The "No One On Earth (G & D Mix)" Appreciation Thread

well, if I was like every other pill popping trance kid It'd be a boring world - I just think that most trance is soooo outdated - and it's just tedious to HAVE to get caned to appreciate it - I just don't think having a narrow minded and convoluted view of electronica is conductive to a wider appreciation of music in general - that's all.....and I did say IMO didn't I? The very fact you've responded makes me smile

trance out dated? having to get cained to listen to it? Just bceause a few 'kids' do what THEY do to have fun while listening to it - don't tar us all with the same brush.

thats pretty narrow minded.

yes - you're right about that mate....I'm really not trying to piss anyone off - and I'm being hypocritical because I used to be well into my trance - but in my opinion it started to become a bastardised parody of itself a few years ago - I used to worship Oakie etc - but now my opinion has changed.........I think I'm a bit of a purist because I'm a DJ - if I wasn't, maybe I wouldn't be exposed to the many different genres of house that I'm familiar with - I like to say that I just play house.....my opinions are those of a DJ, not a clubber as such - so to keep the peace, I'm gonna say that trance is ace if you're into it - and tediously outdated and repetative if you're not....but each to his/her own and remember it's just my opinion...! Who knows - I might go to Promise one day and have a blinding night!

peace

sounds like your tastes have changed - like you said, your opinion. Horses for courses and all that.

if you'd have been there friday - maybe u might rethink things - it was far from what some DJ types would call "cool" - it was full of 'charvs' and it had 'comercial DJs' that some people think are not 'underground' anymore - but u know what - the music was fantastic, the atmosphere was great, the 'clubbers' were having a great night, bouncing around... couldn't have been a better night anywhere in the country. so it wasn't 'underground'.... so lots of known tunes were played.... so it wasn't held in a 130 maximum capacity venue... so what - it was a brilliant party and everyone loved every minute!

heh heh - I'm gonna piss on my own fire even more here and say that I've never even been to Promise!!! And I'm not exactly as pure as the driven snow when it comes to illegal substances either (if you'll pardon the pun) - but I do take a strong stance against pills/poppers/coke and all that shit and I'm unrepentant about that
- I have been to Cream, Gatecrasher, and I used to virtually live in the Hacienda - and I had a wicked night every time....maybe I'm pissed that trance started to become commercial and loads of get-rich-quick 'producers' flooded the market with chart-bothering shite - now that I really CAN'T stand......what I'd like to hear is some quality underground trance - so reassure me that Promise will deliver and I swear I'll give it a go

There is an unbelievable amount of 'underground' trance kicking about, you will hear all this commercial stuff on the radio or where ever but stuff like that just doesn't get played in Promise

Try it, you might just like it

i can't promise that for the next month or so - but u did miss the G&D/Tom Neville night for you 'purists'.... and i wouldn't call promise a 'chart playing' club... but you would only know if u visited!

I think the general advice here is to actually visit the place before I start whingeing about trance!

sorry dudes - nee offence was intended like - I'm just opinionated about some things....and I want to be on this forum long term - it's pretty cool. It's mainly about the trance on here so I'll think before opening my gob in future

we really ain't had a go at you - i think we've been quite reserved actually compared to recent board slangings on newbies (allegedly) but don't hold back - say what u think - i'm sure people will in return, let you know what they think!

People do slate the state of trance at the mo - but i think there's nowt wrong with it!
