Trance classics meet the new generation once again! Episode 3 of the Captivating series goes back to the start of the new millennium and from there to today's trance music. The set starts gentle with the laidback vocal tracks of Way Out West, José Amnesia & Jennifer Rene and the epic progressive tune "Apollo Vibes" by Pole Folder & CP. More uplifting is Omnia & IRA's "The Fusion" - this one hits the right spot with that very catchy and massive sounding melody!
The first 65 minutes are closed with one of Armin's better tunes - although not strictly full on trance, "Wall Of Sound" brings a good combination of trance sounds, a breakbeat and wonderful vocals by Justine Suissa and followed by the wonderful beatless intro of "The New World" by Markus Schulz.
The second part of this 2½ hours set is more energetic with uplifting tracks by Whiteroom, Johan Gielen, Motorcycle, Lange & Gareth Emery and RMB.The set closes with one of my all time favorites: Airwave's "Ladyblue".
