Hehe. It's a confusing world, alright.

Believe it or not in some circles Robert Miles is not respected because he is simply good at what many consider a bad thing. That cliched, cheesey, repetetive style of mainstream anthem trance Dutch DJ's started to churn out en mass in the 90's due to it's ease of creation and floor filling abilities.

I usually listen to psytrance. This, for instance, is considered trance ...
