Who fuck cares? Ralphie B has been making shit music for 15 years now
I actually do care a lot, dont be selfish...its just your statement and I dont give a **** about it...
Melodically its a very good track just like every of his last production. His melodies are pure gold...still one of the best in the business...
He is one of my allltime hero and he is still running pretty good. This year he put out 4 massive trancers and he is probably my producer of the year.

Still wondering why you even bother clicking on the thread, you know that is going to be 138 trancer....so why do you bother? To release your anger against new trance? You either accept it or move on to something else or go listen to your 90s stuff in the corner and cry about how it used to be better!
Its 2021 jeeez! Some things are different...

If you like this you will swallow hundreds of others trance tracks released every week that sounds exactly like this. Just another generic template trancer for people with low standards in music

Nobody's making you listen

Well.... in some way you do, by posting the topic. Because you start a conversation saying: Hello, here is a track that I think you should listen to.

So Trancedanne replies on the conversation you started yourself.

What you are saying to him now is: Why don't you just ignore me..

Sure. But that's not how humans work. The fact that you started a conversation - which triggers people to talk back to you - can't be dismissed so easily.

Also: this section has a constant unstoppable stream of new threads, all with similar sounding generic tracks. That doesn't help in "controlling your frustrations". I had it too a few days ago. Where I clicked a few tracks, but literally all were template 138 stuff. It's very annoying. We - as admins - asked topic-creators before, to only post tracks that are truly special, or otherwise noticable. And not post all music, just because you can.

Topic creators seriously should start questioning:
"Is this a great musical piece that deserves a post on the holy Trancefix forum?"

But apparantly, our messages are of no use. There are still (everyday!) topics created, with zero words, no motivation in it, just a stupid embed. *Paste link*. Done. Most of the time not even an embed of the track, but a full set, in which other users have to find it themselves. (Just like this thread).

You gotta realize that if you do that (constantly), that you are also part of why some users are frustrated.

Well the reply by Trancedanne was totally pathetic, he hasn't judged the track by track itself but by the artist. Who cares? lol seriously he knows who cares ? there are so many who cares what he produces. And why bother to reply to a thread if he has to make a comment on artist itself and for him his music is just shit. @Magnevi you also know that he has produced some gr8 tracks, atleast you have liked Sierra Nevada ;). Yeah most of the uplift are generic in today's scene but by no way Ralphie's production is shit.

I am a regular user who starts a thread with a new ID. Assuming I know it's something very interesting (here something from Ralphie B). I don't assume threads that don't really contribute anything to me. But I am not able to remain indifferent when someone starts a text with a criticism of the artist than with the song. I am not a defender, but some culture is valid here, right? You could ignore the topic rather than start writing critically.

Of course his replie(s) are rather... negative of tone. Some people think I am negative of tone, but I'm sure Trancedanne is a worse case, haha. But the message I wrote is meant in general. Not specifically for this very topic. Just an overall post that could have been posted elsewhere.

As for Ralphie B. Yes, he produced amazing classics. Sierra Nevada, Evergreen, First State (the track). I also appreciate Your Own Way, and Off The Radar. And then there's the Midway stuff, and of course Ralphie B's Massive. Of his more recent work I like his "These Silent Heart" remix, and Icarus is nice as well.

That melody ain't bad. But the rest of the track is just not above average.

Reminds me more of Dymond than B, but I guess we'll know who it is later.

I do like some of them...and yes I check every release, each and every week I go through 300 new releases, inlcuding uplift, prog, techno and prog house
Uplifting sounds different then back in the day, I agree it used to be better and less template-ish but I understand why they change the sound, because this new steroid simply sounds better in the club and thats where they aiming...

and even if you say you dont like him for 15 years that is bullshit, cause he made so many good Fisrt State, Midway and Ralphie B releases which are not even close eneough to steroid sound...
