INTENSE -HQ-/VINYLE NOIR AUDIOPHILE 180GR/POCHETTE GATEFOLD

Description

First cooperation between Armada Music and Music on Vinyl. The second LP recording of Armin Van Buuren's critically acclaimed fifth album, 'Intense', featuring the Grammy-nominated single "This Is What It Feels Like." Across 15 sparkling songs, it intrigues, fascinates, and moves listeners. Including collaborations with Israeli violinist Miri Ben-Ari, Australian duo NERVO, and vocalists such as Trevor Guthrie, Emma Hewitt, Laura Jansen, Fiora, and many other talented artists. In 2014, it was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Dance Recording for his single "This Is What It Feels Like" featuring Trevor Guthrie, making him the fourth trance artist to receive a Grammy Award nomination. For Armin, "Intense encompasses more genres than any of my other albums, ranging from progressive and trance to classical, and even rock. As a perfectionist, some of these tracks took me months to complete. Incorporating as many real instruments as possible, it includes a live orchestra as well as my brother Eller's rock band. It was an honor to work with talented artists, singers, and composers; they truly inspired me. These last three years have been intense, but I'm very happy with the result." Armin van Buuren is a born perfectionist, striving to stay at the top of the scene he helped build. As a flag-bearer for the trance movement, he is one of the most influential EDM personalities in the world. Even though he leads an extraordinary life as one of the most popular DJs globally, he has always remained a down-to-earth guy. His five-time number one spot in Poll Mag's critically acclaimed Top 100 DJs was the result of his loyalty to fans, creativity in the studio, the perseverance with which he hosts his weekly radio show "A State of Trance," and the energy he brings to the crowd in front of him. Despite the resulting strong pressure as one of the world's most popular DJs, Armin has always focused his attention on the music. And that's exactly what keeps him going. 'Intense' is finally available as a 2 LP limited edition of 1,500 copies on intense colored vinyl (turquoise and white blend). The package includes an insert with lyrics.
