Advantages: packed full of hits, some lesser known, as well as a CD of new anthems in the making Disadvantages: Heard them all before? Possibly! But we still love them
new to trance, some may be, or if you are looking for a walk down memory lane and haven't bought one of these albums in a few years you may just enjoy what Dave has blended together. The albums saving grace is CD 3 which does have a more up-to-date selection of club tracks for your aural enjoyment.
So how does it breakdown? As i've said briefly, CD's 1 and 2 are made up of staple classic tracks from seminal tranceartists such as Matt Darey, Chicane, Angelli & Nelson, Paul Van Dyk, Faithless, the list goes on! CD 3 brings us bang into 2009, or well more technically some of the tracks that were big towards the latter end of 2008. It would be unfair to judge this CD on the lack of real upfront 2009 tracks, having only been released 3 months into a new year.
For me personally, out of the 2 classic CD's, the second has to take all ...
Advantages: Great new styles, not afraid of trying new trance techniques, good lengthed songs Disadvantages: Not many well known songs remixed, lyrics are always the chorus of the song repeated
This album shows just how much Armin is capable of. A State of Trance 2007 features 28 long trance tracks, ranging from 2 minutes to 8 minutes (Most around 6) that flow into eachother. Armin has used various techniques that other trance music creators have not tried yet, such as bit-crunching, and has achieved the desired effect. I have really enjoyed this album, and have listened to it for 3 months now, without being bored of it. One of my favourite aspects of this album is the use of drums, he has used different samples to make his music provide the 'rushing' feeling to it's listener that most tranceartists cannot achieve. This album is well worth it's price, as it has over 1 and a half hours of tracks inside, that you will not get bored of. There are a few original songs by Armin in this CD, but most are tracks from other people that ...
Advantages: Classic tracks, no fillers Disadvantages: Adagio for Strings is missing!
to the final disc (okay that may have just been me...I'm not as young as I was!)
And so to disc three - thankfully more of a chilled out vibe here as the melodies lengthen and the beats become less frantic. Olive's You're Not Alone heads the cool-down, with Solar Stone's Seven Cities shining through (another of my all-time faves), Chicane's Saltwater and Art Of Trance's Madagascar coming close behind, and Sluslik Luna's Sun ending over a decade's worth of the finest dance anthems I've ever seen on one collection.
My thoughts in a second, for those that are interested here are the track listings in full;
Disc: 1
1. Born Slippy - Underworld (1)
2. What Ya Got 4 Me - Signum
3. Kernkraft 400 - Zombie Nation
4. Time To Burn - Storm (4)
5. Warrior - Warrior (4)
6. Drill - Dirt Devils
7. Fire Wire - Cosmic Gate
8 ...
