Both Armin van Buuren and Gareth Emery have artist albums coming out this September. IMO, these are two of the very best DJs/producers in the business.

Armin Van Buuren - Mirage

gareth.
armins style is getting boring, gareth mixes a lot of progressive, electro and trance, his sets are always amazing.

[Vansterdam]

hard to tell which album be better when they not even out yet LOL

but i think gareth might pwn armin on this album

[BlackV62K2]

I've been really impressed with Gareth's production and remixes over the past year or so. Tough to say but I think Gareth might have an edge over Armin. Unless Armin goes back to his trance/progressive roots a bit. I do like Full Focus though :).

[Amaru]

I agree with you guys. Gareth fucking rocks. I could easily see him breaking into the top 5 as soon as this year's DJ Mag poll.

Apparently Mirage is going to be Armin's most "diverse" album yet. I don't know what that means... maybe some bizarre shit like Tiesto's last album (Furtado? Really?). Or maybe a more Ferry Corsten type album with unique tracks that don't really fit into any genre (think "On My Mind" or "Cubikated").

Anyway, I'm going to listen to both from start to finish, no doubt about that. We're long overdue for a good artist album in the trance world imo.

[TheStreetDream]

If its based on the first single, Gareth got this haha, but you'll never know until you hear both album. Armin is a sneaky bastard and might pull something out of his dutch ass.
