Bit harsh Andy Smile

see the world loves the ASOT sound. I think it is weak trance and Armin is driving the market with all these ASOT wannabes. Poor Robert Nickson, talented fellow but he does everything in a lame ASOT mold, same with a lot of other producers. ASOT makes them money but it bores me to death, with Armin's lame attempt at pushing prog. influenced trance. Don't get me wrong, Armin is a nice person, just too busy pushing lameass crap on the masses. Sorry maria111 bought into the hype like many others, I never have or will.

who said I'm fighting?

I rather have Armin not push the same ASOT crap on me, he is making a lot of fans but I don't buy the hype like the rest of you lot. Just remember, I'm the one who does not buy into hype.

I'm pointing out that I cannot stand poorly massly produced subpar trance and I think ASOT is producing a ton of it. I used to love listening to ASOT but not any more, too boring, too bland. As I say, a lot of people have simply bought into the hype of ASOT, I'm just pointing out, I don't buy into hype of anything. If the masses say this rocks, I normally am very skeptical of this. I don't see why are you are shocked, could it be that someone is anti your hero, I've said this for a while now on many boards. It is known, I cannot stand hype filled stuff.

You people dont know what your talking about, so please do not speak. Hype is what gets this scene to its feet, Hype is what makes this music sound even greater, because without it people would not know about it and would not appreciate it. I think ASOT is awesome and the music they put out, you cant find anywhere else, so stop the hating and noone cares whether you like hype or not. Its all for the Music.

armin USED to be good now every producer just tries to produce tracks that armin will play:( generally he could be a better guy he should go back to his origin tunes like aria-dido the precious ....

I believe that the thing that stays from armin's attempt is the SOUND quality (attention :not the music quality but the sound quality) very good but most of the stufff that armin has to play or he wants to play are just to damn boring!

great points Feidias and everything you said ! also agree with you Andy P.. glad we found someone who knows what happens.

and yes! its all about the music !

what armin produces now, is just feeling, thats why his tracks end up boring... some kind of excitement or something, or the feeling that makes you dance is missing from his tracks. take for example his track "Precious" which is very good, and listen to a track he made lately
