I dont think trying to gain influence from 2001 (if thats what you mean) would help the sound in anyway. Everything that was introduced then, has been copied, manipulated, and taken to new extremes & places.

Trance right at this moment is far far better than in my opinion an I'm so looking forward to whats going to happen round the next cornor! Just when I think it cant get any better along comes a new label or producer who blows the hell out of everything Ive ever heard an raises the bar again.

I used to think that the old EDM etc stuff was the best there is, but listening to it these days and comparing it to where we are now it sounds quite dull to be honest. (except for the MZone tape @ helterskelter's human nature 98 ;) )
