Neither trance nor rated by anyone.

I also think Out of the Blue is really given an unfair rap by too many. To me its a really fun track, with that character in the percussion and bass that says "I'm just an energetic fun mofo", rather than taking itself seriously.

Airwave makes me sick, it's so utterly horrific. Xpander is over-rated, but it has a moody charm and is a lot more entrancing than most trance.

Stuff I find over-rated:

JOOF's Mix of Caf� del Mar. I was expecting something from this, after hearing the hype of various TAs, but it turned out to be over-long and blossomed into the Three 'N One mix, but a lot quieter. Boo hiss.

Oliver Lieb's Mix of Lost Vagueness. Cool spooky female robot voices a good track do not make.

Flight 643. If one Tiesto track is over-rated, it's this one. It doesn't even have a tune, it sounds like Tiesto banged a keyboard with his elbow until he got something interesting out of it. Not to mention the breakdown doing sweet FA. Ironically, I think Lieb did the best mix of this one, although controversially I liked the vocal remake.

BT- Remember. Ugh. A clever little guitary bit goes to total waste when the sounds of a pre-school talent show are passed off as vocals on this track.

It's true that the JOOF mix draws from the Three 'n One, but is there a mix of Cafe del Mar since the Three 'n One that doesn't?

I think it's easily the best Cafe del Mar remix since the Three 'n One. It brings a completely different attitude to the track, very driving and moody, something with often fails in remix efforts.

I like the Lieb remix, but I agree it's quite overrated.

Probably Tiesto's best, imo.

It was groundbreaking. Nothing else sounded like Flight 643 at the time, especially not in the trance mainstream. The gamble Tiesto played with Flight 643 is huge; it was a significant departure from his tried-and-true sound, and could easily have been his biggest flop because of that risk. It's still every bit as energetic as it was new, perhaps moreso.

Totally agree!

Oliver lieb remix isn't all that bad

i'm afraid i'll have to say marco v's production of caf� del mar, its a little overrated cause he's like one of the best canadian trance artists (the only canadian trance artist?)

as well as that: [insert a tiesto track here]

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but Marco V is Dutch.

err...no. Traffic is completely useless and shouldn't have even been engendered.

Listen to Psykofuk - Psykofuk

I have. I like Traffic much more than Psykofuk, and have seen its effect on the dancefloor time and again.

People are entitled to their taste; I'm not saying anyone is 'right' or 'wrong' on this. But it seems such a shame to dislike Traffic given how plain cool of a track it is to experience for so many others.

Fair enough. All the same though, virtually any Tiesto production is bound to have a substantial effect upon the dancefloor; whether it's Traffic or Just Be, people who go to a Tiesto gig often know what to anticipate and dance their tits off whether he's spinning his own stuff or even DJ Sammy, I daresay.

I understand what you're saying, but I really disagree on this one. Traffic has been an exception to that rule in my experience. I've seen the half-hearted enthusiasm of a crowd reacting simply out of recognition value -- Just Be as one of the most pathetic examples -- and it doesn't match the vibe Traffic brings to the floor. The contrast is striking.

In fact, the best reaction I've seen from Traffic occured when PvD spun it in 2003 at Central Park. Funny that the most electrifying track of the Paul-only night was a Tiesto production.

As much as it pains me to admit, this is something I can't objectively prove to you. But others on this board have said as much.

A lot of my friends who don't listen to EDM at all, give special attention to Traffic. Even when I first played the Just Be CD to them two years ago, they made a note of Traffic righ away, so its more then just Tiesto hype. Tiesto knows what people want.

If you look at the tune objectively, then its merits come to show. It exploits the dancefloor atmosphere and mentality, to make a very strong energy builder track.

I've even spun Traffic myself, at parties where 95% of those attending had no idea who made it or what it was called, and it had the same effect. The dancefloor just lights up.

How many copies of Traffic were sold?

AAAAH!

Spastik...I think we should figure that one out first.

yeah and Darude - Sandstorm always put the dancefloor on fore, or Zombie Nation. Doesn't mean that those tracks are like heavenly.
as a matter of fact both are better than Traffic

oh yeah Silence (Tiesto remix) is very very overrated too.

Lost Vaugueness is not overrated. I would say underrated. Most ASOT-ppl haven't even heard of it, or any other Lieb productions. It's too "deep" for them. Assholes

Most overated crap = sasha on abelton, and any thing to do with and or by markus schulz

This is the problem with most people here. It doesn't matter how many people have heard it, it matters how highly rated it is by those who have. And I say there's nothing special about it at all.

By the way... Traffic sold almost nothing outside of Holland.

Totally goes to Planet Perfecto, "Bullet in the gun"

Released over and over, like stamping on something until it's dead (and boring to start with!)

I agree, definitely high up there.
