People just reminded me how much I don't like Trance X, now I don't mind that kind of music but they managed to butcher most of their songs. Kurenai is not bad but it made me cringe when I heard the Trance version of "Art of Life", I mean it was cut down (something I was thankful for in the style it was) and its just not something you do to such an amazing song.
What is wrong with things sounding modern? It's not like the only good music is old music, though I do like a good load of old stuff there is still good modern music, you just need to know where to look. It's not surprising Yoshiki's stuff is the favourites of most members, it's a shame he didn't let the others do more of their own writing for tracks, may have given us a different look at the band's music as a whole.
