Peter Luts was one of the greatest! Now he makes simple american pop.
What a Feeling - what a pity.

Remember Lasgo - Something.

[Snaggy]

I wouldn't call it American pop, but it is boring in comparison to the euphoric vocal trance that he used to be the master of.

[Gino Lebrun]

You're right. The vocal trance songs like Something are so good. However, I think What A Feeling is a very good House song. If you want new trance song by Peter Luts, listen to Elbee - My Life (Peter Luts Remix).

[woussie]

duh ... Peter switched from trance to house a LONG time ago ... and i think he does a great job !

"What A Feeling" is very commercial indeed, and to be honest i think it's a little repetitive too, especially the lyrics ... i never expected this to be such a hit. But well, this one worked out in America, and i think Peter Luts deserves it according to his great music carreer ...

But American pop ? Hilary Duff ... Jojo ... that's American pop ! "What A Feeling" doesn't sound American at all, and it definately doesn't sound like pop music ...

Anyway ... If you wanna hear new trance music like back in the days ... build a time machine and go back to the year 2000 ... because there's very very few artists that still make the commercial trance of those days ... trance is dead (not the underground trance like Sean Tyas, Armin van Buuren, but commercial trance like Lasgo, IvD, Dee Dee, and i even wonder how long Milk Inc. will stick to the style), and house is the new commercial style in dance music, face it ...

House is black music. People are tired of that. Listen to the terrible voice in What a Feeling. You could expect some gospel yeh yeh yeee and some fake orgasmic grunts anywhere in that sound, just like in the american churches. Cowboy music (rock) and black music is as dead as a stone, face it!
Disneyland and Warner Brothers of course want to make profit and again kill the european music with their house music.
Only fools buy house, only fools download house.

[mtolno88]

Wow, some rediculously bold statements made meckar. I completely disagree with you. Considering that "What A Feeling" reached number 1 on the dance charts in America, I'd say that it's a pretty damn good song. Do you really think you're the only one with good taste in music and thousands of others are stupid? Maybe you should reconsider that one.

not sure what to make of this...it's 99% wrong

you can't tell people which music to listen to, and you can't tell them that they are stupid for listening to it even if they listen to something you consider utter crap,
also...''black'' music?? music is above the color of skin or nationality or any other kind of people sorting
please restrain from comments like this

[Snaggy]

okay, so I admit that I'd love to see commercialized trance music make a comeback as well...but I don't believe putting people down about their taste in music is the answer, or tagging things with racist stereotypes, its not right to say, especially in a forum the public can use.

I believe things circulate in the world of music...remember when Euro-dance in the late 90's was huge, such as Real McCoy, Ace of Base, La Bouche, etc...

well then Cascada came back with a new breed of Euro-dance, it may have not sounded exactly the same as these artists in the 90's, but it was a new generation of the genre, and now its huge all over again...

I believe that same thing will happen with trance down the road, there may be changes that are updated with the time frame, but it would still be trance none-the-less.

[Astral]

i hope you're right, seeing some new trance+vocals songs would be awesome, i'd especially like to see something like that from milk inc, sylver, lasgo or ivd 'cos i know they've got it in them

So you have never heard about black music. Black music was one of the main ingredients in the racial revolution in USA in 1968.
Download Neil Sedaka and Del Shannon (white music) and Wilson Picket, Otis Reading and Martha Reeves & Vandellas (black music). Then you quickly realize why black music quickly nearly wiped out the silly white music for many years. Then black music was revolutionary and new to many.
Today the big american monopoles (Warner Brothers etc.) want to kill the progressive european music. "House music" is what they want you to listen to because that gives the american companies big income.
Its all about business. Progressive european record labels like Mostiko Records now have a difficult time - adapt to the multinational american companies or maybe get strangled and die.
I wrote my meaning because someone thoght I was an idiot because I didnt realize that house music was fantastic. House music is not new, its been around for a long time but obviously it has very strong commersial backing today.

[woussie]

I think this is all bullshit what you're saying ... house is not popular because of the American record companies ... most house producers are from Europe by the way, and releasing their music on European record labels ... so i don't see what profit American labels have in this process ...

And you wanna prove your point with "What a Feeling" ? That song was first released in Belgium and was never supposed to be released in America, they only released it because it got high rotation @ some big dance radio stations in America ... Peter Luts' intention wasn't to create a song "for the American market", as you are trying to say.

House music is popular just because it is; people like it.

House music is not new, its been around for a long time but obviously it has very strong commersial backing today.

you're totally right about that, though ...

The American compagnies make money with Pop music like Britney Spears, Modern Rock or Rap/Hip Hop/R&B music.

The electronic music is not popular in North America.

There are only few House producers in USA like Deep Dish or Roger Sanchez. The others like Peter Rauhofer make House remixes of Pop songs. The best House producers are not in North America.

House is more popular and it's a good thing. House is taking the place of Vocal Trance as commercial music and Electro is taking the place of House in clubs.

If you want Vocal Trance, wait for the release of the next album of Tiesto.

[sylver_milk_inc__rules]

I saw you... all off you talking about vocal trance music and bands... but I didn't saw anybody to mention anything about Sylver music...
Why that? Don't you, people, think that Sylver belong in the top of Vocal Trance European music? Or in Commercial Vocal Trance European Music?
