I've got it, probably the biggest dissapointment of 2005 after I've been to the actual releaseparty where he played excellent, and after that he comes out with such a bullshitcd.

Good CD unless you are seeking out cheese... markus schulz-y prog trance, along with some more typical armin stuff Smile

I liked it anyway, although seeing Armin live is much better than any mix cd, nwopper Very Happy

i like cd one very much great build and peak to the set some great tunes. not a big fan of cd 2 only a few good tracks here:-arcadia-ballarina-made of sun-halcyon and massive motion only about 5 of the 17 being any good

Didn't like this compilation much at all. Worse than the 2004 version. The running time was very short, with less than an hour on disc 2 and less than 70 min on disc 1. Not sure of why this is, most tunes mixed were under three minutes, which is ridiculous.
There were a few good tunes, but a lot of similar tracks, especially the vocal ones, that I didn't like.
I'm not sure what has happened to Armin.

i got it.. im semi disappointed with it. i downloaded it first and i liked it a lot since it had a lot of the years best tunes in it(space guitar, gone, wasting, first time, bad deal, massive motion, arcadia, etc) but then when i bought the cd, and i listened to it.. i was wondering where half the freaking songs went.. there are only 13 tracks on each side, and a lot of the songs i heard on the ASOT 2k5 mp3 were cut from the actual US cd... wtf. the songs past call of tomorrow on disc 1 and made of sun on disc 2 were cut out of the cd... GAH. at least im not that disappointed, since my money is supporting armin & trance. maybe his sequel to 76 will be amazing

The American release by (I believe) Ultra records or someth. has got 13 tracks on each cd.
The European release, the one I own, has got 15 tracks on cd 1 and 17 on cd 2.

Boy, that's a ripoff! Why would they have seperate releases?

Indeed it is and I don't know why....
In Holland it's distributed and released by BMG, so if you buy this cd, buy it through an European source so you won't get ripped!
