Van Buuren, Armin - Intense (CD)

Armin: Intense embraces more genres than any of my other albums, crossing over from progressive and trance to classic, even rock. Being a perfectionist, some of these tracks have taken me months to finish. Incorporating as many real instruments as possible, it includes a live orchestra, as well as the rock band of my brother Eller. It s been an honour to work with such talented artists, singers and songwriters, they ve really inspired me. It s been an intense 3 years in the making, but I m very pleased with the result.

From the intricate and mind-blowing cadenza that is Intense to the feel-good This Is What It Feels Like and Turn This Love Around . From the quieting beat-ballad of Sound of The Drums to Armin s dedication to the harder shades of his beloved trance, Who s Afraid of 138?! . For you to understand its story, there s no reading between the lines. Intense deserves your full attention, from the first beat until the very last note of silence.
