5 out of 5 stars My hat is off to the Master! Beautiful melodic trance........2007-07-12

First of all, make sure you get the album that has 12 tracks on First CD and 16 on the second. There is a version that doesn't have "perspective" track from CD 2, unless amazon made a mistake.
Now, most, if not all tracks on this CD are perfected and very pleasant to the ear. I was expecting this from Armin Van Buuren, but I didn't expect such a sugary-sweet melody, combined with great vocals and such a profound and non-apologetic use of musical instruments, may it be piano or "trance" organ. By many standards this is his best work yet!

Oh, and a term I have never heard, Ambient Trance.

5 out of 5 stars the best of 07'.......2007-07-09

Considering the previous 'state of trance' experiences, I was expecting a good one from Armin.. But this is way beyond it..

The concept of CD1 and CD2 perfectly fit the sound inside them..

The first CD would be a perfect companion on an 'after sun' session watching the sunset on the beach.. A smooth vocal trance.. (Actually the first two songs tell the story :)

The cd opens with 'Cerf, Mitiska & Jaren - Light The Skies (Retrobyte's Classic Electrobounce Mix)', follwed by 'Chris Lake feat. Emma Hewitt - Carry Me Away'..

No need to tell the rest for CD1.. You can easily imagine them, if I give you a couple of names.. Kirsty Hawkshaw, DJ Sash, Kyau & Albert, Jennifer Rene.. etc.. A perfect warm up for a summer night..

CD2 is darker.. It opens with 2 Armin songs 'Miserere' and 'Rush Hour', which set the dark club sound - especially compared with the first CD.. The first 30 mins goes with non vocal trance.. Dark but very uplifting.. Markus Schulz, Mike Foyle, Lost Witness are a couple of names I can mention for the rest..
And it closes with one of the top djs of recent times - Sean Tyas.. another great work from him after the 'Lift'..

In short.. Fantastic compilation.. Don't miss it.. I'm sure most of us will enjoy the CD all through the summer..

5 out of 5 stars Top Trance Album of 2007 By Far.......2007-07-07

I am a big fan of the prestigious DJs for their incredible talent on putting together such amazing mixes, but Armin is by far the most developed DJ and one of the most talented DJs in the world. This album is purely amazing... CD #1 (On The Beach) has songs with such amazing melody and incredible vocals that just gives you goosebumps. CD #2 (The Club) contains more upbeat and progressive songs and remixes. CD #1 is my favorite cd out of the two mainly because of the seductive vocals but overall this whole album is phenomenal.

I've had this album for two weeks now and I've been playing it everyday and I still haven't gotten sick of it! Armin has developed so much and right now he's on fire. Tiesto and PVD have deserved the #1 ranking in years past but AVB is getting my vote for #1 DJ for the DJ Mag rankings. Long live AVB!

5 out of 5 stars Best trance album since the halcyon days of 99'.......2007-07-04

Disc one is simply amazing. I have not heard such a consistent and inspiring mix since Oakenfold's peak in the late ninties. I have never much cared for AVB in the past but have always kept on top of his ASOT mixes as they always tended to bring out some good tracks here and there. But with disc one of this album AVB went WAY beyond anything he has ever done before. This album is an instant classic. A State of Trance 2007 is THE must have album of 2007. Read the other reviews, they pretty well say it all. You will not be dissapointed.

5 out of 5 stars A State of Trance 2007.......2007-06-26

I can't really add a lot to the other reviews. But what I can say is this: If you were going to buy make one trance purchase this year, Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" should be it.

There is a seemingly unending supply of trance/ dance/ electronica CD's out there for purchase. It's impossible for me to keep up with them. I imagine it's impossible for a new listener to know what to buy. But you can never go wrong with Armin van Buuren's State of Trance series.

It's basically the gold standard for trance music. So pick it up. It's solid from start-to-finish over both discs, which is an impressive feat. I dare you to put this on and not be moving in your seat, tapping your feet, feeling it! Good stuff!

Amazon.com

Tiësto sticks to his guns on a new album of original compositions that follows 2004's Just Be. Elements of Life strikes a satisfying balance between inventive vocal tracks and signature trance stormers: "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise," "Driving to Heaven," and "Bright Morning Star" all glow with the Dutchman's epic sound, one that is simultaneously haunting and uplifting. On the vocal side, the soaring energy of "Break My Fall," which features BT on vocals, will not disappoint fans of the duo's prior work on "Just Be" and other collaborations. To be sure, there are a number of less convincing pieces as well: "Dance4Life" with Faithless's Maxi Jazz falls flat, and the lyrics of "Can You Feel Me" prove that the genre's reputation for banal wordsmithing is not entirely undeserved. For the most part, however, these weaker moments are outweighed by the stronger tracks. Principal among these is undoubtedly "Sweet Things"--in which Charlotte Martin's vocal high-wire act is complemented by some exceptional programming--a track that is sure to receive a great many spins by DJs around the globe and yet further proof that when it comes to bringing alive the female voice for the dancefloor, Tiësto remains without equal. All in all, it's a safe bet that many of Tiësto's Elements will be making their way into DJ crates and MP3 players alike. --Brent Kallmer

Album Description

Tiësto is undeniably one of the greatest DJ talents of this era. Internationally recognized as the world's premier DJ and producer, Tiësto continually takes electronic music to the next level - pushing boundaries with his addictive and creative trance creations. With his prior album releases enjoying outstanding success in the States, the time has come for his next installment: ELEMENTS OF LIFE. This record includes brilliant collaborations from the likes of BT, Maxi Jazz (Faithless) and other incredible female vocalists; a stunning collection of uplifting trance ensues. Supporting this release with performances at Coachella, WMC and an extensive national tour through Summer 07, Elements of Life will be THE electronic album of 2007.

5 out of 5 stars Tiësto is Tiësto.......2007-07-11

After Just Be, I didn't have too high expectations of this album, even though I did like Just Be. This album doesn't have slow tracks, the vocal performances are just great. All songs fit his style and a couple of them may remind you his first hits.

4 out of 5 stars Music to Write Code By.......2007-07-05

Another good addition to a long playlist of trance electronica I listen to while writing code. Thanks, D.J. Tiesto!

5 out of 5 stars Simply Great.......2007-07-05

One of the best Tiesto CD's I've had the pleasure of owning. It has been playing on repeat for a week now and I haven't gotten tired of it. "Sweet Things" is one of my favs on it. The teme from Pirates of the Caribean is awesome too.

2 out of 5 stars Dissapointing coming from Tiesto........2007-07-04

I expected better of Tiesto, but his decline continues with Elements of Life. Some of the tracks (like Sweet Things) were just bad. Terrible vocals, poor sounding in general. Let PVD and AVB take over; they deserve to. They continue to produce quality stuff. Tiesto has just finally began to choke on his ego, and it will be the eventual complete demise of him. Tiesto is more concerned about spreading his name, and doesn't spend enough time in the studio. He has basically forgotten about the music that has famed him. AVB does a weekly radio show and keeps on top of everything Trance. Tiesto keeps on top of himself, and nothing more.

5 out of 5 stars Great Buy!!!.......2007-07-03

This one is a must have for all tiesto fans. The samples do justice so listen to it before you buy the album. Tiesto likes experimenting like he did with this one. The album starts off with a melodic mix and transitions into more proggy, core tracks. Overall good buy, highly recommended

3 out of 5 stars Ferry Corsten - Passport to the USA.......2007-06-28

Let me say that Ferry Corsten's newest release "Passport to the United States of America" is Good, but it just didn't really blow me away. I thought his Passport Netherlands was stronger.

Passport USA is solid but never really reaches epic trance status. It gets in the ballpark, but never really made me go "wow" for any extended period of time. Plus you're paying quite a bit of money for only one disc of music. I could do without the DVD if the album cost less.

There are TONS of other trance/ dance/ electronica discs out there. I would skip this and get Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" instead.

5 out of 5 stars One of Ferry's Best.......2007-06-25

Certainly a great mix. Although it's unfortunately only 1 disk, Ferry still delivers a well balanced collection of the recently popular electro-sounding progressive trance in addition to the high pumping synth lines that Corsten does best.

Album Description

The much anticipated NEW ALBUM containing 26 unreleased, all original songs by one of the world's premier DJs - ATB!

On this, his seventh album, ATB has succeeded in combining two worlds, without intermingling them unnecessarily. Trilogy's first disc ("Dance") provides the electronic and melodious ATB sound blended with a unique rock and pop crossover flavour. The second disc ("Chill"), on the other hand, offers the listener 14 super smooth tracks.

"Every album should have its own soul and a golden thread leading through all the songs. However, you only really feel the soul if you listen to all the songs together. If you mix up the faster and slower songs, that isn't going to work," explains Andre.

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars ATB's new sounds, and then some........2007-07-06

This is definitely a high-flyer for ATB. It reminds me very much of the Two Worlds album, with the first CD being mainly techno-y/pop songs and the second CD being a great ambient mix. I'm not much of a fan of Heather Nova, and there's something about the featured single, "Renegade" that doesn't sound right, but dedicated ATB fans will like the new sounds, especially if you can't find quite the same kind of ambient that only ATB has. I would say it's no Movin' Melodies, or Two Worlds for that matter, but it's definitely worth the money. I've loved and listened to ATB for 6 years and I'm impressed that he can come out with a refreshingly new two-disc set after being in the game this long.

4 out of 5 stars Great album...but does not reach "No silence" yet..........2007-06-26

ATB is an excellent DJ. Although he's classified in the Trance category, a more appropriate definition of his style would be melodic trance, as pointed out by a reviewer here. If you look for DJ tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, PVD like trance, go elsewhere. This is more mellow, more subtle trance here. The first CD has great vocal trance tracks (Renegade with Heather Nova will probably be among the most popular), pretty energetics sometimes, but nothing like the heavy basses rhythms of the DJs I mentionned earlier. Very laid back and relaxing.
The second CD, is definitely leaning towards dream music. very relaxing, excellent chillout tracks, perfect for a lazzy afternoon, or a quiet drive from the club at 4am.
4 stars only? well, rating is different for everybody, but to me, ATB really stood out with his previous album "No silence" and tracks like Ectasy, Marrakech, and others. IMHO this album is not as innovative and sort of surf on the same wave but no higher.
dont get me wrong though, it's still great music. I guess I'm just not as nicely surprised as with the "No silence" album. if you liked it, buy this one with your eyes closed.

4 out of 5 stars ATB - Trilogy.......2007-06-25

ATB's newest CD is confusingly called "Trilogy". It's confusing since it's only 2 Discs-long, when I thought it was going to be 3 Discs-long - given the "Trilogy" title.

On top of that, it's almost like buying 2 completely different, separate artists' albums. That said, both of Trilogy's discs are good at what they set out to do.

Disc 1 is your typical ATB album. It's upbeat; it's dance-able. It's catchy, but never cheesey. There are good beats throughout and points to ATB for producing/creating them himself. A lot of DJ's can just spin good records, but ATB can also make good records. I thought the vocals were good throughout. This album is great for clubbing, driving fast, partying, etc. If you are a fan of ATB's other stuff, Disc 1 should definitely appeal to you.

Disc 2 however, is about as opposite from Disc 1 as you can get. Disc 2 is super mellow, ambient music. It is background music at its finest. It's calming, and can actually be beautiful at times - again a testament to ATB's ability to produce/create/make music. This CD is perfect for staying calm in rush-hour traffic, reading a book, or trying to fall asleep to.

So both CDs are good, even if they're really not related. I'm not sure anyone would ever naturally want to listen to them back-to-back; they're just so different from one another. If you are strictly a fan of the trance/dance genre, Disc 1 is for you, and you may hate Disc 2. If you're open to a wider taste of music, you may like both discs.

4 out of 5 stars nice!.......2007-06-20

I like this... there is a compilation I found on itunes called "EURO CLUB HITS VOL. 1" that has more stuff like this, even better some of it

5 out of 5 stars A Bit Different, But I Feel This CD Has More Depth.......2007-06-14

ATB's latest album Trilogy is better than I could have ever imagined. I've been a fan of ATB since I first heard The Fields of Love many years ago. I have seen ATB live in the US on two occasions and own all of his cds.

The first cd reminds me of Seven Years (ATB's compilation album of his best songs) - that's how good the songs are, full of depth and as though they could all be a hit. ATB has evolved, so if you were hoping for that infamous guitar riff, it's not in this cd. The beats and the lyrics, however, are catchier than ever.

I disagree with a previous user's comment that Jan Lochel's vocals are rocky as it's tough to find a good male singer in a trance song. I think that Jan Lochel does a fantastic job and when you look at the variety of singers like Heather Nova and Karen Ires, the album pulls together well. It's good to have both male and female singers in trance/pop songs. While I miss Roberta Carter Harrison's voice, each different singer does a good job to complete their song. I highly recommend this album.

Album Description

Rabbit In The Moon have established an enormous fan base with the release of their 12-inch singles, remix work, and exploration in live performance. With their world renowned remixes for Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Garbage, and countless others, it's no wonder they have the world eagerly awaiting the release of their first full-length CD/DVD. Their style of electronic music is timeless, but to truly understand this group is to see and hear them live. This 80+ minute DVD takes you behind the scenes and in front of thousands of screaming fans at one of their live festival performances, shot in Hi-Def with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

5 out of 5 stars A great release from a the legendary RITM!.......2007-07-13

I think this is a *fanstatic* release, mostly because of the DVD content, but I like the CD a lot as well. Being the fan that I am, I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars for that DVD content being what it is. Yes, there is some dated stuff on the album, but it is called "Decade", and the song "Deeper" alone justifies that title. I see some of the other reviewers who are fans, but giving it low-star reviews, that's really too bad. It may be because they were expecting a full new CD of all new material, and didn't get that. Still, I see that those of us who "know the deal", so to speak, know that the essence of Rabbit In The Moon is the live show, I think the DVD content gives a pretty close approximation to what it's actually like to see them live. But tell me, who, of the RITM fans among us, especially those who have seen them live in the least year, didn't FLIP out when they were listening to the "Decade" CD and heard the phrase "Look into the eye!" for the first time, on track 8.. with memories flooding in of Bunny with his TV-on-a-stick?? I know I did. And that song is followed by the AMAZING rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", followed by Deeper (which is admittedly old
but is a classic and couldn't be excluded) but then there's a brand new mix of O.B.E. that, correct me if I'm wrong, has never been released before. (And I own the original Phases O.B.E. 12" record). I love the new mix of that song, and I think it's a great album, even though every single song doesn't thrill me. But even with this CD, some of the older RITM songs that I never really liked much before, like Dubbasex for example, listened carefully and given them another chance, and found they are actually very subtle and beautiful songs.

There is more newer material on the album than some reviewers let on, in fact well over half of it is new. There are a few ommissions, IMO, for example I would have liked to see "Electro Accupuncture" on this CD, but then again that has been released before on a CD, still I think it would have fit in well here though as well. I love the DVD the most, because it reminds me why I've been such a huge fan for so many years, with probably about 7 shows under my belt. To all the fans out there, buy this album! Show your support! Remember the old Zen Festial 96-97 shows, with Bunny, in his disco-ball suit, being lowered by a cable from the ceiling! remember how you felt at those times. They have earned our suport! To those folks new to the electronica genre, this is a good glimpse into understanding the engima that is Rabbit in the Moon... RITM so much more than can possible be described in one album, album review, DVD, magazine article, or antyhing else. There's a whole history and culture behind these guys'one-of-a-kind stlye of performance art, and I think this release captures the essence of it almost as best you could with the amount of material provided. Buy it for the DVD, but then take the audio CD, put in in your car stereo, put on track 8, and crank it up!

3 out of 5 stars Great yet lacking.......2007-07-12

So, if your a rabbit head like me, you've probably heard most of these tracks at their shows. So why is this CD a great purchase? Quite simply because you are a rabbit head and they need our support. If you're new to Rabbit in the Moon then you need to hear what the music is about. The really cool feature is that in the DVD each suit comes with an explanation which will help new listeners/show goers to understand the meaning of the show as a whole and the suits individually. Are there tracks missing? Absolutely. The now famous jungle track used for the dragon slaying sequence is missing, so is the old light suit track which is a favorite amongst show goers. However, the single most significant fact about this release is the release it self. If this goes good, we will see a new Rabbit in the Moon CD sometime soon. Remember, this is their first attempt at this, so lets support them. After all, they have been connecting to us for over a decade, the least we can do is buy the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Finally!.......2007-07-12

Yes, many of the tracks have been previously released. Yes, much of the album sounds like a product of the 90s. Should that be a problem if the music is good?

I am pleased to witness this finally see the light of day. The music sounds great with a pair of headphones, and the DVD only makes it better.

4 out of 5 stars 15 years later, they deliver... but no surprises.......2007-07-11

I've been listening to Rabbit in the Moon for 13 years... heck, the first time I ever rolled was at a RITM show in 1994. I love these guys. Now, this album is solid, but not ground-breaking. It's not really phoned in, but then it's not really innovative either. That's partially because these are almost all old tracks. I think there's actually only one track on the entire album that wasn't previously released. Some of these date back, literally, a decade. In fact, "Out of Body Experience" was released in '93, so they could have called it "Decade and a Half". Anyways, the new track is pretty cool, a cover of David Bowie's "Let's Dance". For longtime fans though, it's really about the DVD. The footage is great, including some from a protest rally at the WTO in the Czech Republic. So even though the album doesn't have much new to offer old fans, it's still worth picking up. For interested newbies, it's a must-buy. It's put together very well, with appropriate mixes of each track chosen. It nearly brought a tear to my eye finally hearing all these tracks in album format. I think that alot of "long-time" fans will be highly disappointed because they've never heard these tracks sitting at home, sober. Yes, obviously, ANYTHING will sound better when you're high, on a gigantic soundsystem. Go pick up some decent headphones, find some good visuals, and let RITM carry you away into your own out of body experience.

1 out of 5 stars RECYCLED DECADE.......2007-07-11

I hate this because I am a great fan . . . but I have to admit that these guys haven't really done much lately.
Their shows are AMAZING! The stuff of legend, but they seem to have not had much commitment to new
studio projects asides from the occasional remix. This is all stuff that has been recycled from the past decade.
It really is a shame because the talent is there, I wish I didn't have to say this, but, I call as I see it.

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Thrilling Rollercoaster Ride!.......2007-06-15

I expected there to be only a handful of songs that would sound great but it turns out that the entire CD is really just one crazy roller coaster of unique trancey sounds. This is the first CD I ever bought that I can listen to all the way through to the last track enjoying each track along the way, while not skipping past anything.

When I first bought this CD I thought I was making a mistake because I never heard of "The Thrillseekers", who apparently is one guy, not the assumed two-three DJ's. However, I should never judge trance by it's jewel case anymore. This CD amazed me and I'm starting to like the Nightmusic series better than In Search of Sunrise and A State of Trance. We'll see what happens in the second volume coming out this month.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect trance collection..........2007-05-21

Wow! What a powerful trance collection... This collection, together with Armin's State of Trance 2006 and ATB's In the Mix 3, are the most perfect trance collections of the last 5 years (I would add Tiesto's In search of sunrise - Los Angeles, but it's not 100% trance, since it has some chill out tunes).
I'll be anxiously waiting for the next Thrillseeker's album!


5 out of 5 stars Cool.......2007-05-15

Hey it turns out everyone who liked this was right .... I do too. Good solid trance to dance to.

4 out of 5 stars VOCALS.......2007-02-17

WHY IS IT THAT VOCALS ARE SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE IN TRANCE?

To me their distractions!

DJ's and Producers PLEASE LEAVE THE BUBBLEGUM POP VOCALS for the teeny-bopper radio!

This set lost the fifth star just because of Who's Knocking (Ferry Corsten Remix).

Take the songs with vocals in them out and you still have 22 good trance songs.

4 out of 5 stars Not too bad.......2007-05-26

I generally disliked Frank's classical type music....too used to the Mothers of Invention. But, this effort sort of bridges the gap between the two. And, I admit, I'm growing more tolerant in my old age.

5 out of 5 stars the best guitar CD I never listened in my life.......2007-03-30

Sometimes it's necessary to become in the past for knowing the real masters of music this is a great occasion to to it

3 out of 5 stars Too Little Too Late.......2007-03-18

After years of listening to the two previous Zappa guitar cds, I was not very moved by this release. Frank is soloing over many of the same vamps and changes but his playing lacks the inventiveness of the earlier recordings. The segues and editing from track to track are not nearly as seamless as Frank was capable of. I suspect this was a result of a man exhausted from fighting a devastating illness. Chunga's Revenge being a favorite theme, it would have been nice to hear another version of this tune featuring Frank instead of Dweezil. Dweezil has alot of chops but he ain't sayin' nothin'. A bunch of empty notes. Listen to the original album for this track and Transylvania Boogie. Frank's guitar is testifying!

5 out of 5 stars If you like Zappa's noodling - you'll love it. .......2007-03-09

it's Dweezle on the first and last track - and then Frank on the rest.
A powerful testament to his ability to keep it together and the dynamic fluidity of his musical mind on the fretboard.

There are few like him.
It's some of the best hammy riffing since Hot Rats.

2 out of 5 stars Zapped.......2007-02-07

No Doubt that Frank was a huge influence on my life ( who could imagine? )from the earliest Mothers. But this must appeal to guitar players more than me; I can listen to Robert Fripp, John McClaughlin and Jeff Beck for hours but this seems repetitive and boring. Can I end this review with an Apostrophe?

Amazon.com's Best of 1999

Those who have followed Moby's career are familiar by now with his deep convictions and spiritual connection. On his 1999 release, Play, he celebrates his faith in a masterful, unobtrusive way, channeling gospel and other inspirational samples through beats so earthy they could grow grass on a cement dance floor. It's impossible to separate the joy of the message from the joy of the grooves. --Beth Massa

Amazon.com essential recording

The great iconoclast of techno returns with a smooth, sacred, and exhilarating record. Play's concoction of breakbeat rhythms, ambient mixology, and inspired blues and gospel samples cry out across musical genres and histories, imparting a time-tested wisdom to beat-driven ears. Moby's devout faith--in both God and his own musical whims--give this approach a sort of legitimacy that another, less sincere artist would never have. That sincerity reverberates through the beats and instrumental eclecticism like a pulse. The soulful refrains and proclamations in "Find My Baby" and "Natural Blues" somehow nestle between straight-up dance-floor rave-ups ("Bodyrock") and melt-in-your-mouth ambience ("Inside") with an effortless grace. Moby reaches across his turntables and finds something pure--almost organic. In fact, the album feels more natural than techno is ever supposed to feel, more spiritual than what DJs are supposed to be able to muster, and more alive than it has any right to be. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars One of the Great Albums of the 90's.......2007-04-24

I was introduced to this album by my brother and was not sure if I would like it as I grew up in the seventies and was therefore somewhat out of touch with today's artists. But from the opening notes of HONEY, I was hooked. Moby put together a wonderful collection of songs for this album, most of which are instantly memorable, covering rock, pop, ambient music, gospel and ballads. Eighteen songs is a lot for one album and maybe four could have been left off: DOWN SLOW and 7 are very short, almost snippets. The spoken tracks: IF THINGS WERE PERFECT and THE SKY IS BROKEN are irritating and I tend to skip them. My other criricism is that the best tracks are contained in the first half of the album and it tends to run out of steam after RUN ON. So maybe a differnet playing order would have held my interest better. But that is only a minor complaint as there are so many wonderful tracks.

HONEY, WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SO BAD, BODYROCK, RUSHING, RUN ON, NATURAL BLUES, EVERLOVING, GUITAR FLUTES AND STRING, PORCELAIN, FIND MY BABY, SOUTHSIDE and MACHETE are standouts. PORCELAIN may be overplayed as I see it listed on most chillout albums, including PURE MOODS 3 but there is no denying it is a great song. SOUTHSIDE is the other big hit but it does not really need Gwen Stefani's guest vocal and some other songs do tend to repeat the one line over and over (HONEY, FIND MY BABY, WHY DOES MY HEART...) but they never sound motonous. But the album is more creative than most today and this guy is very versatile with different styles of music. My favourite way to listen to the album is to delete the four tracks mentioned above that i do not care for and then let the album play. It is beautiful, raw, soulful and edgy all at once.

By the way skip the liner notes. Moby pours forth about his beliefs on various topics and I for one don't really care. I am interested in some of the issues he talks about but it does come accross as a little bit preachy. Just create more great music. Below are track listing and times. Some have an A+ rating to show my favourites.

4 out of 5 stars nice!.......2007-06-20

I like this... there is a compilation I found on itunes called "EURO CLUB HITS VOL. 1" that has more stuff like this, even better some of it

3 out of 5 stars Cheesy and predictable .......2007-06-17

I used to be a big fan of trance music a few years ago but as time went on, the genre became stale and dull. Every trance artist used that same tiresome recipe of a male programmer/dj and a female singer. I can't tell one Euro pop act from another nowadays. They all sound alike. No wonder their careers don't last for more than two albums. Cascada follows that same cookie cutter, formulaic recipe that made their peers like 4 Strings and their tiresome ilk popular.

I have to admit Cascada's music is quite melodic. The pop hooks quickly got stuck in my head. It is hard not want to dance to this music. Unfortunately everything else sounds generic and lifeless. Cascada offers nothing new or original. Was it really necessary to cover that treacly Savage Garden ballad "Truly, Madly, Deeply"? I did though like their cover of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" but how many times can that song be covered? Obviously not enough.

Cascada quickly reminded me why I no longer listen to vocal trance music any more. It all sounds the same. This genre needs to die quickly.

5 out of 5 stars This Album will Leave You Speechless.......2007-06-04

Wow. I was speechless when I bought the new Cascada "Every time We touch" album. Her songs and lyrics are amazing and I know you'll love them. Men, want to show a sensitive side, and show her you care and you know what a woman likes? Well, I recommend buying her these great tracks that she is sure to love. What woman wouldn't want this, Cascada is a great singer no matter what genre you like. This album includes the tracks "Every Time We Touch", "Kids In America", and a spectactular remake of "Truly Madly Deeply", a song you and your partner will love to listen to together. Buy it for yourself or as a gift, either way, you can't go wrong.

1 out of 5 stars Music for SCUM........2007-04-02

It's not often that you hate a record after the first few seconds, but that's exactly what happened here. Not for the music itself though.. let me explain.

First of all - the actual music is AWFUL. Tinny, flat sound with as much depth, charm and passion as a Happy Meal. Dull, formulaic drivel that consists of cover after cover - take a famous song, strap a instantly dated techno beat behind it, get token blonde to sing the vocals and voila - one super-suck album.

As the official Room 101 of Amazon, The Curmudgeon has access to many exclusive things. And so here is an actual excert from the recording studio where this travesty was recorded...

"What's that? Oh - 'Truly Madly Deeply' - that's a song that people who don't actually like music will know - cover that. Oh, and Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America' - that's got a good chorus, hasn't it. Let's cover that too. 'How Do You Do' by Roxette. What the hell - cover it. We really are making a worthwhile and quality album here, aren't we? Pass the cocaine."

But like I said - it's not the actual music that is so abhorrent - its the image it brings when you first hear it, of the actual low-life, teenage single mother SCUM who will buy it.

You WILL hear this coming from some empty-headed yo-yo-knickered harlot's I-Pod. You WILL hear this coming from some clapped-out car full of thick kids in baseball caps. You WILL hate absolutely everyone who listens to this.

People who listen to this don't even know what music IS. Don't be one of them.

If you like anything resembling electronic music, you'll likely LOVE this! I have all his stuff...he's amazing, especially with a hi-fi system or earphones that really cover full frequency (flatly): 5-25K Hz.

4 out of 5 stars Armin breaks loose in 2006.......2007-02-14

Armin van Buuren's style, from the countless mixes/broadcasts I have heard him put out, tends to waver with inconsistency. I think A State of Trance 2006 is where Armin finally hits his stride and is able to keep up with his own work.

Disc 1 (On The Beach) is a really great opening disc. Whether you find yourself rocking to and fro in a hammock or grooving enthusiastically in the sand & summer sun, this CD acts as a nice soundtrack. More atmospheric and spacey, Armin illustrates his grasp of the wheel when he proves himself able to incorporate some type of a pulse - sometimes surprisingly quick and hard - into this kind of "spaced" motif. In other words, On The Beach is not by any stretch of the imagination something ambient, and yet it is. The unobtrusive bpm simply propels the music, which takes the forefront, onward.

Disc 2 (At The Club) is where Armin has been known to shine; crazy, pulsating dance-floor-destroyer melodic trance comes pumping out of the speakers the minute the laser hits the disc. It doesn't become boring, and thankfully the vocals were really kept to a tolerable minimum in this mix. At The Club reminds me a lot of the frenetic, almost breakbeat melodic trance Armin dished out with his ASoT:2004, only this flows much better, linearly instead of jagged peaks and valleys. I loved ASoT:2004, but sometimes the lack of careful mixing or track placement makes it too hectic too enjoy - even on the dance floor, if you can believe that one.

I feel like Armin's been tinkering with stylistic techniques during the previous State of Trance mixes - 2004 & 2005. I loved both, but each went off in some undesirable direction at some point and never quite seemed able to return to base. Armin seems to have taken the warmer from 2004 and the cooler from 2005 and rightly combined them to produce 2006; highlighting his electronica capabilities with flying colors and putting forth a set in which BOTH discs are equally as desirable.

....No doubt this puts Armin back on the maps, even after releases like '76' temporarily took him off of my own. A great all-around CD to own, especially for Armin fans but also those of The Thrillseekers, Tiesto and Solarstone.

The Trance style of music is something new to me.So,I took a chance on this CD set and I have to say it's exactly what I was looking for. Both CD's are EXCELLENT in my opinion.I liked it so well I bought AVB's CD set - 10 Years - which I also feel is an Excellent set.

5 out of 5 stars Armin is simply the best.......2007-02-06

I won't go into a lot of detail here, but both of these disks are pretty amazing. The first one starts out somewhat slow, but then it builds into quite an energetic masterpiece. The second disk is pretty mind blowing throughout. I listened to the second disk first because the sub-title (In the club) drew my attention more. After listening to that disk about 25 times, I finally listened to the first disk, subtitled (At the beach) and to my surprise, after listening to it one or two times, I found myself liking it even more than the first. No way around it, if you like Trance, you have to buy this two disk set, it's as simple as that.
