Armin van Buuren - Precious

From the MP3 I've heard and the one on ASOT, I've figured I'd start this one. It has a very Aria - Dido (Armin's Universal Religion Mix) feel to it. Top qualtiy, definately a strong opening to anyones set. 8/10.

peace,

Steve

the classical part, is, again : AWESOME...no doubt!
BUT
the main melody is too simple I think. I don't really like it :/
DIDO is better imo, but this one is not that bad.

great track.. can be heard on latest ASOT episode..

nice track indeed, but I think DIDO is the benchmark of Armin's tracks, will be very hard to top !

I agree! he will never re make a TUNE like this! this one is a MASTERPIECE of trance music. If u disagree with me, so, explain to me! because this tune kills MILLIONS actual trance tunes.

now Armin is pretty crap.

NOnnonnonono...I never thought it was even close, as in greatness, to Aria-Dido, but certain sounds are very similar in this. Great tune, however.

Its the same 1 as on that CDR that was stolen and Armin told that they where all fake tracks So they werent

I believe he was imitating how Armin supporters will hype the track, in the second line.

Some1 nicked his CDR? Thats appauling. It's one thing to download some choons for a quick listen and (potentially) con the artist outta a couple of bucks, but nicking a whole CDR of choons is disgraceful. I'd feel so ashamed.

There just aren't the words...

Armin made a big mistake sacking his engineer so he could engineer his own stuff it really has lacked the same bite since but i'm sure over time he'll get better and he's still creating those great melodies for his tunes
