4.0 out of 5 stars A solid buy for trance/electro fans of any kind, October 6, 2003

Ian Van Dahl's music is high bpm electronic trance with soothing female vocals. Annemie Coenen's voice is perfect for the soft yet uplifting pace of the songs. The music itself is rather simple in composition, consisting only of a few layers, but the formula works and is still addictive (this CD is best enjoyed played loud on a good sound system). Truthfully, there is not much about Ian Van Dahl to seperate them from other bands/artists in the genre. It seems as though most of the female vocal-laden trance music these days sounds very much the same. Just listen to the Trance Party compilations and you will see what I mean. But hey...if it sounds good, listen to it. Aside from sounding a little generic, Ian Van Dahl's Ace is an worthy entry for the ears of any electronic music listener. The extra CD is nothing to get excited about (it's just one slightly different version of Castles In The Sky and the video for Will I?), but it's a welcome bonus.

i really liked the first two songs especially but the whole CD was good as there were no terrible tracks
my favorite song by Ian van Dahl is Castles in the Sky and i love the vocals, however the version on this CD the vocalist is not as good and i was disappointed
if you like female vocal trance id say go for this one

Throbbing-good bass with a constantly-changing techtronics background overlayed with exceptionally clean and soothing female vocal tracks. Terrific!
