5 Armin Van Buuren - A State of Trance Episode 164 / 2 SEP 04

I've purchased this album and here's my $0.02.
First off, I'd like to get the fact out of the way that this is the best album i have heard in a long long time...

IMO, Both of the CDs start off VERRY good, i love the basslines, wow. Someone said that the mixing isn't good? I can barely notice a transition between tracks. Phenomenol mixing.

I also liked how i didn't really know too many of the tracks, kept me interested.

Fave tracks of mine are from : FortDax, PQM, Hermann & Klein, Jase From Outta Space feat. Clair, The MFA, Meta.83, Jake Fairly (!!), Nathan Fake, .... Well, that's CD1, so fuck, i'm not about to name every track, CD2's best tracks are the first 5, along with epsilon 9 and gill norris.

All together by Petter = Its the best song on the first cd..

Just picked up a copy and got a good deal on it! Since Virgin never had it stock I had to make a special request for it to be delivered just for me for no extra charge. I am assuming it had been shipped from Australia (I am in Canada), anyway I am happy I got the original CD after so long for only 25 CAD dollars!! This CD will always remain in my CD changer, it's incredibly unique and rare.

sorry to dig this thread out - but this mix album is just so amazing! i've been listening since i got it last year at least 2 to 3 times a week constantly...and it just doesn't get boring!

í think this comp will be a real classic in 2,3 years! for me it plays in the same league as GU13 and MMII

Why must I walk this wicked path?

I listened to CD1 when I was in the train. I was litterally teleported to another world,was dreaming... I've never felt like that. It's a greaaaat cd ( especially Hermann & Kleine - Leaving you behind (Without knowing where to go ) )

Holy crack! Just heard this CD for the first time. Wow. WOW.

Especially tracks 4-8 on CD1. Killer grooves, bass line, electro sounds. Anyone got any suggestions for similarly badass mixes/songs? What style of trance would you call that particular segment anyway?

Everything from Border Community!

Its impossible to stylize stuff from these guys

I'd say most of it is closer to tech-house than anything. Melodic progressive tech house. CD 1 is really really good. CD 2 is really good as well, but not as good as the first.

The way it works is that if you know the songs pretty well, you can tell where the new songs are mixed in with little difficulty. However, it still sounds nice, and every song is so damn good and so perfect to follow the last that any technical mixing aspects are forgivable. This is probably my favorite mixed album.

Playing it again. By far, cd1 is about the best thing I've ever heard. Bumping this again for my excitement of seeing him on the 1st of March. Point taken he doesn't spin stuff like this much any more, I still like the tracks he's making and playing these days.
