3.0 out of 5 stars Ferry Corsten - Passport to the USA, June 27, 2007

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Impressive, but not as good as the first, September 4, 2007

Not a bad compilation. Any true fan can tell this is Ferry's style from a mile away. All the tracks seem to share his unique electronic sound in a subtle manner (especially his beats). But I personally think that Passport: Kingdom Of The Netherlands was his better compilation. There were more tracks on that one that I like. Ferry didn't seemed to put as much effort into this one, seeing that it was only a single disc compilation this time. I'm sure his Euro-domestic version is a double-disc. He compensated by making the second disc a DVD that followed him on his Road To Voodoo Tour of the US, along with the so-called "music video" of Junk (which I was looking forward to seeing, but it just turned out to be continuing footage of one of his concerts). I'm a fan of Ferry Corsten and I really hate to bad-mouth him since he's always done so well in the past, but he kind of dropped the ball on this one (perhaps it's a political statement of what peace-loving Europeans think of the US?). As for the few tracks that I actually liked:

"Late Summer Fields (Deeper Sunrise Mix)" has a nice Chillout sound that works well with its' Trance beat. I dig the piano and the male vocal combination. I don't hear enough of that. It's good to listen to if you're out sailing during Summer vacation. "Beautiful (Original Mix)" is definitely better than the L.E.F. album version because it lasts a minute longer and mixes very well into the next track! Ferry's unique sound really shines through here! This is followed by "Worlds", which is a truly bangin' track! The small hint of tribal beats are mind-blowing! I can see Ferry spinning this track while the floor is full and jumping with party-goers. "The Sunlight (Original Mix)" is a massive track! It reminds me of the recently long heat wave that just ended. I hear a little bit of acid riffs associated with Psytrance in this track. Great song for those who are trippin' out on just about anything. My trip was the brutally hot weather. "Hope (Original Mix)" blew my mind because it mixed in so flawlessly from the last one that the only way I could tell was by looking at track info! Ferry's sound shines once again. Any fan who has at least one of his compilations and.or albums can tell that the sound of this one indicates itself as the last track. It has that "Goodbye, til we meet again" sound to it. Good finish.

2.0 out of 5 stars Nicely Mixed But Terrible Track Selection, May 23, 2008

Though I'm not the biggest fan of the trance genre, I like to listen to a few trance albums now and again in the hope of finding a gem in the rut. Passport to the United States of America by Corsten is no such gem. Ferry's mixing and editing are always excellent (and is again here), but the tracks featured on this album are ordinary or less than ordinary. This mix has nothing standout-ish about it. After a few listens, I was over this album...another dust collector.

2.5/5 stars
