Do you like Armin's new production: Sail?

I hope it is actually new.

Get the samples HERE

After listening to the sample I already know I will never be in love with this track. It's average. If someone else had produced this track nobody would have payed attention to it I think. Armin can produce better than this.

Well I heard it a long time ago, and... well, it's nothing special.


Posted by mrmonkey on Feb-27-2006 20:05:

cool track, i'd give it a 7/10


Posted by Spirit5 on Feb-27-2006 20:06:

It's better than "Serenity" or "Shivers" i'll give him that but I still think he's lost his touch with productions (same with Tiesto).

Quite like this one, apart from those awful strings he uses :S


Posted by TOR on Feb-27-2006 20:34:

i don't like it at all


Posted by AY STAR on Feb-27-2006 20:51:

i think its a good track
has alot of energy to it and i feel its alot better then that crap serentiy he made


Posted by keithos27 on Feb-27-2006 22:04:

it's okay... but damn 3.50 euro is a lot for a digital file...

i didnt care for shivers that much.
dont know why he named an album for it well after it appears on one of his mixes (i think.)
ill check this shit out when i get home.

blue fear was an amazing production though.

everything else since then has been either 'meh' or

but I did like his 24 Remix. good stuff

Well he was better 4 or 5 years ago then he is today....thats for sure..even 3 years ago he was pretty damn good.

"Sail" to me is like a good version of Serenity. It sounds very similar to Serenity, like the track Serenity could have been, but wasn't. But it's still not as great as it could be...

I see the direction he was going in with it..trance meets classical, but I don't think he quite has it right, the elements. They just don't fit together. Sure trance and classical have been and will be two genres that seem to mold very well together, but I don't see this as doing it in a great way, not quite like some of BT's old productions that I think were better in that respect.

+1, and the strings in sail are weird... kinda detuned FTL...


Armin could produce more stuff like his oldest Gaia or Rising Star aliases, but releasing something under "Falling" Star fits better...


Posted by Nayil on Feb-28-2006 00:20:

sounds like the tracks on Tiestos old school albums.


Posted by burtonlinx on Feb-28-2006 00:24:

people complain too much

It's decent. It's never going to be my favorite of any set though


Posted by Djshortcircuit on Feb-28-2006 20:34:

I like it, seems like a cool track, really kinda open air-y feel...


Posted by KeSs on Feb-28-2006 22:21:

6/10


Posted by daylightdancer on Feb-28-2006 23:08:

i like it actually,its not amazing but yeah i like it


Posted by Col on Feb-28-2006 23:20:

I didn't rate it at all when I first heard it, but hearing it in Godskitchen changed my mind completely, it blew the roof off.


Posted by JFernie on Mar-01-2006 00:25:

it was? i used to be/am an big armin fan but seriously, the production level on the original blue fear was not big. very simple track, it was never actually meant to be the big track. it was originaly written as a b-side to x marks the spot. cyber records decided that blue fear was going to be the bigger track. don't get me wrong, i love the track but an amazing production it is not.

Wow, what a beautiful song! I can't wait to listen to it high. I am not paying that kind of money though.
