A State of Trance 2009

Just got my hands on the mixed tracks of ASOT 2009, and I must say they are as impressive as usual. For those who don’t know what ASOT is, it is a famous trance radio series hosted by Armin van Buuren. Every year Armin releases an album according to the year number, and selects numerous top tracks to be mixed together into one long trance mix.

This year’s ASOT has really nice tracks in my opinion. Honestly I’m not a totally hardcore trance junkie, there are certain styles of trance which don’t appeal to me as much, however I have found the tracks of 2009 really easy to get into. From personal experience in trying to get other people to listen to trance, the more melodic types of trance are easier to get into, such as ones with more predominant keyboard effects, as opposed to let’s say a predominant drum and bass beat.

If you aren’t such an often listener of trance but don’t mind a bit from time to time, this is one album you should really try out. Do remember that when listening to trance, you gotta listen all the way, not the first 30 seconds of it and say it’s boring cuz that would only be the intro beats! However how you get your hands on this will be up to you =P but do give this album a try! Anyways, here’s one of the tracks I really like included in ASOT 2009: Faces by Andy Moor & Ashley Wallbridge feat. Meighan Nealon:
