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.
