5.0 out of 5 stars I just had to write a review for this album. Read., February 19, 2008

By	Matt G. Navarro - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This CD gets better and better. I can't stop listening to it. I'm not even a hardcore trance fan. There really is something truly magical about the selection of every one of these tracks. Nearly every single one of them is a favorite of mine. I will admit, there were a couple of moments during my first listen of this CD where I actually thought, "Oh, it just sounds like another typical trance album." I put the CD down for a couple of days. I put it back in, and suddenly every song just sticks out amazingly. The melodies are pure and beautiful in every one of these tracks, especially the ones with vocal, and I'm usually not a huge fan on vocal tracks, but these are gorgeous.

I love to DJ, and I like being as open as possible to all the music I hear of all genres, and trance is not my favorite, but this album truly does it for me. I own all of Armin's State of Trance albums and some other live sets of his, so you can expect amazingly flawless mixing, but putting that aside, and focusing more on the quality of these tracks, there truly is something about these melodies that hits the spot. If it doesn't hit you in the face at first, please give it another try. I really believe this album is magical. Oh yeah, and you can hear the crowd too, which is always a lovely touch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome timing for new mix CD!, December 7, 2007

By	chuckno (Bothell, WA) - See all my reviews

I was finally getting bored from all the previous mix albums released throughout the year (Tiesto, Above & Beyond, Thrillseekers, etc) and then I saw this on iTunes 5 days before it's release! I love the live mix and it should be a requirement that every DJ put out one live mix a year. You can feel the energy of the crowd and for some reason it makes the music seem that much better. I love the first two tracks as they create a great intro to one of the best sets list of the year. I would have to say "Resound" and "How Long" are my favorites with "Resound" being the best anthem-like track since Above and Beyond's "Good for Me". The version I bought on iTunes has 16 tracks and I'm not sure if Amazon is missing them or if this release doesn't include them. Find out first because the last two tracks, 15 and 16, are just as good with 16 already being on his State of Trance 2007 mix! Definitely get this album!
