yeah I have to agree that the planning couldve been better on that
But Im sure you noticed the amount of buzz created by maybe one or two single lines in that press release that weren't even to clear about wether ISOS was coming or not.
Id say it was a ploy from the marketing team, which clearly had everyone guessing right up until the announcement itself

Even when everything else Tiesto went wrong. The ISOS comps still worked for me. Will check this out for sure.

finally an compilation name that fits the bill, because in general 90% of asia is shit music.


Posted by Sykonee on May-07-2008 14:28:

I have to admit I'm somewhat amused by the vast geographical differences between locale titles: from a tiny European island to a massive continent. Yet I wouldn't be surprised if Tijs ignores all but the most cliche styles of music associated with 'Asia' (re: the Orient). Dammit, I want me some traditional Irkutsk folk singing with me trancey beats!

I said it before, I'll say it again:
If he makes a Goa/psy compilation, people will shit bricks.

It could be ISOS Switzerland, and the intro will still be the ebbing and flowing of water.


I was thinking about this too. To me it seems like it's always balearic locations and it's always the same balearic pseudo-exotic sound. Even the stuff heard in that video, it could have been Ibiza or central America, it's always the same style.

That would be awesome.

Not expecting that, though.

He should start it with beautiful sounds of a rain forest, and then suddenly you hear large machinery and equipment come rolling into the forest, engines running, humans shouting, and then trees a fallin' over.

That's realism, not this idealistic shit.

I know! I think PETRAN described it well as "summery-nostalgia-vibe trance" or something like that.

Knowing the people we do, you must have some idea that a bundled PR job is more likely than anything intentional.

same franchise = same sound.

This industry is freakishly coincidental sometimes.

ISOS 8: Uranus


Posted by jastiC on May-07-2008 14:51:

intro.. sound of shit and piss hitting water for the ISOS feel

Yeah. We all know what it is, the acoustic guitars and the occasional piano, the funky but delicate rhythms, a certain type of melodies, waves, birds, everything is soft, warm, relaxed, belearic, summery, tropical islands, eating coconuts, sleeping on the beach, swimming with giant turtles etc.

WOW I have to say I'm actually proud of TA! This could have been a huge thread of Tiesto bashing but instead there is a lot of logical and intelligent commentary being poured into this thread. Granted with the funny quips about the ISOS series and other stuff, I'm not annoyed and actually enjoy reading through this Tiesto thread because people actually can stay on point.

Woo Hoo!

Anyway... someone asked in this thread which songs I heard in ISOS 3 that reminded me of Panama (or Central America).

Noa Assembly - Into the Fire
DJ Hooligan - Hear You Now (Grand Chilles Mix)
Starecase - Faith (Loafer Mix)
Andain - Summer Calling (Josh Gabriel Mix)
Argonout - Your Body Is a Temple
Chiller Twist - Stringz Ultd" (Shelley Mix)
Paul Oakenfold - Southern Sun (DJ Ti�sto Mix)

There is something about the atmosphere of those tracks that if I close my eyes and imagine a big outdoor party along the coast of Panama I can see and feel this music fitting well there. This ISOS had a warm and dark feeling to me, not dark in the Digweed sense, but darker. God it's hard to explain. Bah! It's no use! :P

Well, I don't know all of those tracks, but based on the couple that I do know, I would say either you haven't heard very much Latin American music or that you're just reading too much into the songs.

It's something about the mood and warmth of those songs, not necessarily the "latin sounds." His "Latin America" ISOS had more spanish guitars and such, so I could def point out those elements in that one more easily than this one which is more about the feeling of those tracks for me.

Like I said, perhaps I'm reading too much into them, but I just get that feeling from ISOS:3 can't really get more descriptive beyond that right now unless I really sat and anaylzed it.

"Wasted all this time, searching..."

The vocals on that intro track are awful cheesy, but they get the job done... Girls will surely love this. I'll give it a listen. Oh, and the vocals do carry a point, as someone posted a thread titled "He still hasn't found it"

To me, it just seems like an overhyped mix CD that almost anyone could make in a hotel room or in their bedroom, looking out of the window. In fact, makes me want to do a spoof video - I have a view of a little swamp...

Tijs should do some unglamorous, unexotic location. Like:

In Search of Sunrise 8: Kentucky

And the view is of a broken-down Trans-Am on cinder blocks in front of an old trailer.
