Double Outstanding Vocal Trance CD:
I've always liked Trance music even though I've listened to various styles of dance music over the years. After sampling Tiesto and PVD, I can say that I've turned into a AVBuuren fan after listening to State of Trance 2006. State of Trance 2008 however, is different to me. It has more vocal tracks and less of that energy on the 2006 CD.

CAUTION! Before you buy this CD, know one thing....:
Ok, I'm not going to drag this out, so here is the nut shell review: I live in Miami, been to Ultra every year as well as WMC. I am 23 yrs old...go to all the clubs on South beach..

Its good. but not that good.:
Well i have heard this albulm 3 times. & quite frankly its not that good ( compared to last years )
I would recomend it to trance fans that love armin, But if you like driving & jaming to something with a little twist this is not for you. I think i've heard better ASOT episodes online.
