[Release Notes]
It's the
album the entire dance scene has been waiting for.
After months
of hard work and creativity, the
number one DJ in the world delivers his
fourth
artist album. Armin van Buuren is proud to present
to you:
'Mirage'. Armin: \"Mirage has
been the biggest project I've ever
worked
on. There's so many hours in this.
Work started two years ago when I
actually
built a completely new studio for this project.
Many new
techniques were used and most of all I
had so much fun creating this with
the many
people that are involved. It was a journey, an
epic one!\" '76',
'Shivers' and
'Imagine' are still etched in memory of
millions of dance
music lovers. Fresh memories
will be made as soon as the album hits
stores
on September 10th 2010. 'Mirage' reveals a
side of Armin his fans
haven't heard yet
and takes in its listeners with new and
surprising
collaborations. Within the 2 years
of endless jamming and producing,
Armin invited
artists like Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ferry Corsten,
BT, Nadia
Ali, Guy Chambers, Christian Burns
and Adam Young of Owl City into
his
studio.

As the first single of the
album, Armin chose 'Full Focus',
an
instrumental track set to fill arenas, clubs
and scorch across the
festival terrains set up
for the summer of 2010. Armin:\"The first
track
of the album has been a sure shot in my
sets for quite a while now. I
decided to come
back with an instrumental trancer right before
summer and
all the big festivals. Half of my
new album will be instrumental trance,
but with
the sound of 2010.\"

Right after summer,
it's time for the full 'Mirage' album
to take over.
Inspired and influenced by many
different types of music, 'Mirage'
is
more diverse than any other Armin album
before. His collaboration with
Sophie
Ellis-Bextor, 'Not Giving Up On Love' is a
perfect example of
that, combining the best of
both worlds. Armin:\"The Nervo Sisters,
Sophie
Ellis-Bextor and me met up to write the
vocals for 'Not Giving Up On
Love'. I
was thrilled to work with them on this. We gave it
a more analog
feel with some real drums, to
give it a pop-rock feel. We also put a
piano
top line on the track and then the vocals of
Sophie, which I think
is a win. It's a lush
summer tune with an epic vocal that gets stuck
in
your head and cheers you
up!\"

'Mirage' is filled with
musical fusions and surprising
interpretations,
from the orchestral
masterpiece of title track 'Mirage', deep
trance
track 'I Don't Own You' and
housy 'Feels So Good' to the eerie
'Take A
Moment' and feel-good
'Drowning'. 16 tracks that highlight how
Armin has
matured as an artist.
