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. --Matthew Cooke

Album Description

Van Buuren is one of the biggest names in dance music and the current #3 DJ in the world (as voted by a DJ Mag poll). He continually pushes the bar with fresh trance sounds. This is the next chapter in his annual mix album series; a two-disc continuous mix of this year's hottest trance tunes from a stellar lineup. Alongside Armin's superior mixing skills, "A State Of Trance" is an inspiring and uplifting aural experience.

5 out of 5 stars Fantastic.......2007-07-25

I am somewhat newer to trance and am still getting accustomed to the lingo.

I read some of the other reviews before I listened to the album. I agree that disc one, "On the Beach", is much more of a mellow trance; and of course, the name of the disc implies this. Most of the tracks are excellent--I just have to be in a certain mood to enjoy this time of trance.

I absolutely loved the second disc, "In the Club". The tracks are out of this world! I was listening to it during my boring commute and was loving it. Track 12 flipped on, and all of a sudden, the whole album just seemed a hundred times better to me. Tracks 12 through 16 make up my personal favorite trance mix I've ever been exposed to out of all of my favorite DJ's--Tiesto, Buuren, PVD, and Micro. This made me feel 100% secure in giving the entire album five stars!

3 out of 5 stars Not as good as the previous state's of trance.......2007-07-22

The '05 and '06's were much better than this record, which is pretty good, but not nearly as good as his previous work in this series.

5 out of 5 stars Just buy it now!.......2007-07-20

I have been an ardent Armin fan for years. ASOT 2007....brilliant work. I saw Armin live a few weeks before I got this. The track "firefly" will always take me back to his performance. The crowd was chanting ARMIN ARMIN ARMIN as he had a huge beaming smile on his face. And I got his autograph. So I am in love with him for sure!

On a serious note, I have listened to this set a zillion times. You will want to also if you buy this. Love it.

5 out of 5 stars Armin at his best!!.......2007-07-20

I feel compelled to add this paragraph to my original review, for we have a troll (who obviously hates Armin Van Buuren) going through these reviews and saying that they are not helpful. You will notice that 8 negative votes were given to many of the reviews. Do not for one minute pay any attention to those negative votes (I believe one person is casting these votes), for "A State of Trance 2007" is everything the positive reviewers are saying it is.

I wholeheartedly agree with the majority of my fellow-reviewers who stated that this is Armin's best release yet. "A State of Trance 2006" was also very good, but Armin outdid himself this time.

I won't repeat the comments of former reviews, but I would add that I was surprised that no one referred (when pointing out their favorite tracks) to the amazing club hit "I Am" by Markus Schulz vs. Chakaa. I found it to be absolutely phenomenal and IMHO that track, not "Evergreen," marks the transition between the first and second half of CD2.

There was one track on CD1 that I didn't care for ("Wouldn't Change a Thing"); the vocals just didn't appeal to me. And on CD2 I considered tracks 6 & 7 ("Perspective" & "The Space We Are") to be fillers. Am I complaining? Far from it, for the other 25 tracks were sweet to the ear and will bring any trance fan (especially those who love vocal, melodic, and high energy trance) to a state of audio nirvana.

I believe this is, by far, the best 2 CD set released this year. But I have ordered the much-anticipated "Nightmusic, Vol. 2" by Thrillseekers, and if that release equals or surpasses Nightmusic, Vol. 1, it will give Armin some tough competition.

2 out of 5 stars Very disappointed..........2007-07-19

I read the reviews before buying and all of them said this was the best trance cd of 2007. Ha! Not really! I downloaded the tracks immediatley to my ipod. When I played the tracks there was of course a break in between the songs so I didn't think there was a big deal when the next song sounded different. Then I played the cd on my stereo without the pause in between tracks and noticed that it sounded the same. "What the hell is going on?" I thought. I'll tell you. The mixing sucks! It's too fast and lasts about 10-15 seconds. Then the next song starts like it's a brand new song without the slight sound of the previous song. This is poor mixing in my opinion for the #3 DJ in the world! For a mix CD to be the best there has to be some mixing. Check out In Search of Sunrise Vol 5 by DJ Tiesto and you will see what I mean. Also the tracks aren't that great. I tend to go for the high energy uplifitng trance. This is just background trance and I hardly get motivated when working out to this. If you want a good mix trance CD, check out DJ Tiesto and ATB. They seem to be the best at mixing songs like a true DJ should!

Amazon.com

Tiësto sticks to his guns on a new album of original compositions that follows 2004's Just Be. Elements of Life strikes a satisfying balance between inventive vocal tracks and signature trance stormers: "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise," "Driving to Heaven," and "Bright Morning Star" all glow with the Dutchman's epic sound, one that is simultaneously haunting and uplifting. On the vocal side, the soaring energy of "Break My Fall," which features BT on vocals, will not disappoint fans of the duo's prior work on "Just Be" and other collaborations. To be sure, there are a number of less convincing pieces as well: "Dance4Life" with Faithless's Maxi Jazz falls flat, and the lyrics of "Can You Feel Me" prove that the genre's reputation for banal wordsmithing is not entirely undeserved. For the most part, however, these weaker moments are outweighed by the stronger tracks. Principal among these is undoubtedly "Sweet Things"--in which Charlotte Martin's vocal high-wire act is complemented by some exceptional programming--a track that is sure to receive a great many spins by DJs around the globe and yet further proof that when it comes to bringing alive the female voice for the dancefloor, Tiësto remains without equal. All in all, it's a safe bet that many of Tiësto's Elements will be making their way into DJ crates and MP3 players alike. --Brent Kallmer

Album Description

Tiësto is undeniably one of the greatest DJ talents of this era. Internationally recognized as the world's premier DJ and producer, Tiësto continually takes electronic music to the next level - pushing boundaries with his addictive and creative trance creations. With his prior album releases enjoying outstanding success in the States, the time has come for his next installment: ELEMENTS OF LIFE. This record includes brilliant collaborations from the likes of BT, Maxi Jazz (Faithless) and other incredible female vocalists; a stunning collection of uplifting trance ensues. Supporting this release with performances at Coachella, WMC and an extensive national tour through Summer 07, Elements of Life will be THE electronic album of 2007.

5 out of 5 stars This is what I call Trance! .......2007-07-29

Dont listen to the bad reviews, theyre not right. Elements of Life is a wonderful record, full of energy, high beats, electro sounds and very beautiful vocals. The singles DANCE4LIFE, IN THE DARK & BREAK MY FALL are amazing. The remixes to those singles are incredible as well. the vocals on BREAK MY FALL are BTs, same guy who sang on LOVE COMES AGAIN. The vocal tracks SWEET THINGS & EVERYTHING are great tracks as well. TEN SECONDS BEFORE SUNRISE is a great starter to the the album and CARPE NOCTUM is TRAFFIC part 2. ELEMENTS OF LIFE is a great track to finish off the album as well. When I first downloaded this album I thought it wasnt as good as past Tiesto records but when I decided to give it a chance and actually started to listen to the whole album I loved it and ran to my local record store and bought it right away. Now its part of my work out, its always on my ipod and always in my car. Totally love it, go for it and enjoy! Cant wait to see Tiesto live with his Elements of Life tour!

1 out of 5 stars Tiesto Gives us yet another reason to hate him!!.......2007-07-26

TIESTO, THE IDIOT, THE FOOL, THE ONE WHO POISONS THE NAME OF TRANCE. I FEEL SORRY FOR HIM FOR SUCKING SO MUCH. WHY CAN'T HE JUST DIE IN AN AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT OR GET CANCER- THAT WAY ATLEAST WE WOULD NOT HEAR FROM HIM AGAIN. HE SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR GIVING TRANCE AN UNDESERVED REPUTATION. if you want some fine music buy asot 2006, DEEP TRANCE by water music records or george acosta "lost world" their are many more but there are three good cd's right there.

2 out of 5 stars old tiesto.......2007-07-18

I am kinda disappointed in this cd I like the old tiesto way better than this stuff. Hopefully his next cd rocks.

5 out of 5 stars Tiësto is Tiësto.......2007-07-11

After Just Be, I didn't have too high expectations of this album, even though I did like Just Be. This album doesn't have slow tracks, the vocal performances are just great. All songs fit his style and a couple of them may remind you his first hits.

I love the CD, but the DVD comes only with the tour video, not the music video (it says it includes a video in the box).

Overall, a nice, smooth, energetic mix by my favorite DJ.

2 out of 5 stars Blah.......2007-07-20

I was disappointed with this album. It is more techy and less melodic and trancey as Passport to the Netherlands and Right of Way. Plus I had already heard more interesting versions of the same tracks elsewhere before I got this. I have faith in Ferry and I think he'll surprise us with another great release in the future. Just not this release...

3 out of 5 stars Ferry Corsten - Passport to the USA.......2007-06-28

Let me say that Ferry Corsten's newest release "Passport to the United States of America" is Good, but it just didn't really blow me away. I thought his Passport Netherlands was stronger.

Passport USA is solid but never really reaches epic trance status. It gets in the ballpark, but never really made me go "wow" for any extended period of time. Plus you're paying quite a bit of money for only one disc of music. I could do without the DVD if the album cost less.

There are TONS of other trance/ dance/ electronica discs out there. I would skip this and get Armin van Buuren's "A State of Trance 2007" instead.

5 out of 5 stars One of Ferry's Best.......2007-06-25

Certainly a great mix. Although it's unfortunately only 1 disk, Ferry still delivers a well balanced collection of the recently popular electro-sounding progressive trance in addition to the high pumping synth lines that Corsten does best.

Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Make room in your collection!.......2004-07-23

Time of Our Lives (TOOL) is a fresh new track by PVD and Vega 4. It's not rock, it's not trance, it is totally something new and fresh. Even though rock fans would only enjoy one track from this CD (radio edit), it still a great buy. Then there is the traditional club mix from pvd where every electronic music fan would enjoy. One downside is the lyrics (Time for |this|, time for |that|, repeat, Time of our lives...).

The "b" side to this is a track done by pvd, "Connected". Featured on the motorola commercial, it was a hit! A very nice melody to it.

Buy it now, you won't regret it.

5 out of 5 stars A Smashing Hit!.......2004-02-23

Another hit by PvD? How come I am not surprised? This song is absolutely fabulous and the vocals and beats are terrific. It's also quite similar to one of his previous works, "Nothing But You." If you like that song, chances are you'll enjoy this one. I am pretty sure that I heard this song somewhere else (besides from PvD), but who cares. If there is another song, PvD just made it 10x better.

5 out of 5 stars Best Compliment to My Music Collection!.......2003-10-16

This single is absolutely awesome.
Played this song all the way to California and home. Definately worth the buy and I am happy to have another Paul Van Dyk single in my collection!

5 out of 5 stars An Essential CD Single!.......2003-10-09

An Outstanding single! The 'PVD Club Mix' of "Time of Our Lives" rocks the house, and I feel is a better version of the original song... more Trance beats within this remix.

And, of course, the amazing remixes of "Connected" are solid material that even Paul van Dyk outdid himself on!

Essential! Just buy it!

5 out of 5 stars Amazingly Thrilling Rollercoaster Ride!.......2007-06-15

I expected there to be only a handful of songs that would sound great but it turns out that the entire CD is really just one crazy roller coaster of unique trancey sounds. This is the first CD I ever bought that I can listen to all the way through to the last track enjoying each track along the way, while not skipping past anything.

When I first bought this CD I thought I was making a mistake because I never heard of "The Thrillseekers", who apparently is one guy, not the assumed two-three DJ's. However, I should never judge trance by it's jewel case anymore. This CD amazed me and I'm starting to like the Nightmusic series better than In Search of Sunrise and A State of Trance. We'll see what happens in the second volume coming out this month.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect trance collection..........2007-05-21

Wow! What a powerful trance collection... This collection, together with Armin's State of Trance 2006 and ATB's In the Mix 3, are the most perfect trance collections of the last 5 years (I would add Tiesto's In search of sunrise - Los Angeles, but it's not 100% trance, since it has some chill out tunes).
I'll be anxiously waiting for the next Thrillseeker's album!


5 out of 5 stars Cool.......2007-05-15

Hey it turns out everyone who liked this was right .... I do too. Good solid trance to dance to.

4 out of 5 stars VOCALS.......2007-02-17

WHY IS IT THAT VOCALS ARE SHOWING UP MORE AND MORE IN TRANCE?

To me their distractions!

DJ's and Producers PLEASE LEAVE THE BUBBLEGUM POP VOCALS for the teeny-bopper radio!

This set lost the fifth star just because of Who's Knocking (Ferry Corsten Remix).

Take the songs with vocals in them out and you still have 22 good trance songs.

Rabbit In The Moon have established an enormous fan base with the release of their 12-inch singles, remix work, and exploration in live performance. With their world renowned remixes for Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Garbage, and countless others, it's no wonder they have the world eagerly awaiting the release of their first full-length CD/DVD. Their style of electronic music is timeless, but to truly understand this group is to see and hear them live. This 80+ minute DVD takes you behind the scenes and in front of thousands of screaming fans at one of their live festival performances, shot in Hi-Def with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent for the casual listener.......2007-07-29

According to all other reviews by hardcore fans, everyone seems to be dissapointed that this is all material they have heard before. So what about the casual Rabbit in the Moon fan, who hasn't heard many of these songs? I enjoyed the Floorida remix album as well as some other remixes RITM has done, but have yet to attend a live show of theirs. Therefore, coming into this album without any pretenses, I am pleased to say it is just what I was hoping for. Dark and deep, juicy with their signature tech/electro sound. This album really doesn't leave anything to be desired, especially with the vocals by Bunny. I think for the casual listener who hasn't heard all of these songs, this album will be a better experience. Still, even for those who have heard and seen it already, isn't it great to finally have all of the original material all on one remastered disc, plus an amazing DVD?

5 out of 5 stars Long Awaited, and a Fantastic DVD.......2007-07-16

As a DJ, I have had access to Rabbit in the Moon material over the past 10 years, as it was released single-by-single. Like many of their fans, I was hooked on Dave Christophere's audio wizardry with the haunting and evolving O.O.B.E. - (mistakenly labeled "Outer" Body Experience on the liner notes - though not a surprising tactic for a new remix.). Several of the track on this new album have been previously released as singles, and/or have been included in their live performances. Though some may find this a bit anticlimactic, it should be noted that everything has been remastered to a degree that it actually does seem new and fresh.

As others have noted, RITM is best experienced as a live act. The music is brought to life through the larger-than-life, kabuki theater-like performance and vocalizations of Bunny (Steve Eachon). Perhaps RITM are destined to become the Grateful Dead of modern Techno, as every show is different, and devoted fans follow their shows, and see them again and again, noting the slight changes to the mixes and song selections, and the ever evolving and exciting Bunny Experience.

With that in mind, it is only natural that they would include a DVD that included some of their live material, along with new and creative original video along with the CD.

The quality of the video and audio on this package is flawless and very entertaining for old and new Rabbit fans. One can only hope that they gather momentum from this release to tour heavily, and release another album of completely new material within the next 18 months. The newer material also has more vocals by Bunny, which I find to be an excellent trend which they should continue to develop in their music and live shows.

5 out of 5 stars A great release from a the legendary RITM!.......2007-07-13

I think this is a *fanstatic* release, mostly because of the DVD content, but I like the CD a lot as well. Being the fan that I am, I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars for that DVD content being what it is. Yes, there is some dated stuff on the album, but it is called "Decade", and the song "Deeper" alone justifies that title. I see some of the other reviewers who are fans, but giving it low-star reviews, that's really too bad. It may be because they were expecting a full new CD of all new material, and didn't get that. Still, I see that those of us who "know the deal", so to speak, know that the essence of Rabbit In The Moon is the live show, I think the DVD content gives a pretty close approximation to what it's actually like to see them live. But tell me, who, of the RITM fans among us, especially those who have seen them live in the least year, didn't FLIP out when they were listening to the "Decade" CD and heard the phrase "Look into the eye!" for the first time, on track 8.. with memories flooding in of Bunny with his TV-on-a-stick?? I know I did. And that song is followed by the AMAZING rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", followed by Deeper (which is admittedly old
but is a classic and couldn't be excluded) but then there's a brand new mix of O.B.E. that, correct me if I'm wrong, has never been released before. (And I own the original Phases O.B.E. 12" record). I love the new mix of that song, and I think it's a great album, even though every single song doesn't thrill me. But even with this CD, some of the older RITM songs that I never really liked much before, like Dubbasex for example, listened carefully and given them another chance, and found they are actually very subtle and beautiful songs.

There is more newer material on the album than some reviewers let on, in fact well over half of it is new. There are a few ommissions, IMO, for example I would have liked to see "Electro Accupuncture" on this CD, but then again that has been released before on a CD, still I think it would have fit in well here though as well. I love the DVD the most, because it reminds me why I've been such a huge fan for so many years, with probably about 7 shows under my belt. To all the fans out there, buy this album! Show your support! Remember the old Zen Festial 96-97 shows, with Bunny, in his disco-ball suit, being lowered by a cable from the ceiling! remember how you felt at those times. They have earned our suport! To those folks new to the electronica genre, this is a good glimpse into understanding the engima that is Rabbit in the Moon... RITM so much more than can possible be described in one album, album review, DVD, magazine article, or antyhing else. There's a whole history and culture behind these guys'one-of-a-kind stlye of performance art, and I think this release captures the essence of it almost as best you could with the amount of material provided. Buy it for the DVD, but then take the audio CD, put in in your car stereo, put on track 8, and crank it up!

3 out of 5 stars Great yet lacking.......2007-07-12

So, if your a rabbit head like me, you've probably heard most of these tracks at their shows. So why is this CD a great purchase? Quite simply because you are a rabbit head and they need our support. If you're new to Rabbit in the Moon then you need to hear what the music is about. The really cool feature is that in the DVD each suit comes with an explanation which will help new listeners/show goers to understand the meaning of the show as a whole and the suits individually. Are there tracks missing? Absolutely. The now famous jungle track used for the dragon slaying sequence is missing, so is the old light suit track which is a favorite amongst show goers. However, the single most significant fact about this release is the release it self. If this goes good, we will see a new Rabbit in the Moon CD sometime soon. Remember, this is their first attempt at this, so lets support them. After all, they have been connecting to us for over a decade, the least we can do is buy the CD.

5 out of 5 stars Finally!.......2007-07-12

Yes, many of the tracks have been previously released. Yes, much of the album sounds like a product of the 90s. Should that be a problem if the music is good?

I am pleased to witness this finally see the light of day. The music sounds great with a pair of headphones, and the DVD only makes it better.

Amazon.com's Best of 1999

Those who have followed Moby's career are familiar by now with his deep convictions and spiritual connection. On his 1999 release, Play, he celebrates his faith in a masterful, unobtrusive way, channeling gospel and other inspirational samples through beats so earthy they could grow grass on a cement dance floor. It's impossible to separate the joy of the message from the joy of the grooves. --Beth Massa

Amazon.com essential recording

The great iconoclast of techno returns with a smooth, sacred, and exhilarating record. Play's concoction of breakbeat rhythms, ambient mixology, and inspired blues and gospel samples cry out across musical genres and histories, imparting a time-tested wisdom to beat-driven ears. Moby's devout faith--in both God and his own musical whims--give this approach a sort of legitimacy that another, less sincere artist would never have. That sincerity reverberates through the beats and instrumental eclecticism like a pulse. The soulful refrains and proclamations in "Find My Baby" and "Natural Blues" somehow nestle between straight-up dance-floor rave-ups ("Bodyrock") and melt-in-your-mouth ambience ("Inside") with an effortless grace. Moby reaches across his turntables and finds something pure--almost organic. In fact, the album feels more natural than techno is ever supposed to feel, more spiritual than what DJs are supposed to be able to muster, and more alive than it has any right to be. --Matthew Cooke

3 out of 5 stars Interesting diversity for just about any collection!.......2007-07-25

Adds interesting diversity to my very mainstream Rock collection. A curiosity item, I'm not familiar with the genre. What I can tell you is I really enjoyed it!

I applaud Moby for taking full advantage of his opportunity by generously including 18 tracks, because I don't know that most of us are up for more than one Moby album in our collections.

Very creative, though. I real keeper!

5 out of 5 stars One of the Great Albums of the 90's.......2007-04-24

I was introduced to this album by my brother and was not sure if I would like it as I grew up in the seventies and was therefore somewhat out of touch with today's artists. But from the opening notes of HONEY, I was hooked. Moby put together a wonderful collection of songs for this album, most of which are instantly memorable, covering rock, pop, ambient music, gospel and ballads. Eighteen songs is a lot for one album and maybe four could have been left off: DOWN SLOW and 7 are very short, almost snippets. The spoken tracks: IF THINGS WERE PERFECT and THE SKY IS BROKEN are irritating and I tend to skip them. My other criricism is that the best tracks are contained in the first half of the album and it tends to run out of steam after RUN ON. So maybe a differnet playing order would have held my interest better. But that is only a minor complaint as there are so many wonderful tracks.

HONEY, WHY DOES MY HEART FEEL SO BAD, BODYROCK, RUSHING, RUN ON, NATURAL BLUES, EVERLOVING, GUITAR FLUTES AND STRING, PORCELAIN, FIND MY BABY, SOUTHSIDE and MACHETE are standouts. PORCELAIN may be overplayed as I see it listed on most chillout albums, including PURE MOODS 3 but there is no denying it is a great song. SOUTHSIDE is the other big hit but it does not really need Gwen Stefani's guest vocal and some other songs do tend to repeat the one line over and over (HONEY, FIND MY BABY, WHY DOES MY HEART...) but they never sound motonous. But the album is more creative than most today and this guy is very versatile with different styles of music. My favourite way to listen to the album is to delete the four tracks mentioned above that i do not care for and then let the album play. It is beautiful, raw, soulful and edgy all at once.

By the way skip the liner notes. Moby pours forth about his beliefs on various topics and I for one don't really care. I am interested in some of the issues he talks about but it does come accross as a little bit preachy. Just create more great music. Below are track listing and times.

4 out of 5 stars Not too bad.......2007-05-26

I generally disliked Frank's classical type music....too used to the Mothers of Invention. But, this effort sort of bridges the gap between the two. And, I admit, I'm growing more tolerant in my old age.

5 out of 5 stars the best guitar CD I never listened in my life.......2007-03-30

Sometimes it's necessary to become in the past for knowing the real masters of music this is a great occasion to to it

3 out of 5 stars Too Little Too Late.......2007-03-18

After years of listening to the two previous Zappa guitar cds, I was not very moved by this release. Frank is soloing over many of the same vamps and changes but his playing lacks the inventiveness of the earlier recordings. The segues and editing from track to track are not nearly as seamless as Frank was capable of. I suspect this was a result of a man exhausted from fighting a devastating illness. Chunga's Revenge being a favorite theme, it would have been nice to hear another version of this tune featuring Frank instead of Dweezil. Dweezil has alot of chops but he ain't sayin' nothin'. A bunch of empty notes. Listen to the original album for this track and Transylvania Boogie. Frank's guitar is testifying!

5 out of 5 stars If you like Zappa's noodling - you'll love it. .......2007-03-09

it's Dweezle on the first and last track - and then Frank on the rest.
A powerful testament to his ability to keep it together and the dynamic fluidity of his musical mind on the fretboard.

There are few like him.
It's some of the best hammy riffing since Hot Rats.

2 out of 5 stars Zapped.......2007-02-07

No Doubt that Frank was a huge influence on my life ( who could imagine? )from the earliest Mothers. But this must appeal to guitar players more than me; I can listen to Robert Fripp, John McClaughlin and Jeff Beck for hours but this seems repetitive and boring. Can I end this review with an Apostrophe?

3 out of 5 stars Cheesy and predictable .......2007-06-17

I used to be a big fan of trance music a few years ago but as time went on, the genre became stale and dull. Every trance artist used that same tiresome recipe of a male programmer/dj and a female singer. I can't tell one Euro pop act from another nowadays. They all sound alike. No wonder their careers don't last for more than two albums. Cascada follows that same cookie cutter, formulaic recipe that made their peers like 4 Strings and their tiresome ilk popular.

I have to admit Cascada's music is quite melodic. The pop hooks quickly got stuck in my head. It is hard not want to dance to this music. Unfortunately everything else sounds generic and lifeless. Cascada offers nothing new or original. Was it really necessary to cover that treacly Savage Garden ballad "Truly, Madly, Deeply"? I did though like their cover of Kim Wilde's "Kids in America" but how many times can that song be covered? Obviously not enough.

Cascada quickly reminded me why I no longer listen to vocal trance music any more. It all sounds the same. This genre needs to die quickly.

5 out of 5 stars This Album will Leave You Speechless.......2007-06-04

Wow. I was speechless when I bought the new Cascada "Every time We touch" album. Her songs and lyrics are amazing and I know you'll love them. Men, want to show a sensitive side, and show her you care and you know what a woman likes? Well, I recommend buying her these great tracks that she is sure to love. What woman wouldn't want this, Cascada is a great singer no matter what genre you like. This album includes the tracks "Every Time We Touch", "Kids In America", and a spectactular remake of "Truly Madly Deeply", a song you and your partner will love to listen to together. Buy it for yourself or as a gift, either way, you can't go wrong.

1 out of 5 stars Music for SCUM........2007-04-02

It's not often that you hate a record after the first few seconds, but that's exactly what happened here. Not for the music itself though.. let me explain.

First of all - the actual music is AWFUL. Tinny, flat sound with as much depth, charm and passion as a Happy Meal. Dull, formulaic drivel that consists of cover after cover - take a famous song, strap a instantly dated techno beat behind it, get token blonde to sing the vocals and voila - one super-suck album.

As the official Room 101 of Amazon, The Curmudgeon has access to many exclusive things. And so here is an actual excert from the recording studio where this travesty was recorded...

"What's that? Oh - 'Truly Madly Deeply' - that's a song that people who don't actually like music will know - cover that. Oh, and Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America' - that's got a good chorus, hasn't it. Let's cover that too. 'How Do You Do' by Roxette. What the hell - cover it. We really are making a worthwhile and quality album here, aren't we? Pass the cocaine."

But like I said - it's not the actual music that is so abhorrent - its the image it brings when you first hear it, of the actual low-life, teenage single mother SCUM who will buy it.

You WILL hear this coming from some empty-headed yo-yo-knickered harlot's I-Pod. You WILL hear this coming from some clapped-out car full of thick kids in baseball caps. You WILL hate absolutely everyone who listens to this.

People who listen to this don't even know what music IS. Don't be one of them.

Album Description

The much anticipated NEW ALBUM containing 26 unreleased, all original songs by one of the world's premier DJs - ATB!

On this, his seventh album, ATB has succeeded in combining two worlds, without intermingling them unnecessarily. Trilogy's first disc ("Dance") provides the electronic and melodious ATB sound blended with a unique rock and pop crossover flavour. The second disc ("Chill"), on the other hand, offers the listener 14 super smooth tracks.

"Every album should have its own soul and a golden thread leading through all the songs. However, you only really feel the soul if you listen to all the songs together. If you mix up the faster and slower songs, that isn't going to work," explains Andre.

Customer Reviews:

1 out of 5 stars Are You Kidding??.......2007-07-16

I thought I could count on Andre for inspired and soaring synth riffs (i.e."In My Dreams", etc.) I feel completely ripped off by this album. He has always been my number one trance artist, but now I feel like this God is dead. ATB is now "A Total Bore". Save your money...this album sucks.

4 out of 5 stars ATB's new sounds, and then some........2007-07-06

This is definitely a high-flyer for ATB. It reminds me very much of the Two Worlds album, with the first CD being mainly techno-y/pop songs and the second CD being a great ambient mix. I'm not much of a fan of Heather Nova, and there's something about the featured single, "Renegade" that doesn't sound right, but dedicated ATB fans will like the new sounds, especially if you can't find quite the same kind of ambient that only ATB has. I would say it's no Movin' Melodies, or Two Worlds for that matter, but it's definitely worth the money. I've loved and listened to ATB for 6 years and I'm impressed that he can come out with a refreshingly new two-disc set after being in the game this long.

4 out of 5 stars Great album...but does not reach "No silence" yet..........2007-06-26

ATB is an excellent DJ. Although he's classified in the Trance category, a more appropriate definition of his style would be melodic trance, as pointed out by a reviewer here. If you look for DJ tiesto, Armin Van Buuren, PVD like trance, go elsewhere. This is more mellow, more subtle trance here. The first CD has great vocal trance tracks (Renegade with Heather Nova will probably be among the most popular), pretty energetics sometimes, but nothing like the heavy basses rhythms of the DJs I mentionned earlier. Very laid back and relaxing.
The second CD, is definitely leaning towards dream music. very relaxing, excellent chillout tracks, perfect for a lazzy afternoon, or a quiet drive from the club at 4am.
4 stars only? well, rating is different for everybody, but to me, ATB really stood out with his previous album "No silence" and tracks like Ectasy, Marrakech, and others. IMHO this album is not as innovative and sort of surf on the same wave but no higher.
dont get me wrong though, it's still great music. I guess I'm just not as nicely surprised as with the "No silence" album. if you liked it, buy this one with your eyes closed.

4 out of 5 stars ATB - Trilogy.......2007-06-25

ATB's newest CD is confusingly called "Trilogy". It's confusing since it's only 2 Discs-long, when I thought it was going to be 3 Discs-long - given the "Trilogy" title.

On top of that, it's almost like buying 2 completely different, separate artists' albums. That said, both of Trilogy's discs are good at what they set out to do.

Disc 1 is your typical ATB album. It's upbeat; it's dance-able. It's catchy, but never cheesey. There are good beats throughout and points to ATB for producing/creating them himself. A lot of DJ's can just spin good records, but ATB can also make good records. I thought the vocals were good throughout. This album is great for clubbing, driving fast, partying, etc. If you are a fan of ATB's other stuff, Disc 1 should definitely appeal to you.

Disc 2 however, is about as opposite from Disc 1 as you can get. Disc 2 is super mellow, ambient music. It is background music at its finest. It's calming, and can actually be beautiful at times - again a testament to ATB's ability to produce/create/make music. This CD is perfect for staying calm in rush-hour traffic, reading a book, or trying to fall asleep to.

So both CDs are good, even if they're really not related. I'm not sure anyone would ever naturally want to listen to them back-to-back; they're just so different from one another. If you are strictly a fan of the trance/dance genre, Disc 1 is for you, and you may hate Disc 2. If you're open to a wider taste of music, you may like both discs.

4 out of 5 stars nice!.......2007-06-20
