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

 OK CD, not as expected May 8, 2008

I guess I'm more into the tracks produced by Armin Van Buuren and Ferry Corsten together on a single label rather than them individually, as in the album, Armin moves away from his traditional sounds and begin introducing something that will become evident in his most recent album, which is in the likes of Paul Van Dyke and ATBs newer albums.

I have purchased music before where a number of people gave it 5 stars and I would not give it a 3. But when you have as many reviews as this one with consistent high marks, I figured it was a good bet.
I have been an aficionado of Trance music for years and for me, this may be the best 'total' Trance CD so far.
Brilliant cd. It's in my top 3. May 17, 2007

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.

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,

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.
