Armin Van Buuren – A State Of Trance 2007 (2CD)
No, this release needs absolutely no introduction. You either heard about Armin van Buuren and then there’s no need to convince you into downloading, or you don’t like trance at all and can skip this without longer thinking. I’ll choose the first option. 
Enjoy this awesome music 2 months before the street date!
The 2007 entry in Armin Van Buuren’s State of Trance series takes awhile to get going, but eventually kicks in with the blissful epics that have made him one of the world’s most popular DJs. On mix records, Van Buuren usually expresses the two sides of his DJ personality via the two-disc format; disc one is filled with frothy vocal trance, the other is populated with more progressive material. SoT 2007 stays true to form. This time out though, there’s an obvious disparity in quality between the two. Van Buuren goes downright cheesy for his lighter disc one (called “on the beach”), and with a few fleeting exceptions like Kalopsia’s “The Blizzard,” it’s pretty forgettable.
However, the second, more progressive disc (”in the club”) improves noticeably as AVB leads off with two self-produced bombs “Miserere” and “Rush Hour.” It still has a high cheese level to be sure, but its excesses are cut with relative dark matter like the lovely mashup in the middle of the disc, consisting primarily of Reh Mundi’s “Perspective” and Ronski Speed’s “The Space We Are.” As with contemporaries like DJ Tiësto, Van Buuren seems to believe he needs to be all things to all people, but his more commercial instincts are too pronounced here, leaving his more devoted fan base with only half a mix to enjoy.

this nuke is bullshit. TGX’s release was
VA-A_State_Of_Trance_2007__Mixed_By_Armin_Van_Buuren-2CD-2007-TGX
and it contained a completely different set of tracks
SweeT ty:D listning to sensation black mix weeeeee. I have to go back ther
One of the best trance compilations I’ve heard. Thx Martin.
wow, this came out last yaer….. this is old. and no it is the same set of tracks. Right now should be asot 2008 not 2007
Enjoy this awesome music 2 months before the street date!
maybe about 10 months after….
this album has been all over the pirate bay amongst others for over half a year.
@4
Did you even check the tracklisting? the two releases are identical:
http://pwnt.pastebin.com/f15477a86
this album is so cheesy, only the rat from the pixar film would like it
Old.
old as my grandma with her dinosaur pet
wiki says this has been out since may 2007. i’m confused
Old, but really great! Highly recommended to anyone interested in trance or electronica in general.
Cheers!
I’ve had the luck to see armin van buuren on Sensation White Chile. In one word, magical.
Just a shame Trance died years ago. Armin is a f*#king queer, not to mention being an absolutely terrible producer – thats why he pays someone else to do it or collabs with someone who will do the work for him. Hes a totall nub in that respect. I hope he dies soon.
anybody have rapidshare link?
Martin – Why are you posting an OLD album that was released last year????
You should stick with your “tech” news updates.
People are weird , if you don’t like something leave it alone . There must be alot of children that are on here . Armin , Corsten and Tiesto have put trance on the map . Armin is one of the hardest workers out there and was voted #1 dj for a reason
Woop woop.. finally some decent music on the log
Cheers
This man is genius.
“electronica”, hehe – a made-up word beloved of americans who like to stick all electronic and dance music into one little category.
Arbmand van buurito? oh dear, cheezy commercial naffness of the highest order. The only trance worth listening to is psytrance, and full-on psy has become a parody; just as cheezy as stuff like this.
Me want armin!!! rs links or die
for gods sake , THIS IS AT LEAST A YEAR OLD RLS .. if you want people to get into trance maybe you should post :
Trance Energy 2008-2CD-2008-KTMP3
or
Trance The Ultimate Collection 2008 Vol 1-2CD-2008-KTMP3
i like armin, seen him live thrice ( yes i prefer to used thrice in stead of 3, got a problem with that…HUH DO YOU?)
Wooho, thx! =) This radioshow roxx.
any rapidshare links?
he’s an incredibly talented DJ.. Too bad he never plays in the where I live in the USA except for Ultra Beach Music Fest where I debuted and was mistaken for another exceptional DJ lol.
OOPS, trance, not trave………..
It’s the same as VA-A_State_Of_Trance_2007__Mixed_By_Armin_Van_Buuren-2CD-2007-TGX which got out almost a year ago (337 days)
@ 34 – Yes Spartacus – That’s b/c Martin seems to think that this is a “new scene release”
LOLz @ the poser posting this hot NEW stuff!
hahahahahaha
Not only is this old, but it was posted on RLSLOG a year ago too!!!!!!!
http://www.rlslog.net/a-state-of-trance-2007-armin-van-buuren-2007/

Enjoy it! The best TRANCE around, only with Armin Van Buuren
You guys should stfu! Armin is a great Dj, and he is one of the best in trance music (with some others like PvD). His radioshow, ASOT, is also pretty good and there is no doubt he will keep producing nice music

Corto, that stuff you linked isn’t “real” trance, it’s psytrance which came after the euphoric-trance played by the likes of buuren. It’s the more western version of goa-trance. goa is great, as is dark-psy.
anon, lol carl cox real techno? carl cox plays cheezy gabba and house – even in the late 80’s when he was playing acid-house he still went for the more commercial stuff.
nice rls, 10 months late. stop posting
@23
you don’t have a clue to what electronica is, do you?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronica
Hey anyone know where i can get a compilation of some old school techno songs such as Modjo – Lady, Tiesto – Love Comes again, 4 Strings – Take me Away etc… ??
Likin this album so far, I dunno how he stacks up to Tiesto though..
@MelC: Electronica is a blanket term for it in America. Guys he’s right. I’m an ex promoter and DJ and guess what.. America’s radio stations are controlled by a few people that feed you guys crap. In europe they listen to good music like DnB, Techno(the real techno not the blanket term noobs use), Trance, Progressive(which is what most americans think trance is), etc.
56: Tiesto may be the most popular but certainly not the most talented. I believe he’s more overrated than Paul Fukenold.
haha… paul fukenold
I think you just made a big mistake Martin. There is a new cd coming out April 22nd by Van Buuren, but it’s called Imagine. Here is the link.

Oh and for all of you saying people don’t know different types of electronic music in the US are wrong. I have a ton of friends that are all DNB DJ’s. Odi, J Smooth, to name a few. And they would kill someone for putting them in the same category with Trance and crap like that. We have all the same breakdowns as you guys over in Europe. Hardcore, Trance, DNB or Jungle, and Breakbeats. We don’t just classify everything under Electronica like you think. That’s just something the record stores do to put them in there own area but mixed up. And club classifies itself by one of the above, not all of the above… So that’s just ignorant comments of people who have obvously never spent a weekend partying in the NYC…
John, you can clearly see on this thread that many americans DO classify everything under electronica (hey it’s ok, most of the world classes anything guitar based as rock). You and your friends don’t, and that’s cool but you have to realise you are in the minority. In europe and asia it’s the other way round – people call music by whatever genre it is and you would never hear the term “electronica” over there.
You merkins got any grime/dubstep yet? ;p
I NEED A UNMIXED
