Review|Imagine (2008)


Category: Music
Genre: Dance & DJ
Artist: Armin van Buuren

Current World's No. 1 DJ Armin van Buuren is back with another artist album. I've been listening to it and here are my thoughts.

The 1st track caught me off guard for a bit. I was really trying to figure out what was happening with the track with the piano and guitar solos. Then it finally goes into what we want... TRANCE! Yes, yes, and YES this album is just that straight up trance. Going Wrong (lead single) is my current fave it has that anthem feel [sort of like Love You More but a bit faster]. AvB went with various female talent for his other vocal trance tracks but was able to maintain the album's flow. It wasn't everywhere all at once and actually had a nice flow to it. The vocals and production were top notch. I'm really liking Hold On To Me (ft. Audrey Gallagher) also In and Out of Love (ft. Sharon den Adel) [back to back gems!], Fine Without You (ft Jennifer Rene) is one of the tracks I liked as well.

He's been busy touring and with his weekly radio show but still manages to put out a nice trance album. We should be seeing these tracks in DJ sets, compilations, and hopefully remixes very very very soon.

A word from the Cobra Emperor:

Get this album NOW. This, I command!

Elopocalypse or Balmergeddon

So which is it? Nokia (NOK) and Microsoft (MSFT) announced a partnership today. Both lumbering companies have been in some trouble with their smartphone divisions. Both have been loosing market share to Apple, Android and Blackberry in recent years. WindowsMobile (previously PocketPC and currently WindowsPhone) once the dominant mobile OS, yes folks before the iPhone came into power Microsoft slowly but surely killed of it’s main competitor palm OS, which was acquired by hp last year and is now barely a sliver of a shadow of it’s former former former self. Just this week hp/palm unveiled 2 new smartphones the palm Pre 3 and Veer, as well as their entry into the tablet space with the TouchPad. hp being one of the top computer manufacturers at the moment has the resources to use and spread webOS like a creamy peanut butter across all markets they are in. By being one of MSFT’s biggest customers now suddenly not using Windows7 (still MSFT’s tablet OS of choice) and churning out comp...

Darth Kegaw to Treo 750: It is Useless to Resist

I have never been one to keep my devices *as is* when it comes to the OS/Firmware… This 2nd Treo 750 will be no different. So I dusted off my old Cheetah files [trivia: the Treo 750 is codenamed HTC Cheetah] and decided to HARD SPL [this allows for non-carrier branded ROMs to be loaded] and flashed it to a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM. Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen… and the ROM loaded without any issues. I did notice that Microsoft Voice Command 1.6 was not included in this ROM not really a problem since I own the software as well.  I’m currently syncing my PIM data and will be installing my apps over the next few days.

Coron Labor Day Weekend Getaway

The weather wasn’t as cooperative as we would’ve liked but I think we made the most of it :D [waiting for our flight to Busuanga] We went to the saltwater hot spring, island hoping, and had a whole lot of fun at Loralee’s luau.
