    Adagio for Strings - Tiësto or Ferry Corsten ?

    There's some interesting stories with this track. Oakenfold had been working on his own remix "for years" independently of the William Orbit/Ferry Corsten version and missed the boat by a few weeks. It was released as Skip Raiders feat. Jada - Another Day (Perfecto Remix) in late 1999/early 2000...

    Kym Ayres & K-Series - Martha’s Harbour [Tidy Two]

    It was also covered by Victoria Newton in 1999, with remixes by Mike Koglin and Jono Grant pre Above & Beyond:

    Could the traditional artist-client freelance model work for producers and labels?

    Super Furry Animals (not a massively commercially successful band) received £1m from Epic (Sony) to make their Rings Around The World album in 2001. Of course, out of any such payments you are/were responsible to deliver whatever is written in your contract (x number of albums/singles), so you...

    Trance artists and war in Ukraine

    Having to go so far down the trance label hierarchy that you end up releasing on *checks notes* "Suanda" is punishment enough.

    Natious - Another World [2001]

    Interesting, never heard it before. Obviously intended to be a reinterpretation of LSG's Netherworld.

    R.I.P. Tomcraft (1975 - 2024)

    RIP, I put this on only yesterday

    Underwater – Water Planet (Incl. Dréas Remix) [2005]

    Picked the two least interesting mixes there IMO.

    Nostalgic Sounding Trance In 2024

    Well, they kind of are. See that thread. And yes, that scene seems far more exciting than what's left of the traditional 'trance' scene.

    Covid and vaccines and whatnot

    Because, surprise surprise, there is no longer any demand and it is not financially viable. No conspiracy here.

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    When people watched Neil Armstrong in 1969, they said we'd be living on the moon by the year 2000. You guys are getting way too carried away based on "it's going to get better" without any real evidence.

    All stuff trans- related

    Exactly. It's the same trope of the homophobic aunt/grandma who developed their opinions based on whatever right-wing newspaper they read, then immediately changed their tune when someone in the family came out. Or not, as was sadly the case in my own extended family. As I said in the other...

    All stuff trans- related

    For the love of God, no. This forum already comes across as a creepy little boys club with a huge transphobia issue, the last thing we need is a thread where it can all come out. It's never me that starts this issue, it's only ever some awful hate-filled response to the subject of trans people...

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    Except not "agreed" if you then immediately go on to add your own stupid, baseless thoughts. Comparing being transgender - something with decades of peer-reviewed scientific research and thousands of actual, living, happy transgender people as evidence - to the belief of being the reincarnation...

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    Can it though? This relies on the science, mathematics and energy resources underpinning this technology developing further and do we really know what stage of development those are at? Look at how things like Metaverse, VR, crypto, blockchain, electric vehicles, Google glass, 3D TVs, 3D...

    AI, procedural generation and other new music technologies - What does the future of music hold?

    I believe there is an active member of this forum who has mentioned they have a trans daughter. I suggest you debate with them the next time you get the opportunity if you're really interested in learning anything about it from someone with a bit more insight. But I expect you will prefer to...
