| | Armin Van Buuren 76 CD Armin Van Buuren Discography of CDs
(3 Customer Reviews)
Armin van Buuren's full production debut, 76, picks up where the futuristic Euro-disco of Jean-Michel Jarre and Giorgio Moroder left off 15 years before. Like Jarre and Moroder, van Buurin knows how to construct hypnotic and driving songs that have little to do with the massive washes of sound his trance competitors churn out and have everything to do with head-bobbing living-room listening. Not that van Buurin can't fill a dancefloor, but he's left that to his 12" releases and made 76 such a cohesive listen it comes off as an early-morning Ibiza mix album. Guest vocals are handled by frequent collaborators Justine Suissa and Victoria Horn along with a surprisingly good appearance by blink-and-you-missed-him Genesis vocalist Ray Wilson on "Yet Another Day." "From the Heart" (with Ferry Corsten guesting under his System F guise) is another winner with a synth line right out of Midnight Express, while "Blue Fear 2003" updates Armin's 1995 hit superbly. Unlike Oakenfold and others, van Buurin is well aware of his limitations. It means there's hardly a groundbreaking moment included, but 76 is favorable for the more reserved tranceheads and fans of progressive electronic and disco's brief and glistening love affair. ~ David Jeffries

Not as good as State of Trance Although this record has some excellent tracks, it is not as good as the newer State of Trance or Universal Religion - Ibiza records. Submitted by Electronica Audiophile (NC, USA) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No
How trance used to sound This album is amazing, and really nothing else would have to be said to explain it. But what really sticks out about this album to me is, it reminds me of how trance USED to be. It's very melodic, full and warm. Like older Oakenfold albums. And even on the tracks with vocalists, the vocals arent overly excessive. They compliment the music, instead of drowning it out. This album represents the best the trance scene has to offer, and hopefully the way trance is headed back to, in the future. Submitted by mikey (rapids, wi) Was This Review Helpful? Yes No

76 songs
$14.79 A legend among trance devotees in Europe, Armin van Buuren has been gradually making a name for himself as a composer of original dance music as well as a world-class DJ and remixer. His second artist album finds him taking the final step into real songwriting, working with such singers as Nadia Ali, Michael Burns, Justine Suissa and Martijn Hagens and continuing both to refine and expand his personal vision of the ways trance can be defined in a constantly expanding dance music universe. The album opens powerfully with the surprisingly breaks-based "Wall of Sound," a well put together celebration of funkiness that luxuriates in a long instrumental intro before eventually turning into a song featuring the attractive voice of Justine Suissa. From there on, things fall into a more familiar pattern: sonically pretty but rhythmically predictable club anthems supporting ...

76 music CDs
$27.09 Disc 6 includes an untitled hidden track which follows "Time Will Pass You By."
Since day one of its humble 1993 genesis, Tooth & Nail founder Brandon Ebel quietly but determinedly built the label with an ambitious release schedule that crossed over genre borders with a freedom uncommon in the indie label underground. While Christianity was often a unifying factor, it was still out of the ordinary to find a label where styles as disparate as ska and death metal coexisted in peace. This limited-edition, tenth-anniversary retrospective celebrates that diversity with six discs of Tooth & Nail music. It will be a boon for the imprint's throng of disciples, many of whom glommed onto initial releases from types like Starflyer 59, Blenderhead, and MXPX and stuck around for the duration, appreciating with equal fervor latter-day material from Further Seems Forever, FM Static, Halo Friendlies, and the Agony Scene. All of this and everything in between is represented on Tooth & Nail Tenth Anniversary, which runs in general chronological order through the label's decade of rock & roll devotion. Nothing is previously unreleased, but plenty offers pause for the memories. There are the established classics -- "Duane Joseph" from Juliana ...

$16.05 The NEA Jazz Masters program is sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, and since 1982 has been handing out honors and cash to legendary jazz artists. This collection of past award-winners (which is limited to recordings released by labels owned currently by Universal, namely Verve, Impulse!, MCA, and Decca) makes for some great listening. The tracks by such amazing artists as Count Basie, Carmen McRae, Dizzy Gillespie, and Sonny Rollins are taken from when they were at the peak of their game, not when they were given ...
| | Maximilian Hecker Lady Sleep CD (2005)
76 album
$14.29 Lady Sleep, the third full-length offering from German chamber pop balladeer Maximilian Hecker, is pure misery. Protagonists pine, grieve, and rage as they watch hope fade away through frosty windows of romantic failure like Elizabethan teenagers in love, pausing only to reflect on the inevitable relief provided by their eventual earthly demise. Hecker croons lines like "You're the goddess of my daydreams/you're the diving suit to my body/you're the one I will never touch" in a lucid falsetto that recalls the Zombies' Colin Blunstone without the whimsy. His maudlin world is augmented by piano, strings, and the occasional burst of processed guitar or drums, resulting in a collection of material that manages to echo both Trent Reznor and "Without You"-era Harry Nilsson, ...
