A State of Trance 2008

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: Armin van Buuren

October 07, 2008
Is it possible to start a whole new religion based on an audio cd? If so, this is the strongest contender to make it happen. Wonderful whispy female vocals, captivating synths. It is hard to ignore mr Van Buuren after this release. Not recommended for highway use! It will actually put you in a trance! Buy and enjoy. You can thank me later, at mass.

In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 7: Asia

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: DJ Tiësto

June 10, 2008
I bought a couple of Tiesto's In search of sunrise discs (disc 3 and 4) and I didn't really like them. I didn't think Tiesto was a great DJ. I decided to give him another try and bought Elements of Life and Loved it and I bought many of his other CD's after that. I then decided to give ISOS one more shot and I bought the Aisa disc set and I was blown away. This is truly an amazing work.
The first disc is slower with lost of vocal (which I love) and the second Disc is much more up beat and has an epic trance feel.
I would highly recommend this album to anyone that loves Tiesto!!

Play

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: Moby

June 01, 1999
Just bought this CD a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed listening to it because there's something different about these music compared to contemporary ones. Although obviously they are very modern, you can say Moby's technique of utilizing notes harks back to medieval times. The prolongation of some notes (which are hypnotizing) resembles those of the chants used in religious services. The transitions can be compared to majority of the classical/baroque music. And who could miss the vocals that resemble arias?

Invol2ver

by: Sasha

Just to prove that I have nothing against Sasha, I continue buying and listening to his music, good or bad. And I do so hoping (for a very long time now) that Sasha will be resurrected from his self inflicted wounds that lead to his musical demise as I have stated before in another review. I mean, he is an icon whether we like it or not. But it just hurts (at least for me) all that more every time this legend's downfall is substantiated. I mean The EmFire Collection got absolutely nowhere and now we have Invol2ver in our hands, with fond memories of the old involver, and a big letdown.

The work:
What's with all the other reviews of "more of the same", "just like the first one" & "as good as the first one" really mean? I honestly don't ... Read More:

Sirens of the Sea

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: OceanLab

August 05, 2008
A good cd, worth 4 stars. I like the main singer, she has a great, alluring voice.

I usually like to have atleast one "go to" track on a CD. Here, there are no truly stand out songs. They all really blend toghether as one whole experience. That's good and bad in some ways. I think for a rock CD that isn't the way to go, but electronica such as this it's forgiveable because I'm more likely to take it all in as a whole.

Even with that being said they do have some nice tracks. 'If I could FLy' is a nice track, along with breaking ties. They just don't have that extra something that they need to really stand out on there own.

That being said Im not dissappointed I made a purchase. If you like this type of music you'll surely ... Read More:

Imagine

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: Armin van Buuren

May 06, 2008
Bland, generic, cheesy, and uninspired music. All songs are the same, they start with looong intros, then a female vocal shows up, and then a "climax keyboard" that you have probably heard something similar before.

Some decent stuff mixed in with some tinny pop crap. What I will keep on the iPod wasn't worth what i paid.

Armin Only: Imagine

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
starring: Armin van Buuren

August 19, 2008
An amazing DVD that captures the Armin Only event in the best possible way through video. If like me you couldn't make it to the event, this is the next best thing. Track selection and mixing is awesome as always by Armin plus the lights, lasers and sound of the crowd going nuts all make the DVD a special audio-visual experience for trance lovers. Buy it NOW !

Cream Ibiza

Childrens Toy Shop > Music > Trance
by: Paul van Dyk

June 24, 2008
PVD has done it again - Cream is a definining piece of work in that he's intentionally separated his album into two - disc 1 vectors with his recent re-embrace of the house scene while at once reminding his fans that, in disc 2, he's not about to lose his edge on the progressive trance front. This is great for tranceheads like myself, offering me a house alternative that I would otherwise not have entertained on my own. PVD needs to come back to LA before the year ends - Montser Massive did't count - I missed it. :(
