Yep, 'Schranz' is a german word used to describe the sound and tunes wich are played by Chris Liebing, Massimo, Toni Rios, Frank Lorber and sometimes even Sven Väth. Most people on this lis don't dig this sound, others do (like me) but what's strange about the whole discussion is that if for instance Hawtin or Mills is playing in Germany and pump out the tunes like Leibing or Väth do everybody thinks it's cool! Where as i would say they play 'schranz' as well, check out Mills set @ hafentunnel, frankfurt in Germany last year august for example, no different then Liebing! Just my thoughts on the subject.
