Yes, its that time of year again, not Thanksgiving, or Christmas, but then time when Armin Van Buuren fans from accross the globe make their vote heard, for the final show down. ArminVanBuuren.net is once again hosting the voting poll for the best tracks of 2007, in the lead up to the XXL end of year mix that is sure to once again bring joy to the new year.

All you have to do is jump on the website and pick the five tracks that you liked the most from this years A State of Trance radio mixes and then Armin plays a mega mix of the favourites.I won’t spill my vote (apart form the obvious – Das Berlin - Til’ the Sky Falls Down), but its always good to get a good mix of the best songs, and not the annoying favourites that are stuck in everyones head as of the last two months or so, so jump on and vote.

Voting closes sometime mid December so be (relatively) quick. And I might see someone, anyone?! at Turnmills in London on December 21st when the man himself plays.

Update (28/11): I was thinking today I should provide some suggestions to the undecided, so here they are:

Ronski Speed (feat Julie Scott) – Love all the Pain Away
Solar Stone – Seven Cities
John O’Callaghan featuring Audrey Gallagher – Big Sky (Agnelli & Nelson Remix)
Jose Amnesia feat. Jennifer Rene – Wouldn’t change a thing (Original mix)

4 Strings – Catch a Fall
Agnelli & Nelson – Sleeping at Airports
Forerunners – Lifecycle

…. To name a few!

The Best Song ever

Shannon Carver — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 16:21:06 +0000

Through much thought and deliberation, I’ve finally decided on the best song ever created. It’s a big call, and no one man should be allowed to make it, or mutter the words for that matter, but I’ll do it anyway. The fact of the matter is, its impossible to make such a call, as noone has exactly the same tastes, and those who do will most probably not like exactly the same thing anyway. But this is a blog, my blog, works streamed from my head, so I call the shots.

Disclaimer: I must say, if you don’t agree with me, and have another suggestion then I’m all ears so please comment.

I’m not an ageist, my criteria for the choice of song means it didn’t have to be brand new. This one has been floating around for a while, and it really gets my Juices flowing.

Scan to 2:11 for the best bit

It’s Dash Berlin – Til the Sky Falls Down. I most recently heard this in Leon Boiler – Intuition Recordings @ Amsterdam Dance Event 18/10/2007.

It forms an elite group (of what must be about a thousand songs) which all rate in my BTMOAT listings, featuring such classics as:

Bedrock – Heaven Scent
Sarah McLachlan – Fear
Sarah McLachlan – Fallen
Karen Overton – Your Loving Arms
Gustavo Santaolalla – The Wings
Holden & Thompson – Come to Me
4 Strings – Sunrise
John O’Callaghan – Big Sky
