I think we uk Hard Trance is just a different sound to the german one... and by natural preference I prefer the german... but still love the UK stuff.

I can't help it... but the twisted, evil, dark and messed up sounds that the germans have so wonderful constructed over the years are just so what I want to hear... where the UK sound has never been able to do what the germans do. The recent UK Hard Trance stuff is great... but just too late comming. If it came out around 2001/2 it would of had better reception. The longer it gets for UK producers to release tracks the more german, italian and dutch tracks get released for me to compare them too.

There's some great idea's and people in the UK doing things at the moment... and those people know who they are... ;)

But this doesn't mean I'm writing off the UK producers, just think they have a massive task ahead if it comes to me seeing them in the same light as the germans.

I look forward to the day where I play a mostly UK produced set... sadly only about 5% of the tunes I own are uk produced.
