 History Of Music - School Of The Netherlands
The Netherlands were preeminently fitted to carry on great commercial pursuits by virtue of their geographical situation and long combat and association with the sea.
In short, Music, by being brought into contact with the ideas of the world instead of a local association, took on a universal form and feeling never be-fore felt and never,to be relinquished.
For this reason, Music unconsciously advanced from Paris to the Nether-lands, toward the greater sphere of influence, stopping for only a short period with the Gallo-Belgic school, where it was prepared technically for its new growth as a world form.

This notwithstanding the fact that there are older musical traditions in the Netherlands such as old sailors' ballads, accordion music, street-band, carnival-like music, brass band music, waltz and polka dancing which have clear affinities with specific subgenres of country music, particularly Tex-Mex music.

 Ferry Corsten: Passport: Kingdom of the Netherlands - PopMatters Music Review
Some of the best pop artists across the whole range of genres create music that could be conceivably referred to as formulaic without any real pejorative connotations.
This is the electronic music equivalent of one of those rock bands that goes around to bars and state fairs playing all the songs that were popular 10 or 20 years ago, with no concessions made to changing tastes or regrettable fashion.
There will always be someone willing to pay for the privilege of swaying drunkenly to "Smoke on the Water", same as there will seemingly always be someone to wave their glowsticks in the air during the epic breakdowns in Corsten's "Sublime".

"Passport: Kingdom of the Netherlands" is also presented as being reflective of the most recent sound Corsten has involved himself in, although this essentially doesn't sound at all dramatically distinctive when comparing it to his previous releases.
This is a solid release that competently produces the sensation of proceeding through a journey of music- with highs and lows, with gentle atmosphere and hammering intensity.
What I hate about some "trance" fans is that they expect all the music from their artists to be ENTIRELY upbeat, and that would severely limit the artists creativity.
