"I really like this new single from the band Ian Van Dahl. "Inspiration" is a mid-paced, hypnotic, groove-focused song. I love it because it shows versitility and not running a successful sound into the ground! It peaked at #8 on the Hot Dance Singles Sales chart."

Could Have Been Moree Inspired, but Still Satisfactory

"Inspiration is the latest single (as of March 2005) off of Ian Van Dahl's second album "Lost and Found". The single for Inspiration deviates a bit from the generous singles from the past few months, only featuring 5 tracks, but still for a low price. The tracks on the single though are 2 regular versions of Inspiration (a radio edit and an extended/full version), two tranced remixes, and a soft but happy and upbeat version. Of the 5 versions on the CD, the extended remix and the remix by Peter Luts seem to be the best. The TDR remix serves an interesting feature though, as it has Annemie on a vocoder for the chours of the song - something that Ian Van Dahl should experiment with and capitalize on in the future.



Inspiration, despite having a weak single, is arguably one of the more unique songs on Ian Van Dahl's "Lost & Found" album, and it is a little dissapointing to see that the group did not make a strong effort to build on the song's unique style. It is a simple song in terms of structure, but it seems to just stand out in it's non-traditional manner.



All complaints aside, Inspiration is still an alright single, but it could have stood to have more tracks; and perhaps more variety. It garners a 3.0 star rating, and should still be considered if you are looking for a good dance track that stands out a bit from the past few songs that IVD and other mainstream trance/dance acts have done."
