Reddit mentions of State of Trance 500

A State of Trance 500 - Official Armada Website / Amazon / Spotify / Discogs

Probably one of my favorite compilations ever, and definitely my favorite of the ASOT compilation series. It's also notable for being a collaboration between 5 different DJs, Armin, Paul Oakenfold, Markus Schulz, Cosmic Gate and Andy Moor. I really like the combination of old classics and newer tunes that are still memorable. It was also one of the first compilations I bought when I started exploring Trance about 5 years ago.

Anyways, some of my personal favorite tunes are:

• Peter Martijn Wijnia presents Majesta vs DJ Shah feat. Adrina Thrope – Who Will Find Me In The End (Armin van Buuren Mash Up)
  
• L.S.G. – Netherworld (Oliver Prime Remix)
  
• Armin van Buuren presents Gaia – Status Excessu D (ASOT 500 Theme)
  
• Interstate – I Found You
  
• Paul Oakenfold – Tokyo
  
• Perry O’Neil – Wave Force
  
• Funabashi – Daylight
  
• Pulser – My Religion
  
• Cosmic Gate – Ultra Curve
  
• Super8 & Tab – Helsinki Scorchin’
  
• Niklas Harding presents Arcane – Ice Beach
  
  I especially like how each mix seems to have it's own character. I am most definitely reading to much into this, but each different DJ chose track corresponding more closely to his style. Personally I like CDs 1 and 5 the most but nevertheless it's a great compilation.
