"If you thought they couldn't repeat again with another trance stunner like Ace, think again, as Ian Van Dahl is back with a superb freakin' vengeance! Believe, Where Are You Now, and I Can't Let You Go have all been officially released as singles, but the offerings do not stop here, as there are even more awesome tracks to behold on this album!!!
There isn't a bad track on here, with all the background trance melodies being incredibly danceable and catchy. If there is one flaw I have is that some of the choruses of the vocals are a bit repetitive, like in Crying and My Own.
This is hands down the best mainstream danceable trance album of 2004. It completely kicks butt over 4 Strings album Turn It Around which was released the same day.
And as for the best track on here, it is definitely track 8-Do You Feel the Same. This is slightly different type of dance style track that you can't hear and immediately say Ian Van Dahl, like you can with their other tracks. It's a knockout track and if they don't release it as a single they are nuts!!!
Run, don't walk to the nearest store, or press the buy it now button on amazon immediately and get overnight shipping because nobody should be without this slammin trance album right now!!"
"I bought this from amazon.co.uk last year and didn't really listen to it enough after it arrived to really appreciate it. But just before easter I put the whole album on my portable mp3 player and I've been playing it almost daily through the whole easter holiday. And the album definetly grew a lot on me. Now I listen to it when I'm in the mood for vocal trance with an emotional touch and deep, heartfelt lyrics. The whole album is awesome but some standout songs are:
Where Are You Now
Crying
Crazy
Waiting 4 You (LOVE this song! I hope it will be a future single!!)
My Own
Time 2 Go
Inspiration
State Of Mind
Believe
When I listen to Waiting 4 You, it almost brings me to tears every time cos it's so haunting and beautiful. It also reminds me a lot of Frozen and The Power Of Goodbye, both amazing Madonna songs and hearing another amazing song in the same vein coming from my favourite dance group was totally the icing on the cake for me. A song that shows Annemie's talent to its fullest both as a singer and a songwriter. Thumbs up!"
Superb, Beautiful, Uplifting Vocal Trance....!

1. I Can't Let You Go 3:47
2. Inspiration 3:35
3. Where Are You Now? 3:33
4. Crying 5:31
5. Crazy 3:47
6. My Own 6:26
7. Waiting 4 U 4:38
8. Do You Feel The Same 4:33
9. Come 2 Me 3:55
10. Time 2 Go 5:52
11. Rollercoaster 6:15

13. Believe 3:05
14. Walking Away 3:22
15. To Fall In Love 6:04
16. State Of Mind 3:32
The whole cd is nearly 71 minutes long!..which is great..although all the songs are truly flawless, the standout tracks include: "I Can't Let You Go", "Crying", "Do You Feel The Same", "Rollercoaster"(which is basically an instrumental euphoric trance anthem), "Without You", "Believe", and "To Fall In Love"....If one has to alleviate all the stress, anxiety, or just after a long day..then just run to your store and buy this CD!!!

ACE is good, but this is unbelievable

"Like so many others in the past, Ian Van Dahl started off on the right foot making a few outstanding singles, and then produced a rather average even dull at times debut album such as ACE. Well they've definitely learned from that mistake, because this new album "Lost & Found" provides even better songs than the singles. "I Can't Let You Go" which was the lead single off this album is by far better than their already amazing dark-hinted debut single "Castles In The Sky." Following closely are the next two singles "Where Are You Now", and "Believe." But it doesn't stop there. Ian Van Dahl definitey did not fail when it came to making beautifully crafted melodic vocal trance anthems. The standouts of this album are the surprisingly contagious "I Can't Let You Go"; two chilling dance anthems which are sure to be classics "Crying", "Crazy"; a freestyle influenced trancy styled club hit, "My Own"; a beautiful ballad by a trance group which is surprisingly flawless, "Waiting For You"; Midnite Ibiza standout which I think should be the next single, "Do You Feel The Same"; The 80's influenced "Walking Away"; a slow starter but definitely stands out "State Of Mind"; and of course my personal favorite track "Without You."
This is not your average vocal trance. They certainly came a long way since the days of Ace. This is one group who will definitely not face "Sophomore Slump." Ian Van Dahl is just getting started, and they're here to stay, so heres paving the way for the best vocal trance group around.
