acceptable exaggeration) and that makes all those vocal tracks ugly. That's my point of view because i never was a huge fan of vocals, one of the reasons why i fell in love with Trance: no lyrics back then. It wasn't the most important reason but definitely among the top reasons. I could listen to the music itself, enjoy the melodies and various sounds, interpret them in my way, without the interference of words that i consider to be intruders in this specific music genre. It didn't have to be only uplifting btw. Now all this is reversed more and more make vocal tracks which gives to the new Trance fans a twisted and wrong idea of this genre

Btw when i said that Armin has been going downward in productions i never meant to include Gaia. This is the only bright side of Armin since around 2007 i'd say. So enough with those assumptions taken from nowhere, if you're not sure of something just ask and i'll give you my answer to avoid misunderstandings. For a comparison, PvD is nowadays much worse than Armin in production. I know that there are ups and downs in life so i hope that Armin will get back up in production. Comes a moment in life when you have to say ENOUGH. This is the case with this pop-ish vocal shit trend. Armin won yesterday (or before yesterday) the biggest Dutch award possible for the best music artist in Netherlands all musical genres combined. He deserves that, honest congratz Now it's time to stop doing vocals and it's time to go back to the roots.

As for this remix of Faithless, i've heard much better remixes by Armin.

Kamil, I suggest you stop listening to Trance..it's cheesy and commercial!
just start listening to techno and minimal, more underground..and dark...and ominous!!

consult the dinosaur! he's the expert in the transition phase!

^ delete it if u don't like it

What do you mean PVD sucks ?? Dont you know its MIX FM !?!? Ummm ... sorry wrong thread !!

Anyways , in brief , ITS ALL A MATTER OF PERSONAL TASTE ! I for one have been enjoying Armin's productions lately , especially with Tuvan , Broken Tonight , remix of Beggin You , remix of Every other Way etc .... i will check this one out and get back to you .

But its actually , ALRIGHT to disagree on taste in music and your evaluation of a Dj's current style , remixes , productions , sets etc ....

Its ok if Kamil only enjoys full on uplifting trance without any vocals , not even one or two letters , like A or F ....

Its ok if Samer likes most of the trance being released these days ....

Its ok if Raneem is slowly becoming toooo big and famous for TH

Its ok if Saleem created a new genre called technodubprogstep ... ( But always dishes out great sets )

Its ok if Khaled always pretends to have the job / role of moderator of the year ......

Its ok if Fawzi always posts samples of new tracks ....

its ok if new members with old accounts such as Therisingsun post words and genres we have never heard before !

Its ok if ziz_00 is always straight to the point ....

Agree to disagree .... simple and civilized ... dont turn this place into one where everyone attacks the other for just having different tastes / point of views .... if you have stress and negative energy like me , try to hit the gym more often , and i suggest some contact sports ... like Kick Boxing , BJJ , Boxing etc ...

huh * looks around * who me me ??

lol well Qulture i respect what uve just said , u do make a point in what ure saying , in the end EDM is a central point where we all gather , but how do we get there differs from one another .

as for the * Genres that u havent heard about before *

Wikipedia can help u with that more than i can , because i did say in the //Hidden Dub// Topic that the genres are still in there experimental phase , same way psy was experimental in 1985~90's .

( and yeah i apologize in advance i wrote this in the wrong place )

Its just all one big joke my friend . No insult intended ... !! i am just referring to my post in your Hidden Dub thread ... i am sure all what you listed is 100% legit and real . I am just saying that most of the words or phrases you mentioned , i personally havent heard of before ! But then again , its ok ... because we are not all meant to be like one another !!
