A State of Trance 377 & Ibiza Special

Holy sweet mother of Trance!

My sincerest apologies for such an uber delayed post on ASOT, but I have been getting ass raped having a difficult time at work. This means less time to concentrate on anything other than getting comfort on consolidated financial statements. But I will bore you no more.

Yes, this is the Holy Grail of the best compilation of songs this year. Better than the 2008 year mix and yes, better than even the mighty ASOT 350’s eight hour session! Although this session clocks in at just under 6 hours, the whole thing is epic. Not in size, but the quality of selection on hand. Read through the list again if you don’t believe. Or don’t, just, for the love of all that is Holy and pure in this world, listen to this session!

I cannot implore you enough to put this session on your mp3 player and drown yourself in it’s sheer awesomeness. Mere words cannot do justice to it.

deculture’s head assploded when we listened to this episode, and may you, dear reader, find equal bliss in God’s gift to us trance lovers!
