i quiite like alot of the stuff that avb plays on the asot shows... some really nice deep stuff on there... infact check out the first track on no. 235 for some wicked trance, it doesnt have a 4/4 kick, its awesome tho. infact im listening now and the second track is wicked too.
for me the main problem with some of what he plays is the vocals, some real shockers, especially the male ones, which i hate. but the deeper stuff he plays is beautiful.
also someone to check out is luke chable, i guess you could call waht he makes house but its pretty trancey.
