 Completely awesome! August 13, 2008
I came across this album in Camden Library so I decided to borrow it. I thought it would be quite disappointing but it was actually really good. I've heard of Armin Van Buuren ever since I heard his awesome remix of Motorcycle's song "As The Rush Comes".
Disc One is the best out of the two discs. The first two tracks were a bit too slow but then after track #3, it gets good. I especially like track #7 so much that I even bought the full version of it. But unfortunately, after track #8, the mix gets kinda boring.
Disc Two is a club CD. I'm not usually turned on to this CD. But according to previous reviews, track #4 does sound weird but in fact, it's not the original - it's the KvA club version of it. The original of track #4 is MUCH better. Track #5 makes up for track #4 a bit. It reminds me of being up in a cloudy land (like in the Spyro games). But I'm not really into the other tracks.
Mixing: 10/10
Choice: 6.5/10
Quality: 9.5/10
The reason I didn't put five stars was that the choice of tracks could be improved. But overall, an awesome compilation to have in your collection.
 Some of armins finest work June 20, 2008
Theres a reason armin is at the top of trance scene. He took over Tiesto's #1 spot this year because of albums like this. Most of the songs on this album are a journey of themselves. Also this album sounds like music out a year later. Again armin keeps ahead of the times. Slightly better than A State of Trance 2004-one of my all time trance favorites. I listened to this album while snowboarding and had a great run. Great to listen to while out on the mountain in an ipod.
State of Trance 2006 is Good April 12, 2008
AVB does a good job of mixing and matching to produce an up-tempo summary of the State of Trance in 2006. If you're into electronica, dance and trance, this is a must have... and his 2007 version I like even better.
 Armin Needs to Evolve as a DJ December 8, 2007

A State of Trance 2006 may have been released in this year, but the sound of the album is much more outdated. Trance purists such as Van Buuren and the artist's that produce most of what he tends to feature on his mixes are still holding fast to a sound that is nearly identical to the way it was 10 years ago. Cresendo drum rolls, annoying keyboard sounds, shallow rapid baselines and a void of any decernable rhythm. Am I the only one who is getting tired of this genre?
Disc 1 is an interesting interpretation of what Armin Van Buuren considers a set played "At the Beach" should sound like. A lot of acustic guitar rifts and piano. It does have much more depth that the second disc. "White Sand" (DJ Shah's Original Mix) by Sunlounger and "Timeless" (Digifruitella dub) by Matthew Dekay are fairly decent tracks.
The set in disc 2 is just an empty shell surrounded by a rapid tempo of souless beats. Named, "In The Club" (yes I know...yet another one), an unmistakable set by Van Buuren, and affirmation why I've never had an interest in hearing this guy live. "Walk Down" (KvA Club Mix) by Kyau vs. Albert is just plain crap with the remaining tracks being below average.
A better title for this series would be "A Stasis of Trance".
Disc 1 get 3/5 stars, and disc 2, 2/5 stars.
Good August 29, 2007
Pretty good album.. Over 2 hours of music. But, in places it sounds like a kid with a casio keyboard waiting for the first beat of a basic 4/4 time signature.
