An early ASOT episode from the first year of the show, before it became a global institution.
This 2001 A State Of Trance entry captures Armin van Buuren during a key stretch of classic trance history. Armin van Buuren emerged from the Dutch scene with a melodic, radio-friendly trance style that would later anchor A State Of Trance. A State Of Trance became a central radio archive for melodic trance, tracking the sound as it moved from club records into a global community. Kept here as a reference point for the archive, it helps show how the sound evolved in pacing, melody and club context.
