tillman uhrmacher - on the run...

minimalistix remix...

picked this up today - it's a fucken great song...

make sure you have a listen if you haven't already.

although it is just a case of minimalistix applying the formula...

it is ok, getting a bit too much now, three tracks for minimalistix and they're all carbon copies of each other.

Close cover
Tillman urmacher - on the run
Traveller and in motion - Believe

The 3rd one's really my favourite.
I like the 'ocean to shore' mix of on the run though. Only for personal home listening of course.

minimalistix have more than three tracks & remixes dude...

there's also

struggle for pleasure (my favourite)
voices for jana
twin peaks theme

and probably more remixes too...

i forgot 'a forest'

sounds like minimalistix are doing a bit of a
blank & jones.....

Ok Guys and gals what other producers do you
think seem to follow a similar format with their
tracks ?

oh yeah i know they've got other tunes, i just meant this last sudden surge of tunes all sounding the same - it is a bit overwhelming

to answer eddie's question:

in order of most predictable repetition of style to least predictable my top 5 are:

Ferry Corsten - you can usually spot his productions from a mile away, although he is sounding quite a bit different now.

Rank 1 - uncannily similar sound in everything they do, still awesome though.

Fire & Ice - Ive got about six tunes produced or remixed by them and the similarity is obvious but you need to have heard their other tunes.

Armin Van Buuren - Even when he tries his hand at prog, you can still sort of tell its him, if you've heard loads other stuff for him.

Dj Tiesto - Others could disagree with me but I could never really pick out a Tiesto tune, sure you can compare 'silence' with 'urban train', and he occasionally uses the similar styles in productions, but still could never follow one style through for any length of time before swapping over.

I think the tiesto recipe is just long and dark haunting sounds for ages and then rip into euphoric right at the very end.

yeah but there's a world of difference between sounding similar and producing the same song...

tiesto can be pretty easy to pick too, compare silence to flesh, re-form and urban train...

lately he's been producing a lot of different sounding stuff, but i don't think much of most of his new stuff...

urban train and silence used the same exact sweep samples... I think most of tiesto's stuff is different and original. I loved flight 643 so much cause it had such a non generic trance sound. The way he used the snares and how there wasn't a cheesy buildup and the main sound was in the same key all the time... genius! And so original.

Corsten's stuff is very similar. So is pvd's older stuff.

Wippenberg is extremely repetitive but - his remix of castles in the sky and light a rainbow are nearly identical sounding.

so many artists have all their stuff sound really similar... it gives them an obvious style

i guess it fits in with the whole aliases thing...

think riva, dumonde, lange, tiesto(mixes more than original tracks), green court... and the list goes on...

like a trademark if you will - thing is a lot of artists can actually produce or mix music of all sorts of styles (prog, uplifting, hard) and still maintain their own individuality.

For example if you compare some of ferry corsten's proggier stuff with the uplifting stuff he makes you can actually spot some similarities, even though its a completely different sound.
