Shivers - Armin Van Buuren

[bigsteve]

Out Monday. The samplers on Chemical are sounding good 8)

Thought you were on about the single release - then actually went to chemical and realised it's his new album!?

[JasonB]

Yeah Juno got em too, three 12's.

I might have to get a cheeky download of it for my brand spanking new iPod :wink:

The first sampler is class simply cos its got Zocolo and Empty state on, the two tunes he's done with Gabriel & Dresden and Mic Burns respectively.

However i checked out the second sampler in 3 shades yesterday and its awful, Bounce Back (with remy & roland klinkenberg) is deep house, Gypsy is breaks and Control Freak is a blatant rip off of Right of Way by ferry.

Add to that the fact that Serenity is trying oh so hard to sound like Tiesto's Adagio and Shivers is clearly stealing the melody from Angelic's its my turn and you have the make up for a very poor album indeed.

Generally i'm gutted, Armin's previous works have been class but it seems he's lost his way.

birth of an angel is miles better than shivers imo.

hmm, i think zocolo is probably the best tune on there, really good stuff (what else can u expect from g & b??!!)

I liked control freak - i thought i recognised it!!!

this album is pretty average at best. no where near the standard of communication and blue fear

I listened to both the album samplers just the other day, got quite excited, and I have to say I put them back in the rack pretty quickly, was very disappointed with the tunes on there
