The video could have been a bit better but the songs were great.
Slow one- definitely not to my taste...But it's something you could see thousands of people driving to work listening to.
That is going to get him recognised by a whole new audience and opens endless doors for his production work...not just in the dance scene.
IF someone came to me saying 'I like your song- but want to slow it down and change it to suit a different generation/ audience..." I'd jump at the chance.
It's been said before that hardcore isn't the easiest genre to make money from....and for the effort and time that goes into each song---It's well worth making every penny from it.
I don't think that any DJ should stick to any one genre and not venture out a bit...any progress is still progress.
anyway, that's all just my opinion....make of it what you will.
Edit: And as for the video being distasteful...that's just simply wrong...and stupid. not everything is out to interpret to reflect on events from the past...there are so many examples that I could use but not going to waste my time.
agreed
and as for the "distasteful" video because of the Sept 11th? isn't it time people moved on from it? its over 5 years ago, and its long in the past to me personally. I can admit that it will upset some people who have loved ones who did pass on as a result of the event, yet the majority of people out there most likely would have moved on with their lives. Millions of people still get the tube without any remorse after the London bombings, so why should this be any different?

Well I have yet to but a track because of the video, which, in this case, is lucky. lets face it, there wouldn't have been a massive production budget, so it was never going to be amazing.
Still the tune is an awesome one. And i really hope it does well.

Don't understand the fuss TBH.
Totally up to him how he makes a living, and i don't blame him one bit for trying to make the most out of his talents.
Haven't heard any of the other remixes yet so i'll reserve judgement on the quality of the tune until then. I might like it, or i might not - either way you won't be seeing any posts from me saying 'OMFG, DIS IZ DA END OF ARDCORE!!!!!!!1!!!!!111!!!'
Look at it this way, if Styles carries on down the more commercial route there are a fair few people who'll love his tunes and buy them - whether that's the lighter side of Hardcore, or the poppy dance stuff.
On the other hand, if he listened to all the doom merchants and changed to making the stuff that they want, he'd get loads of positive comments - but would sell chuff all!
BTW, anybody else notice that the version on the video would have been pretty much full speed with a beat behind it? Maybe there's hope for the Hardcore version yet....

hahahahahah... sorry, i dont know if anyone said this, but...
I just watched the 'fast' version and noticed that Darren can't even mime properly :P (Is he shy?), and why in hell did I think of Enrique Inglesias when I saw him falling?

I hate music videos anyway, but this as just put me off for life...
Even if Styles was to go to any other genre and give up hardcore don't you think the guy as given his fair share. I mean who would really pass up such a big opportunity. I know most people wouldn't.
