About This Song
About "A State of Trance (ASOT 1201) (Intro)" by Armin Van Buuren
The opening invocation of ASOT 1201—a ceremonial threshold, synth washes swelling like a curtain lifting on a cathedral of sound. Van Buuren's intro is pure anticipation, calm before the storm of a year-end mix. It's the held breath before the drop, ritual space carved out of radio static.
