The Dutch have long been a haven for loads of hard dance styles: gabber/hardcore, hardstyle, and hardtrance. Bas & Ram are two Dutch artists who have made quite a splash on the hard trance scene, putting out some real classic belters. Sadly, I wish they'd been a bit more prolific, because there's hardly anything that they've done that I don't think isn't phenomenal. While I like a lot of these Third Wave hardtrancers, like Nostic or The Sixth Sense, or Noizy Boy, or Lee Walls, or... I dunno, several dozens more, it does seem like the focus on "energy" over melody has made their output, while really good, kind of all samey too. But back in Wave Two, during Bas & Ram's heyday, the songs really stood out from each other more.
