like previously mentioned, his tracks follow the same route every time, and the cheesy pad breakdowns have become a little tiring on the ears for me, but to his credit he has turned out some exellent hard trance records in the past.

but the fact that he sees the "pound signs" hardly suprises me, in fact it seems to becoming a trend with many european producers which is very dissapointing.

when the uk dance press seems to catch wind of european trance artists, and they begin to secure gigs here, or sell bucket loads of records here, ive noticed that their productions suffer, they quickly lick the arses of the uk mainstream dj's, clubs, and magazines, yet the mainstream treat these artists as fashion, and quickly dispense of them when something better comes along, and us in the underground see fu*k all of these artists that we have supported for so long. the only european label that i can think of where production hasnt suffered is bonzai, but on the downside they still have too much respect for the uk mainstream shit. :?
