rating: 5 QuoteSome of armins finest workQuote
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. June 20, 2008

rating: 4 QuoteState of Trance 2006 is GoodQuote
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. April 12, 2008

A State of Trance 2006 may have been released in this year, but the sound of the album is much more outdated.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. December 8, 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. August 29, 2007

If you like anything resembling electronic music, you'll likely LOVE this! I have all his stuff...he's amazing, especially with a hi-fi system or earphones that really cover full frequency (flatly): 5-25K Hz. June 7, 2007
