Back behind the decks after 2003's self-produced 76, Armin Van Buuren's 2-disc A State of Trance 2004 jumps back into giant thumps and epic dance textures. 76 had a relatively soft touch, in tune with the DJ's often-stated admiration for the music of Jean-Michel Jarre, but this mix is peak-heavy, designed to leave a dance floor light-headed and dreamy. Set loose with a crate full of wax once again, he lets the high end do the work, then judiciously drops massive beats to rattle your sub-woofers. Disc 1's "Signs From The Universe" uses the strategy especially well, with a swarming keyboard build that gets swallowed by a dark, rumbling rhythm. Van Buuren goes velvety smooth on disc 2, but doesn't forget the need for contrast; "Totally Fascinated" is darkly subterranean in parts, yet balanced by the song's sensual keyboard lift. While there's nothing groundbreaking here by any means, Van Buuren's approach makes for perfect sunny day music before nightfall brings out the heavier, more sinister spinners. --Matthew Cooke

5 out of 5 stars Turned me on to trance.......2007-05-29

Literally had never listened to techno or trance ever before and Disc 1 of this album made me a lifetime fan. Disc 2 is very solid as well, but the first is absolutely epic. The version I have was acquired through clandestine means and I liked it enough to actually purchase a copy.

You haven't lived until you've driven 15-20 miles over the speed limit on the freeway or a country backroad, at night, alone (passengers can ruin a good song with "conversation"), with all the windows open and with this CD at high volume.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant cd. It's in my top 3........2007-05-17

I love ASOT 2004. Listen to it all the time. Real talent went into this CD.

I didn't like ASOT 2006 and I just listened to ASOT 2005 and hated that one. 2005 must have been thrown together over a 3 day weekend or something.

4 out of 5 stars Stand Out Tracks, What this album sound like.......2007-04-01

I own this state of trance mix as well as 05 and 06. Armin's track selection is usually pretty decent and his mix is on track. His style will throw alot of ppl off. It's very mellow and euphoric, starts off slow and gradual. The shortest track on cd 1 is 5 minutes. More for chillin' than for clubbing. The standout tracks on cd 1 would be Airwave's Lady Blue(original beat), your trademark trance song. Oceanlab's Satellite (original above & beyond remix) has a excellent buildup, your trademark club anthem female vocal trance song. It's done again with Armin's own Burned with Desire (Rising Star Remix). I'm a big fan of Female Vocals and those 2 tracks deliver.

cd 2 is the same, the set doesn't pick up til Michael Burns' The Ambience, and flows right into Peter Martin's Perfect Wave, spine tingling ecstacy of a euphoric track, the track alone is why you should buy the album, it's the epitimy of how a good trance song should be. Oakenfold included this song in his Creamfields mix but it's more for the club mix doesn't come close to Armin's easy going and smooth buildup which was what Martin had in mind when producing this song. Then comes Mono's Rise another non vocal hit, this one will get you dancing,

5 out of 5 stars ZRODN.......2007-01-08

This old version compilation is cutting edge with good sound rotation well played by Armin. The newer state of trance compilations have different sound formats which is very upsetting since he has a huge artist list under his labels such as M.I.K.E. and Kamil Polner. He should take these two artists and blare a non stop live compilation on each artist individually he will make huge loot since these two artists mentioned are more musicians and fully understand proper sound format, its issues with live performances, comprehensive knowledge on sound equipment; its strain on pitch and or amplification;, and mood swings with party revelers and open auditoriums pack those locations play loud and good music make massive loot and live large god dam it.

4 out of 5 stars ASOT 2004 is one of the great trance compilation of the 2004.......2006-05-20

Hi guys,
The ASOT 2004 compilation received the award for the BEST COMPILATION CD for the 2004. This is a proove that the CD have a lot of quality. You just have to forget about commercial stuff you will do not find the same things of this CD. And be aware that the tracks have a style of DEEP TRANCE, and sometimes you dont know if the track have change or not, but this is real cool when you put the CD, seat down, relax, and let the trance takes you.
