Please dont hurt me: Marco V (why does everybody love him?)

You may be in shock to hear this but... i dont rate Marco V quite as much as most of u do. fair enuff, he is good at dj-ing, he can mix a tune with the best of em, but, his solo tracks do nothing for me!!! the only remix of his that i own is Rank1's Such Is life. sorry!! Rolling Eyes

fair does... that your opinion - i think he's pritty decent, and thats mine !!

Everyone has their own dislikes etc... Personally I think he's very talented,
with releases like:

In Charge
Certainly
Tolerance
Indicator
Simulated
GODD

and remixes to including
Damn Noa - Like a prayer

Those tracks definately do it for me Smile

I'm a big fan of Recovered and Simulated, But I still prefer Mauro for all my hard trance needs, theres just something about that guy whats magical, Marco is good, but Mauro, or even Fergie come before him for me

Yeah, i cant argue with that! mauro is ace! Very Happy

Sygnus · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2002 12:15 am

Picotto certainly is talented I do agree, I'm going to a 6hr set of his at Gatecrasher on Sat :)

However, Fergie? He's a totally different story

Marco v has made great tracks like simulated an more older tracks
But I dont like Godd Smile

Above&Beyond · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2002 9:01 am

Godd is boring and over-rated.

Mathew · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2002 3:55 pm

the v dub is a bit boring... but the original has so much energy !! Very Happy

Above&Beyond · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2002 10:22 pm

maybe thats the one i downloaded? i saw some peeps raving on about it in the TranceAddict forums weeks ago, so i downloaded it. it was dull. then i posted this msg up. it was the final straw! maybe i'll give marco a 2nd chance! after all i have no complaints about his mixing djing skills. we'll see when i download the correct mix... Question

Marco V is a decent dj/remix/producer...i remember when i downloaded set from Trance Energy 2000, which was his first for me....very good set, lots of energy, and techno beats Wink

im very excited about his set here in toronto, when he's gonna come for wintergalactic Smile

i like his simulated and tolerance tracks, their sick Very Happy

GODD is boring though...neitherless talented dj no doubt about that and a future for him Wink

Above&Beyond · **Posted:** Wed Jan 30, 2002 10:33 pm

so it not just me then, GODD = Boring.

ps mate, Global Underground kick arse! i own Paul Oakenfield/New York & Seb Fontaine/San Fransisco from a couple of years back. im still listening to them regulary now, are they still smacking it? if so i must get a few more to add to my collection! Cool

some of marco v's set/tracks are ok... ok-ish... nothing special though..

<--Ferry_Addict--> · **Posted:** Thu Jan 31, 2002 9:25 pm

Personnally I think Marco V sucks, maybe its just his style that I don't like. Ferry Corsten does it for me anyday!

ReBirth · **Posted:** Sat Feb 02, 2002 3:21 pm

MArco V standalone doesn't really do it for me..but the tracks with DJ Benjamin is good..

VelourFog · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2002 3:08 am

Marco v rocks
his remix of simulated sounds great
Godd is a good thumping tune to hear in between all the uplifting trance tunes
he's also a great dj, no. 85 in the world..i dont think so
listen to his set at sensation 2001 it was awesome

VelourFog · **Posted:** Wed Feb 06, 2002 3:13 am

btw about mauro picotto...he dont play much trance anymore so i wouldnt compare him to marco v, picotto is much more tech now... like 90%

i personally think marco v is very talented. he brings a different sound to trance. sometimes we all bombard on stuff from ferry corsten, armin van buuren, svenson & gielen and the likes, we need someone like marco v who brings a harder, techy style of trance. my favorite marco v productions include:

indicator <---top tune
simulated
godd

i can understand why some people would say godd is boring. it doesn't contain a dominant melody but thats the key to the whole track. its got killer lyrics to go with a simple yet banging beat. a great choon to dance to IMO.

Mathew · **Posted:** Wed Feb 13, 2002 10:17 am

n1 - thats totally true Smile

My fav. Marco V tunes are:

1. Tolerance
2. Time Gate
3. Simulated

Marco V, Brilliant Dj, Good Producer. Had his ups and downs. He made lots of music he didn't like. From the time Luvstruck was a hit he made tons of songs that was really shit!! BTW he ALWAYS produces with Benjamin, let that be clear! Now the last years he (they) makes the music he wants to make! Nice heh

My Top 3 Marco V(& Benjamin)songs ever:
1. Indicator (BRILLIANT!)
2. Obscura (for all of u who didnt know Out Of Grace = also Marco V & Benjamin!!!)
3. Simulated
