In my opinion it's sad to see that (some) people have to gain or maintain their popularity this way. Disappointing, & shameless to burn down these absolute classics Armin.... 1/5

I was quite excited when hearing some of these tracks in the ASOT radio show, in advance of the release of the full album. I think it is always a great idea to reach back to classic tracks, if production aims at quality. Armin's versions seem to bridge the stylistic gap quite well.

Although the much appreciated 'old school' sounds and production styles (with the iconic synths and effects) have been largely abandoned as music production went entirely digital, the last couple of years saw a steady re-emergence, with software synthesis becoming more and more nuanced.

Will this album lead to more productions following suit? I for one would be excited to hearing more tracks reaching back to various EDM styles as it would not just allow more variety but make dance music more consistent with its past. 5/5.
