looking forward to hear it. Can't get enough of Zocalo.

yea... i dont really like this with the exception of a few tracks. Wall of Sound, Zocalo, and Who Is Watching were my favorites.

After listening to the samples linked to a few pages back and hearing a couple of the other tunes in various sets I managed to listen to, I'll say that it's no surprise that I'm disappointed. I also have to ask Armin, didn't you say that it was supposed to be different from 76?

That 16 days ago track feat Gabriel & Dresden I thought simply disappeared or no else didn't know about. More than a year ago I chatted with Josh Gabriel in a club and he told me that they wrote a track with Armin ever since I've never heard anything about it and now only glad to see it appear on the album :))

I really like the title of that track, Really nice. One of the best titles on this album for sure.

Empty State,Serenity,Shivers we listened them many times in ASOT. Others r not my taste. Boundaries of Imagination is the best ever!

VERY nice album! I think most of the people who dont like it, have to learn to listen this kinda music, it isnt the ty trance what is made by 213231231341313131 ty trance producers. (except for serenity and shivers). I like the new sound.

ah comon, open your ears :)
Control Freak sounds 2001, Serenity is bullcrap, Who Is Watching is production wise very poor -the voice of Nadia is the only thing that makes the track good-, Wall Of Sounds sounds exactly like BWD or NWT on 76, Shivers is a cheap commercial CASH-€$-IN track.

Bounce Back and Golddigger are decent productions (untho i dont like the tracks), but are a total ripoff from Tiesto tracks.
Bounce Back sounds like Obsession, Golddigger sounds like UR.

Zocalo is really '2005', its a good track (but hey, everything thats getting touched by G&D transforms in pure gold these days).

Empty State sounds ok, Gypsy could have been on 76 too.


I'm glad tho, that some tracks dont sound like the stuff Armin made for the last few years. Maybe he found some new sample cd's :)


------------------------------------------------

BUT now my real point:

WHY is this cd almost an exact copy of Tiesto's Album 'Just Be'?!?!:

Both 10 tracks -the hidden 'track' on armin's cd excluded
- track 1: is a buildup, starting slow ending 'hard' (Wall Of Sound vs Forever Today)
- track 2: both tracks have a nice tempo and male vocalist (Empty State vs Love Comes Again)
- track 3: the big hits (Shivers vs Traffic)
- track 4: have the same style, slow track with vox (Golddigger vs Sweet Misery)
- track 5: both trance tracks (ZoCalo vs Nyana)
- track 6: both slow tracks, with male vox (Gypsy vs Ur)
- track 7: slow tracks again, with female vox (Who Is Watching vs Walking On Clouds)
- track 8: non vox vs vox, not really the same (Bounce Back vs Tear In The Open)
- track 9: non vox vs vox again, but both with about the same tempo (Control Freak vs Just Be)
- track 10: both trance anthems: TiC vs Sensation and both made with the help of some piano guru. (Serenity vs Adagio For Strings).

- Almost the same cover:
both covers are black and white, except for the text. On both covers are their faces but only the half of it.

- for both is it their 2nd artist album

- Shivers and Just Be are the titles of the album and the title of a track ON the album

Those arguments won me over :eek:
