Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Back behind the decks after 2003's self-produced 76, Armin Van Buuren's 2-disc A State of Trance 2004 jumps back into giant thumps and epic dance textures. 76 had a relatively soft touch, in tune with the DJ's often-stated admiration for the music of Jean-Michel Jarre, but this mix is peak-heavy, designed to leave a dance floor light-headed and dreamy. Set loose with a crate full of wax once again, he lets the high end do the work, then judiciously drops massive beats to rattle your sub-woofers. Disc 1's "Signs From The Universe" uses the strategy especially well, with a swarming keyboard build that gets swallowed by a dark, rumbling rhythm. Van Buuren goes velvety smooth on disc 2, but doesn't forget the need for contrast; "Totally Fascinated" is darkly subterranean in parts, yet balanced by the song's sensual keyboard lift. While there's nothing groundbreaking here by any means, Van Buuren's approach makes for perfect sunny day music before nightfall brings out the heavier, more sinister spinners. --Matthew Cooke

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of 2004, May 4, 2005
By Michael Mayhem (Greenville,SC) - See all my reviews
And...the award for the best trance album goes to ...Armin Van Buuren!...Incredible!This is without a doubt one of the best trance cd's to ever come out.This is one solid epic mix that flows perfectly together.This one will leave you in a tranced out state and carry your mind off into outerspace.Disc 1 is a little better than 2 in my opinion,so I give 1 a 5 star rating and 2,a 3 star.AVB is one of the world's greatest dj's and if you like this one,pick up "Universal Religion 04'"along with his latest "A State of Trance 05'" for it is essential to any trance or dance lover.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of a kind..., March 27, 2004
By Justin Parnell (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
Trance music is meant to be euphoric, chilling, emotional, upbeat and inspirational. Only mastered DJs can offer a perfect compilation or a live DJ set in the clubs - whether you want it hard, soft, or blended ... Armin van Buuren is no doubt an expert with trance. This album reflects who Armin van Buuren is as a producer, DJ, remixer, and a person in general. Anyone who has tuned into his radio show, 'State of Trance' on ID&T or seen him in a club, this CD is a perfect representation. Each tune perfectly compliments the other forcing you to go on an emotional roller coaster of sorts ... up and down. There are are plenty of euphoric trance tunes and beautiful chilled but warm trance productions. You will not find enormous trance anthems that are easily recognized by all electronica lovers in the world; however, each tune defines how trance is meant to be. However, some of the mixing from tune to tune is not perfect and there ought to be a few more powerful vocal tunes. Do not get me wrong, "Velvet Morning" and "Burned With Desire" are amazing tracks; although, a few more vocal tunes like "Holding onto Nothing" by Agnelli & Nelson or other great vocal tunes by Jan Johnston and others would fit so well and bump this CD to 5 or more stars.

However, if you are a fan of trance, Armin van Buuren or interested in a CD that provides both of best worlds - chilled and upbeat ... this one is one of a kind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quite possibly the best trance mix of all time, March 25, 2005
By Vigilante4x (Michigan) - See all my reviews
I'm not kidding when I say this CD will affect you emotionally. This CD is artistic, it is deep, it is melancholy, it is euphoric. It is angelic. This album has so many highlights that it makes Tara Reid's hair look real. "Naked Angel", "Escape (Phynn Rmx)", "Satellite (A&B Rmx)", "Sahara", and "Rise" are the best representatives of the Epic Trance genre. This CD will change your life. It is a must have for any prospective DJ, fan of the genre, or anyone with a lost love...or anyone with a love, for that matter.
