I agree with you completely Ikon on a certain level.. The point i was trying to make was that if you look at some of the more melody trance being released its level of production with some releases is very weak, compared to the release from 99-00, i think personally it has been on some decline for a while now.... Overdose for example, seem to be releasing a lot of Gatecrasher anthems at the mo, and i remember tracidd went down the same way with there melody trance.. Arrakis "the spice" i remember hearing get played there a while back on rapture.. Dont get me wrong i too enjoy melody, i just think at the moment alot of the stuff being released, is on the border of commercialism..

You cant possibly say that 99-00, when for example energy was Mc'ing at events the trance played then was bordering on commercial.. It was a completely different sound, more underground, and a better one for that.. This is just my opinion of course.. But the sound was lot better.

I still buy dose and pulse and i will be buying PSR, but in my eyes the tracks like DJ Wag Avatar - Dj Wag - Second Step, are exceptional Hard trancers, that is the stuff that is needed more..
