Amazon.com
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 Tiesto, 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 Brilliant. What else can I say.   August 20, 2008
David Ceremauga (USA)
While I'm an old timer to techno, i'm sort of new to trance. These mixes don't dissappoint. The replay value is VERY high. The quality is top notch. Unfortionately the MP3's ripped from the CD and put here do not bind together well. There is a little skip between each track even though this is a continuous mix. I will edit out the white space and recompile the CD.

This is a MUST HAVE collection.

cause i want some just to convince myself this wasnt a waste of money, it didn't fire on ANY cylinders at all! absolutly terrible effort armin. i was a big fan of asot 04, 05 and especially 06 and thought he couldnt do anything but get better,...i was incredibly wrong. even the familiar tunes that were different remixes, "what you need" hard dub, are you kidding? the progressive version is light years better, i gave them multiple listens and still nothin, stick with 06, markus shultz ibiza 06, or the therapy sessions from dave seaman and comp. better luck next time armin, turnin this diaster in for credit at the local cd store
