Imagine Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Armin has done it again. If your are expecting a crazy, uptempo, and hardcore trance CD, you won't find it on this CD by Armin. Altough this CD still has some amazing non-vocal upbeat trance in the first and last track, the rest of the CD is vocal trance. And it is simply amazing. It is one of those CDs you do not have to change tracks or fastforward, just let it play. Armin shows his briliance and versatility on this CD and he proves why he is the #1 DJ and producer in the world.

Armin Van Buuren: Armin Only - Imagine (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Ahoy 2007 DVD was by far one of the best trance home-productions ever made by any DJ or Electronic Recordhouse (even surpassing Tiësto's earlier works...which, in my opinion, have been superb). However, this 2-Disc set is absolutely perfect. It's just as good as what one expects from Armin's work, and may I dare say it's even better. The lights, the sound, the invited artists and Live performances, the production development...AMAZING.
The tracklist is available anywhere around the internet; a simple google search could get you the 31 tracks with title and artist name. Speaking of which, the selection is "The Works". You get a bit of the classic Armin [Shivers (although it's a new amazing remix by Alex M.O.R.P.H.), Rush Hour, Burned with Desire, Zocalo, and Sail...among some others] amazingly mixed and incorporated into Armin's new beats (Hold on to Me, Going Wrong, Imagine, etc...). Van Buuren also features some great new and complementary talent that goes perfectly along with the rest of his work. You'll be rocked by every face you've come to appreciate from Armin: Vocal-Trance, House-Trance, House, Progressive-House, Progressive-Trance...yeah, it's a perfect swirl of Trance and House.
The first disc is obviously the main presentation. Disc #2 is more of a Bonus CD. You get access to a very well prepared Behind the Scenes of Armin 2008, Music Videos, Deleted Scenes and Videos, and photos.
Armin fans, DJs, trance-heads, electronica genre admirers, or anyone who's just started building up their taste for delightful yet euphoric Electronic music, this is a MUST HAVE production. You'll have your headphones on for a while, as well as your stereo. Great play-on for a night or house party.
Long Live Armin.

In Search of Sunrise 7 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Upon hearing through Tiesto's website that this would be a more progressive album than his previous ISOS releases, I jumped on it. I have to admit that while listening to the First CD, it didn't sound very progressive at all. More like his "signature" house music with a chill, calm and relaxed theme to it. The sound we have come to expect from his ISOS compilations. While I did enjoy the first disc, the concept remained the same and I was left asking myself "Where is the difference?" As an artist I think sometimes you get caught up in a groove or in a rut (whether good or bad) and sometimes you just have to break away from that to keep your listeners on the edge, keep them guessing what's next, or just simply give them an element of surprise.
Im just going to say right out that Disc 2 is the BEST mix compilation I have ever heard from Tiesto hands down! You want progressive Trance? This is it! Its the Tranciest album he has put out in his ISOS series by far, no comparison. Whereas Disc 1 has lots of Vocals, Disc 2 has none! Its all Beats, rhythms, melodies and extremely uplifting tracks. You'll have goose bumps galore listening to this. The BPM's are between 135-138 just to give you an idea. I agree that besides the great track selection on the disc, the arrangement is absolutely flawless! Everything fits in perfectly and each track builds and compliments the next one thanks to his flawless mixing. I kid you not. I have every disc this guy has put out dating back to his unreleased 5 album forbidden paradise series as well as his ISOS 6 (London, yes London) bootleg. I think this is his crowning achievement. I have no doubt you will feel the same. After his Magik series people were left wondering if he'd every come back to playing Trance. People were asking where that sound had gone. If you read the Magik 6 reviews you will see this to be true. Tiesto has finally come back to Trance on Disc 2 and after a week of having the album I have only heard disc 1 once, thats how good disc 2 is. This is pure genius. The Intro is chilling and everything literally builds on after that. This is what Trance music is really all about. Im excited for everyone who has yet to purchase or listen to this album. I wont go into the specifics of each track since someone already did a good job of that but be sure that any serious Tiesto fan, especially those dating back to his Magik days will surely be thrilled.

Double CD set from Tiesto in 2008 with his album, In Search of Sunrise 7. On this outing Tiesto takes us to the Far East.ISOS 7 was completely mixed and recorded in Thailand. The first disc expresses the beauty of Asia, whereas the second one offers an energetic view on how trance goes down when it is played with an Asian flair. The track list reveals the genuine style of Ti‰sto put together in the In Search Of Sunrise 7 Asia. The concept driven DJ mix series I.S.O.S. looks to explore the unique sounds of a specific geographic region with past stops in Ibiza, Lation America and LA. Tiesto has spent over two decades in the electronic music world and he is recognized as the 'World's Number One DJ'. Many top artists call on Tiesto for his vision in remixing their tracks as he
