Armin Van Buuren - Serenity (Dutch Sensation White 2005 Anthem)

I love it!

...but, it just seems like something is missing. Don't get me wrong, I've not yet got started with producing, so I couldn't do any better. And I LOVE the first part of the song up to and including the break. However, once it kicks back in, it seems like there's a certain energy missing to the song.

On that note, I realize that the Sensation Anthem is normally the last one played during the megamix, so I suppose maybe it does not have that energy for a reason...because, at the end of a set, one might choose to have a song that mellows out the vibe a little bit. But, even still, it seems like the song should have a little bit more structure to it.

However, it's highly likely that I will still go out and buy this record once it's released

It sounds like he listened to Adagio For Strings a few hundred times and then went out and made this.

For the first time ever I like the Black Anthem way more (produced by The Rush, the guys that made last years White Anthem). But nonetheless a fine anthem for such a party. But to be honest I'm looking way more forward to the "new style"Armin tunes that are supposed to be on his album.

Good tune for the purpose it was made for. I guess it will be performed live with Jan Vayne during White

I find it a crap tune and production.

Can't believe this comes from Armin. can't even believe that it is an Anthem.

I don't think it's bad at all... not my favourite track ever, but I prefer it to Adagio, to which so many people seem to be comparing this (and I can understand why). Still very curious about the Signum Remix

What is the name of the Sensation Black Anthem and where can I find a copy? I LOVED last years White Anthem by The Rush, and also their track "Baby Got To Fly"

and I too am interested in hearing the Signum Mix of the White Anthem (wasn't even aware they remixed it...)

It's def. Adagio-like but it's good in its own right methinks.

Well hearing this tune played by Armin @ NYE at Sublime - Horden Pavillion Sydney Australia sounded SUPERB in a large arena.

Can't believe I didn't realize that before. But, after reading your comments and listening to the song again, I can DEFINITELY see how one might conclude that Armin ripped off Tiesto (or, if you want to be more optimistic about it, was "inspired by" Tiesto).

Still like the tune though.
