Well I'm not talking about all the longer staying/veteran TAs in general as being elitests, I'm just talking about the large handful of outspoken ones that you mentioned. Some of the others have still stuck by today's sound but I don't know....still seems apparent to me plenty despise of what's coming out now, even the quieter ones. It's pretty tiresome at this point to see them continue to rehash all the same cynical comments, how many more years do they want to keep it up? I mean I've been around there since late 2001, didnt sign up till mid 2002, but I've never seen things get as ugly as it has now and it isn't nearly as helpful as it once was.
Really the only good things about TA at this point are CORe, maybe Unknown Tracks, and the local scene boards.
And formulaic, anthemic, whatever you want to call it, I could careless, just as long as it sounds good to my ears and is danceable to when I hear it out on the dancefloor, which really is the main purpose imo. To have to criticially analyze the music and apply personal expectations as to where the music should be going is just going to make the new stuff all the more worse.
Oh yeah, thread topic lol. A couple off the top of my head...
Balearic Bill - Destination Sunshine (DJ Tiesto Power Mix)
BT & PvD - Namistai
BT - Godspeed
CJ Bolland - The Prophet
All old stuff from Tilt, Transa, and PvD really did it for me back then
On a sidenote, I shed a tear everytime you're not there to greet me into San Jo, when I goto class, obliteration T_T
