OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!!!

"Armin van Buuren has done it again. This double cd album shows why he is one of the best djs in the world. CD 1 provides a smooth combination of progressive and trance whereas in CD 2 he brings tech-trance to another level. As usual Armin does not disappoint. Almost every track is off the hook. Although I must say his previous album "AVB 002:Basic Instinct" is my favorite, this one is worth listening to as well. It's one of those cds where if you listen to them once, you'll listen to them over and over again. I'm proud to say that I own both "AVB 002:Basic Instinct" and "AVB 003:In Motion." Currently Listed as 27th on the Top 100 djs list of 2001, I believe he is one of the most underated djs. I may be biased since he's my favorite dj, but don't take my word for it, check it out yourself."
Not Armin's best

"These sets are just OK. If you're into Progressive then you'll love the first disc and if you're into dark techno-ish trance then the second disc will make you smile. Since I prefer uplifting melodic trance that can be found on "Boundaries of Imagination," "001: State of Trance," "002: Basic Instinct," and "004: Tranceparance," these CD's just didn't do it for me. The first disc is as boring as "002: Basic Instinct's" first disc with only one good song being the last one (Vincent de Moor's "Flowtation 2001." The second disc reminded me of Tiesto's Spage Age 2.0 with a lighter touch. It did contain more good tracks though.All in all, buy this CD if you're into Progressive and/or dark techno-ish Trance. If you expect Armin's usual uplifting melodic Trance, you'll be disappointed."
MOST UNDERRATED AVB MIX

"this is one of the best mixes i ever heard..much better than state of trance and of course than disappointing 76.
From the beginning to the end avb hypnotizes you with his perfect selection of tunes.. I'd say it is masterpiece and people who gave this cd 3 or 2 stars i guess prefer commercial or cheezy trance which iz not my type of trance...If you're a trance lover then you should definnitely get this piece of work its worth every penny"
