Ok i know i have not been kind to these guys despite their hard work and i realised how much of their work the last couple of years i have quite enjoyed. So for a change i decided to list the tracks they have made as a collab that have hit the mark for me recently.
-It started with found a groove. When the second album was released i gave it a miss and when it finally got a digital release on trackitdown, i discovered found a groove which i couldn't immediately explain why i liked so much but a couple of years on it's still a great track and i still have no idea why.
-2012 also brought don't let go of love which again is a bit of an enigma for me, i don't like the opening but after 30 seconds it started to make sense. It's a nice easy going vocal tune that i find hard to skip.
-2013 was when it really happened for me with coming back to me which is catchy as hell and also the point where i really started to like what they were doing. HU6 was released and CDjay sent me HU ep 4 i think and i found two tracks i fell in love with being Just a ride and promises. The first i think is part due to my being a Bill Hicks fan but even then the tune is immense and promises was the subject of quite a Dj tools related hissy fit on my part. Both of those tracks make my all time top 100 which i'm quite proud of to be honest.
-This year has been a good year for them. I quite like No dark clouds from live at rehab, but the one that really hits home is Magic chords from the magic chord album that arrived today that i think i've listened to seven or so times. There has been some other stuff in between of course but the above are the main ones that have hit the spot.

They're simply the best. A lot of emotion and good synths and melodies in their tracks. Definitely my #1 (I do actually believe Darwin is the best, Fracus is good but not a fan of the majority of his solo stuff but he has some wicked good ones). :)

as djs: they are really hot i love the set they play in live
as producers: FRACUS is good but not amazing but DARWIN is ****ing dangerous with his intense melodies inspired by the trance. when they work together sometimes they make very good work and sometimes less good. for me the best tracks are:FLOOR BURN,REALMS & ROGH-CUTS,A NEW DAYS COMES.

I can't wait for the official commemorative plate, series of pogs, and the underwear range.

The reason you like Found A Groove so much is because it's a big tune!
I love it.

Saying you don't like End On A Hard Note is like saying you don't like music as a whole.
