Armin van Buuren – Mirage tracklist

[TimoV]

It’s the album the entire dance scene has been waiting for. After months of hard work and creativity, the number one DJ in the world delivers his fourth artist album. Armin van Buuren is proud to present to you: ‘Mirage’. Armin:“Mirage has been the biggest project I’ve ever worked on. There’s so many hours in this. Work started two years ago when I actually built a completely new studio for this project. Many new techniques were used and most of all I had so much fun creating this with the many people that are involved. It was a journey, an epic one!”

‘76’, ‘Shivers’ and ‘Imagine’ are still etched in memory of millions of dance music lovers. Fresh memories will be made as soon as the album hits stores on September 10th 2010. ‘Mirage’ reveals a side of Armin his fans haven’t heard yet and takes in its listeners with new and surprising collaborations. Within the 2 years of endless jamming and producing, Armin invited artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ferry Corsten, BT, Nadia Ali, Guy Chambers, Christian Burns and Adam Young of Owl City into his studio.

As the first single of the album, Armin chose ‘Full Focus’, an instrumental track set to fill arenas, clubs and scorch across the festival terrains set up for the summer of 2010. Armin:“The first track of the album has been a sure shot in my sets for quite a while now. I decided to come back with an instrumental trancer right before summer and all the big festivals. Half of my new album will be instrumental trance, but with the sound of 2010.”

Right after summer, it’s time for the full ‘Mirage’ album to take over. Inspired and influenced by many different types of music, ‘Mirage’ is more diverse than any other Armin album before. His collaboration with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, ‘Not Giving Up On Love’ is a perfect example of that, combining the best of both worlds. Armin:“The Nervo Sisters, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and me met up to write the vocals for ‘Not Giving Up On Love’. I was thrilled to work with them on this. We gave it a more analog feel with some real drums, to give it a pop-rock feel. We also put a piano top line on the track and then the vocals of Sophie, which I think is a win. It’s a lush summer tune with an epic vocal that gets stuck in your head and cheers you up!”

‘Mirage’ is filled with musical fusions and surprising interpretations, from the orchestral masterpiece of title track ‘Mirage’, deep trance track ‘I Don’t Own You’ and housy ‘Feels So Good’ to the eerie ‘Take A Moment’ and feel-good ‘Drowning’. 16 tracks that highlight how Armin has matured as an artist.

Mirage will be in stores September 10th 2010.

''but with the sound of 2010''

I'm curious.. I'm a bit scared it will be a sort of 'Kaleidoscope'
Hop it will be banging with Ferry, BT & Christian Burns.. Those names are great.

How can you not like BT's voice? o_o
He has the best male-vocal I've ever heard I think.

I Agree BT is a one of the best male vocalists...I may check all these tracks, I wont be someone quick to judge him and say some tracks wont be good, some may sound better than the ones you pick out before its released...

Indeed! Its really awesome. But you can make all voices sound awesome with autotune.

So far I didn't hear anything good ...
Or maybe because I'm residing in an uplifting phase

Me neither.
Maybe he should try making some uplifting for the album. Oh, wait, I don't think Benno is any experienced in making that?

No indeed, even the track with Ferry sucks!
Now I hope BT did the magic touch to 'These Silent Hearts'.
I didn't even listened all the promo's .. because of the tracks I díd listened .. No comment

[Freidrich]

I'll listen to it for sure but I'm a little scare about this album...
