Yea they were a good show, but like I didn't really see why one person couldn't do it all! |
Nu Energy Collective have been around for quite a while, circa '99. I don't think they're a prime example of "Hard Trance". Scot Project, Marco V, etc, I would consider as 'Hard Trance', whereas the N.E.C are primarily a Hardcore group, and cover about 20 different Hardcore labels, including Camel, Nu Energy and even an Australian Hardcore label, 'Executive Records' run by a guy DJ Haze who I think is from Sydney. Keven Energy is the main guy, but they have about 10-15 different core members that cover a variety of different Hard Trance and Hardcore styles.
They've done a few Australian parties; Enchanted, AdventJah just the other week, they usually make an appearance at the Godspeed parties in Sydney, and Brisbane gets them out all the time. Mayhem just this past weekend had probably the biggest Hardcore linueup at an Australian event yet.
As for the argument so far, most people here have agreed that different people are going to like different music. As for the argument over which is 'better' in a musical context, people who are into their form of music are always going to understand it better than those who prefer other genres; because thats what you listen to, thats what you love, and thats what you learn. There is no such thing as 'better' music between genres, there's just different tastes.
The trance guys will understand the mechanics of their music and as such will understand and appreciate the nuances and differences between styles of trance that to me sound pretty much the same. On the other hand, those into the harder styles will be able do exactly the same with their music.
With the claim that there is a lack of hard dance in Australia, maybe you're just in the wrong area. Us poor hard dance followers in Melbourne have it a bit tough, but if you're willing to go to Adelaide or better yet, Brisbane, you pretty much can't get away from it.
