Why Armin Why? Why have you left trance? You have been domnating the trancesopunds during the past 5 years (according to my opinion) Which has made you my favourite DJ. But now you are getting worse and worse. The A State Of Trance compilations getting a little bit worse every year. I'll remeber those early Armin mixalbums like "Basic Instrinct" and "In Motion" That was TRANCE. This is pure crap. (there are a few exeptions that Gareth Emery Track is great and also Rush Hour) But those are OLD.

No!, Right now i will (as many others) go for Anjunabeats 5 and the Markus Schulz sound.

Ah well... trance is evolving... and boundaries of genres are fading away! I'm just really glad Armin didn't make another 'trancy' CD2 of last year's... That was way too much of the same. I like Armin's choice for more variety!

If anything people are bringing up the boundaries of genre's more than ever.

Anyone know where to download ASOT 300 part 2?
S-Torm.com has closed the data base until october.

I listened halfway through both CDs... the only track that made me want to vomit was "I Am". The rest of the album was rather emo though.

Best tracks were the DJ Shah track, Evergreen and Firefly.

The Blizzard - Kalposia
Chris Lake - Carry Me Away

The only tunes I enjoyed on CD1

i still enjoy the radio shows, but armin should stick to prog trance and epic trance

looking at this tracklist, he's playing more prog house / electro / house. there are how many djs who are better at these genres than armin?

anjunabeats 5 is better than this, this isn't even trance anymore. for a real trance mix cd, listen to j00f - unfold

Actually CD1 of Vol 5 has more house than this entire comp!

I think its a very trancy comp, I am definitely digging CD 1. CD 2 doesn't flow as well IMO, but overall the comp isn't 'horrible' like everyone is ranting.

what i meant by that was

disc 1 has some nice songs on it. but i think its really a stretch to call 'carry me away', 'light the skies', 'wouldn't change a thing' and songs like that trance, i enjoy them, but very poppish

whereas with anjunabeats 5, the housey stuff like the jaytech and boom jinx songs are still kind of trancey melodic prog house, sort of warming up to the faster songs.

After now knowing some more tunes from this double-CD; I think its more & more horrible. Still dont know the Tenishia & First State tunes, but apart from them I only like Chris Lake - Carry Me Away. Set some hope on Formentera What, but this tune is totally generic, absolutely horrible vocals & a shit guitar. Emery could do way better then this like 'Outrageous' shows.

Just got these CDs and personally I didn't like all but like 1 song, but that one song wasn't like drop dead amazing, just good. Cover was cool beans though
