Above & Beyond ‎– Tri-State

Tri-state is flawless. The only album ever to move me to tears, this debut by Above & Beyond is one of the most beautiful and emotional albums ever produced. It will take you to places you have never known of, will rouse in you feelings you never thought music could. Tri-state for me is the ultimate artist album, pure magi. If anyone were ever to question the artistic significance of Trance, I would play them this album. Tri-state is a work of art, so beautifully mixed together that it is one long, flawless experience of feeling and emotion. This cd is by far the greatest musical album I have ever heard in my life, and it changed everything - my perception on music as well as my perception on life. Tri-State is pure untainted art in its most beautiful form

The last time I played an entire cd and actually listened to the entire album with this much excitement and appreciation was after hearing Armin Van Buuren's 76. This collection grabs you from the word go and then smoothly takes you along for a bit of a cruise. This is a work of love and I feel so fortunate to have found it, again after being entranced by the single, Alone Tonight.

These musos have an amazing connection and they brilliantly lay it out for us to share, to observe. Substance like this is rare but even more so is an artist's ability to capture his listener. That's what hearing Tristate for the first time felt like to me.

Peace,

Yes Above and Beyond was voted "Future Favorite" on the 266th A State of Trance (2006-09-14) with track feat. Zoë Johnston - Good For Me (Club Mix), means the album still has it in my opinion. Tri-state is an album that has simply great trance rhythms with lush vocals and trance elements beats in tracks; Air For Life, Can't Sleep, Alone Tonight, Good For Me and home for example. These favorites and others make this certainly a worthy digipak to own, including a slick 12 page booklet about the group. Nice CD

This album is awesome! When i got it i listened to it all day and got more & more excited about it. It's a mixture of very unlike tracks which makes the cd very easy to listen to and like. Above & Beyond really knows what they're doing!!
