Armada Music Holland レコード& CD

Review: Duch label Armada Music takes a pan-global view on this new compilation which focuses on the legacy of house music. Called, smartly, House Legacy, it goes from the deepest of the deep in Joe Smooth's still exquisite house hymn 'Promised Land' to the most catchy vocal sounds in Praise Cat's 'Shined On Me' via the archetypal New York dub house of MK's 'Somebody New.' Alongside other big cuts such as Reese aka Kevin Saunderson's 'Just Want Another Chance' are some lesser-known gems from Olav Basoski, Afro Medusa and Gadjo. A vibrant, melting pot and fine cross-section, then.

Review: Doubling down on nostalgia and limitless euphoria, the second edition of Armada Music's Trance Legacy album series is a must-have for fans of the genre. Including evergreen tracks from Armin van Buuren ('Blue Fear'), ATB ('9 PM (Till I Come)'), Chicane ('Offshore'), Cosmic Gate ('Exploration Of Space'), Paul Van Dyk ('For An Angel'), Rank 1 ('Airwave'), York ('The Awakening') and more, this sophomore installment echoes the timelessness of trance's finest classics and makes sure they'll never be forgotten.
