i agree with you corbzy. trance generators were a huge influence on the cross-over from hard trance to hardstyle. when germany was rinsing out top notch hard trance a year or two back, t.g were there right at the top with kramer/pogadl, hennes and cold, etc.. they were not going with the hard melodic sound of germany, they were pioneering a darker, harder trance which led to what is now hardstyle.
i'm not that interested in much of their work over the last six months, but remember tunes like you can't stop us and temple of trance. these were and still are amazing tunes, and also pretty groundbreaking at the time.
