Can't wait for Armin ONLY


This is Armin's latest track, it is planned for Armin ONLY, April 19. Since my visa expired (almost a year ago actually), I can't really leave the country until I get my new one, so another Armin ONLY I have to miss, but I preordered the DVD, so I should be all set to see it ... sooner or later.

I am happy to see Armin working with DJ Shah, their styles are fairly different, but I really like the blend. Shah's chilled, beachy tunes are really great against Armin's sound, I hope there's more after "Going Wrong". Very well done!

Strawberry fields forever


Across the Universe was a very good movie - all of the Beatles' songs had great interpretation, however Strawberry Fields is my favorite by far!

I've always wondered what my life would have been if I lived in the sixties - so many riots and changes, I am sure I wouldn't have been bored :) But back to the movie, the scenes were very rich in symbols and emotions, and I was really happy to notice that most of the main characters had names from Beatles' songs! Another really unique thing about this movie is the live signing from the actors - according to the extra features on the DVD most of the songs were performed live, not lip synced, how often do we see that? Maybe this is the main reason why the soundtrack is so captivating - well known and loved songs got a new life in this movie. You should definitely see it!
