He did not sacrifice anything either, Darude has managed to grow as an artists and producer, his first album is great, he live show was also good, over the last two years he has developed and improved his live show 10 fold, and his new album i think shows a more mature "darude", you'll have to listen to it and let me know what you think. When you ask me to compare him to BT or Sammy i really cant, all three are so different.
