but to be fair there is a lot of 'Hard Trance' out there which is not based on the traditional style riffs which is really dark but people are not playing enough... not heard much recently but stuff like UNIX - 'another day' ( if you've never heard this track have a listen http://www.theonlinerecordstore.com/details/MON0003 - i ****ing love it and can't stop rabbiting on about it!) 'Mindblowing speed' and 'acid headcracker' i'd like to hear more of that style too... these tunes with some hard percussive Italian bizness...maybe a bit of indulgence in some techno, the occasional riff monster and who knows what else, would make for the kind of set I want to hear!! am i being too demanding?!?! :lol:
