In my memory is, in my opinion, the classic Tiesto album. Perhaps this is because it was the first that I bought, but probably because the tracks are not the usual generic trance rubbish, but genuinly original and 'evolving' tracks that really grow on you.
On your first listen, pop in CD2 - the 'remixes' CD, and start from track 1. 'Magik journey' is the sort of track that we see far too little of on the trance scene - mellow, yet a track that in a few minutes will grow on you. This is definitly one for listening to - not really for dancing. The rest of the CD is equally alluring - sparkles is another less 'pumping' tune, but again one that is striking and a joy to listen to. As the CD progresses, we move into true Tiesto classics - pick your mix of 'flight 643', and 'Urban Train'. There are no dud tracks here - at first listen you will skip to the better known ones, but as time progresses you will enjoy almost all of the CD equally.
CD1 provides you with the original mixes of the tracks - both interesting, but also really good: this makes you realise that original is best (with Tiesto anyway). If the track needed to be made better, he would have made it that way. Put the volume on your (good I hope) system up, and enjoy the building pressure of 'Suburban Train'; an truely immense track that builds, builds, and then crashes down. If this fails to give you goosebumps, then no Trance will. Go put on some generic 'nu punk' or whatever the kiddies of today are currently listening to.
This is a fairly rare breed of Trance album - ususally, single DJ albums are short on great tracks, and all too often 'compliation mixes' contain filler, or tracks that work well live or in a mix, but badly when played over and over again. This album works so well - Tiesto has simply made a large number of tracks, each with their unique style, but ones that sit well together. In my memory is a single DJ trance album that really does work.
Since purchasing this album, it has been consistently played by me, and has won over some sceptical friends. It provides the excellent production and DJing skills of DJ Tiesto in a package that is a little different from traditional 'mix albums'. A must buy for any Trance fan.
