"It took Amazon[.com] FOREVER to get this album it. It is fairly old now, but it is a legendary 1st Mix for Armin's own record label "Armind". This is a 2-CD mix. Personally, CD-2 is much better to me. This 2-CD set includes some "out-of-this-world" tracks such as : Rating System:

Miller & Floyd - Colours (Humate Remix) ***1/2

Paul Crogan presents The Coffee Boys - The Touch (James Holden Remix)***1/2
Fred Numf vs. Five Point O - 3 Nights In A Blue Room (Steve Porter Mix)****
Gaia - 4 Elements (Extended Version) *****Tracks such as L.S.G.'s "I'm not existing", Kamaya Painters' "Far From Over", Gaia (Armin Van Buuren) "4 Elements", Yahel "Devotion", Matt Darey presents DSP "From Russia With Love", Cabala "Dark Blue", Tilt "Invisible", etc. are simply AMAZING!! This CD is WAY UP THERE ON THE BEST TRANCE MIXES EVER!! It is uplifting and nostalgic, but not cheesy! All I can say is, if you don't like this mix, you don't deserve to listen to Trance at all. This is the embodiement of Trance (atleast when it was made). Get it, you can thank yourself later."

Best Trance Ever!!

"Ok first of all I have to admit that this album really really amazed me and personally I am not a big fan of trance but seriously this is the best trance that I have ever heard, it's smoot, catchy and it never became monotone like other trance compilations, I think this is how trance have to be done, personally I prefer another type of djs like Dave Seaman, Chris Fortier, but this one has became one of my favourites and actually this album is on my top 10 of djs sets.
And how about the dance floor?Well I think this album is for dancing and for chill out, both things are very possible with this kind of music first of all it takes you high and second of all it's very artistic so you can relax and stay calm listening to this music or... put yourself into de dance floor and let all that euphoria out.So in my personal opinion everyone not just trance lovers but also people hoo wants to discover real trance have to listen to this album, seriosly I could give it 10 stars if it was posible it deserve it one by one."

"Armin van Buuren is quite possibly up there with Keoki as the all time most unrecognized Djs in the world! Armin van Buuren takes every single element of Trance and finds endless ways to bring them together, and put you in his own state of Trance! This CD brings many of the all time greatest Trance hits together and, amazingly, Armin makes them all sound great! I've convinced many people that Trance is great with the CD. If you like beats, any beats at all, you will love this CD! Let him put you in a Trance."
