Lyrics don't mean shit in trance.

Sash! were not Trance.
Sash! was commercial dance.
Sash!'s more lyrical songs "Just around the hill", "Mysterious times"....were lyrically well written in my opinion.
And no matter what you think the production of Sash!'s songs are sleek as ****. Hence them standing out from the crowd when they were released and smashing the UK top ten
11 times
Ooh and 3 top ten albums.
Oh and in regards to the lyrics being in different languages to chart in different countries? Im sorry but are we all fluent in French, Spanish, Latin, German in the uk? Where his songs were most succesfull?
Erm...
You are literally one of those people trying to argue that Sash! were not a credible group and were frowned upon by the pill heads in ibiza back in the day for being to mainstream but Sash! never said he was anything but so its a lost argument.
His old stuff was the dogs bollox and 18 million albums worldwide and 65 Gold and Platinum awards prove that
