Armin van Buuren - A State Of Trance 2004

Dutch dance sensation Armin Van Buuren sends listeners reeling into a State Of Trance with a new double disc that mixes progressive techno and euphoric trance with his trademark lush and often off-kilter melodies.

Side-stepping the cheesy commercialism that has melted over the genre in recent years, Van Buuren carefully crafts an otherworldly musical journey that starts in the stark, yet heavenly melodic terrain of Disc One, before dipping into the emotive vocal yearns of Justine Suissa on the hit track "Burned With Desire".

From there Van Buuren sends us shooting off into the darker, spacey realms, filled with SciFi euphorics and pounding beats of Disc Two.
