Advantages: armin, trance tracks, nice range of memories
Disadvantages: doesnt do ASOT justic

As a ture ASOT & armin van buuren fan of course this was on my purchase list. ASOT radio shows tend to be the main highlight of my weeks and i am a frequent listener seeing some of the top tunes of the year on the cd was pleasing however, i wouldn't go crazy to get my hands on this better off listening to armin weekly! the cd has definatly missed some of the best tracks from later on in 2007 but this is nicely packed with good tunes from the early ...

Advantages: Great psy trance album, not repetitive
Disadvantages: won't appeal to hardcore spy trance fans

...just not up to usually IM standard. IM have released their new album Infected Mushroom - The supervisor, which is, I am happy to say a vast improvement over the last. The supervisor - Mediocre track, probably the weakest track on the album, this more of a commercial psytrance track than anything else. This track would be at home at a festival or similar event. Ratio Shmatio: amazing song, good build with a climax just like in the first IM songs ...
...track IM have incorporated Michele Adamson's voice into it and have mixed her singing into the track superbly. Meduzz: This track moves off in to the more orchestral direction and is lot darker than most of the other tracks. The machine sounds in the track also add good character to this track Cities of the future: I really like this track most people don't because Duvdey sings in it . Such a good beat in this track and one of thr craziest tracks ... Read review

Advantages: Lovely, timeless electronic folk that is just... lovely, really
Disadvantages: Nothing to grab you musically; quiet and isolated; I'm being pretentious

...harmonising off into the night. Verses of Comfort, Assurance and Salvation may sound like the sort of crappy Christian music that God probably hates himself (He only likes the Christmas carols, I'm told) but in reality turns out to be more about charming, whimsical off-pop than anything else. What's off-pop? It's not pop in the sense you know it. Off-pop is music which sounds like it could be pop, if only it had the right sort of punchy beat behind ...
...to become a pop classic if only the band had put in huge basslines and snappy rhythms, but instead they've gone for a more folky approach, and it pays off in the long run. The music if offbeat but enjoyable, in a hazy sort of way. Nothing much stands out apart from 'The Disco Song', but everything is nothing if not accomplished and breezily pleasant. Don't go expecting large hooks to come flailing out and get you fascinated in the music; you're ... Read review

Advantages: Massive Tunes, Cheap, 38 tracks
Disadvantages: Lots of MCing

Dubstep Allstars Vol.5 is the fifth album in the series of mixes showcasing the talents of the UK's most rapidly evolving and contagious genre. For those unfamiliar with Dubstep, it is a genre that has emerged in the past decade or so, but has begun to pick up speed in the last two or three years. It is a carefully crafted mix of heavy sub-basses, reggae, jazz, and other electronic subgenres such as Drum 'n' Bass and Techno. Perhaps its most distinctive ...

Advantages: great music
Disadvantages: i haven't found any

...wide taste in music, and this slotted in perfectly, with all the upbeat music one after another, I couldn't keep still, I had to get up and dance - even though i looked a bit silly dancing around my bedroom, but who cares. So plug in your ipod to the speakers and turn it up because you are in for a night of dancing and great music. I recommend this to anyone who is up for a bit of a boogie, don't bash it until you try it, it's great. ... Read review
