5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! Excellent melodic and vocal trance!, November 23, 2003

This is true trance. It's been so techno-rized nowadays, but this is the real deal. If you like uplifting, melodic, morning, or vocal trance this is an absolute must-by. It's so hard to get this kind of music nowadays. Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto - their music is so hard and fast now. Yes, they can produce stuff like this and of this quality... but they are off in a different direction most of the time.

I don't know why some people think because this is NOT a million beats per minute and doesn't have an earth-shaking bass line that this isn't good. Believe me this CD is great. Everything flows nicely... Armin doesn't try to do too much on the CD. It has a nice warm feel. It's the kind of music that you can share with just about anyone. Not just a club-lover.

You can listen to this at work, doing chores, chilling, hanging out or even when you are in the mood to dance. Excellent song selection and vocals. Not too much of anything. The start of the CD is just delicious.

Armin, keep playing and producing music like this... don't follow everyone else. There is a definite huge audience for this. The death of this type of trance has been greatly exaggerated. If you stop making music like this, who will?

Fantastic CD! Put this on and let it caress your troubles away.

5.0 out of 5 stars thumping trance, September 29, 2004

jgarth (australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 76 (Audio CD)

Armin's studio album is packed with energetic, powerful tracks like "Precious", "Blue Fear" and "Communication" right alongside beautiful, more dreamy Chicane-esque vocal tracks with a few light breaks thrown in for fun.

Since every single track on this CD is a winner, I'd have to rate it as one of the best trance compilations out there. To experience this album in all its awesome power, take a long drive across the desert, crank it out at max volume, and get totally transported to another place (It works. I've tried. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars This Was Released for DJs....INSTANT CLASSIC...., October 30, 2003

By 

"4x4beats" (sub-urban NY) - See all my reviews

This review is from: 76 (Audio CD)

AVB would kill me for saying this, but this LP has one objective: to get in DJs Record Boxes (eerr, CD wallet).... This is not a continous, seamlessly mixed AVB stormer.... It is a collection of his works, un-mixed, basically for DJs to DO damage with on their Pioneer CDJ-1000s. Mad sympathy for the casual trance afficionado who was looking for a phat CD to groove out to.... Its not. The tracks are signature AVB productions, if you like Armin, you'll love this CD. It is worth purchasing for BlueFear2003 alone; but you'd have to know about Blue Fear the original to agree. Track's 2, 5, and 13 and headed staright for the dance floor; some other tracks, while from a musical standpoint very tight, may have been intended to go straight to Dutch/European popradio. Overall, this is an excellent LP that will solidify the world-wide following + hype surrounding AVB. Maybe I love this album cause the man himself gave me a free, signed copy of it @ the NYC release party @ ARC. If you like AVB it aint even a question as to whether or not it is worth purchasing....................
