Synopsis

Amazon.com

Dubbed the It genre of 1999, trance music saw its DJs' bookings rise to unprecedented heights. Though most of the DJs getting recognition were European superstars, Americans like Sandra Collins and Miami's George Acosta have caught a bit of the media hype. Awake displays Acosta's penchant for the superbombastic epics that helped him carve his name at Miami's Shadow Lounge. He plays the kind of trance that is unrelenting, with elongated builds, pregnant pauses punctuated by trebly traces, and hyper melodies. Acosta's style sits somewhere between German pretty boy Paul Van Dyk and big guns Sasha and Digweed, managing to be hard and happy at the same time. Though it's somewhat psychedelic, Awake is classic epic trance, favoring big sounds, big swoops, and big meltdowns over little squiggly noises. --Tricia Romano

CD Reviews

If this cd doesnt get you moving ...NOTHING will

Michael Mayhem | Greenville,SC | 05/09/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"After purchasing "Tranceport",I heard this album playing in Best Buy one day,I had to purchase it right away or I would loose my mind.A buddy of mine working at the store introduced me to this bad ass Miami dj named George Acosta.I put this one in my player,all it took was the 1st 4 songs to get me addicted to trance!No and I repeat NO dj can put out mixes like this ....Acosta is the world's best dj and can mix like no other,the transitions are perfect,it all sounds like one track!George is my favorite dj in which I own every cd of his,this is my 2nd favorite only by a hair to his recently released "Lost World"...Both are incredible and if you plan on getting into Acosta but this one 1st,because it will introduce you to the world of Epic trance.Dont let amateurs fool you into believing that Tiesto or Paul Van Dyk are the best,give this dj a listen and you'll see what I mean by that.If you enjoy Acosta you will love Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Buuren (2 of my favorite dj's)If you are a dance music fan you WILL have this album!"

Favorite CD for 5 Years Running

"This has been my favorite CD ever since it came out - it never leaves my car, even when friends beg to borrow it. I can't say enough good things about it. It fits every mood perfectly - when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when I'm angry, when it's raining, when it's sunny, when I'm running late, when I'm taking my time...it's the best driving CD in the world!"
