A promo copy was released (illegally) on the 'net, but the actual CD itself doesn't come out until October 18th.

tiesto my asssssss. Holden should be the one on the parade!!!!im sure he would do a f*cking great job playing some serious avantgarde proggy shit specially designed for the olympics!!!oh well u cant have everything...

Prog at the Olympics would've been like Roseanne Barr singing the United States National Anthem at a baseball game....it could be good, but it sure as hell would be in the wrong place.

Eh....

Traffic: Quite acceptable.

Lethal Industry: Why the fuck? Gotta give you a point for that one.

I'm a bit confused...

Is the CD actually mixed or just filled with shortened/edited versions of the tracks like he did with traffic, nyana, and adagio on Just Be?

Because he played it at the Olympics. That's the point of this CD.

No, I mean why WOULD you play this at the Olympics? Just seems a bit out of place to me.

I like the new tunes

Well it seems in place to me. I guess that's personal opinion, and will warrant who uses the skip button on their CD player.

They are releasing a 2 colored vinyls of the songs!!!

Loooking forward very much to the vinyl

Dunno if I would get the vinyl album, because the only songs I like are Heroes and Breda 8PM. The others are also good, but nothing special IMO.

Alright, so i just checked out the CD.

Is it worth the 15 bucks in the CD bins? Doubtful.
But i will say, its a great CD for any new tranceaddict looking for something with a little bit more oomph or someone needing workout music. It's a little bit too linear IMO, not sure why. Athena is a GREAT track though, its got a real depth to it. I think it's time people put aside their Tiesto opinions and just picked it up with an unbiased ear..though its hard cause most of you guys (and gals) are pretty set in your tastes, not to say that im not, cause i definitely have a sound of my own, matter fact, ive been vastly disappointed with trance in the past few months, but putting that aside.

This CD is pretty good, A great opening and follow up with the second track. It's really got that "i will conquer" mood to it, which i dont really like, but thats ok, this WAS for the olympics, so its sort of expected. You'll hear reminders of a lot of tiesto's past productions. I must say, IM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING ADAGIO EVERYWHERE

As for this event in general: This release is different from all his previous ones because this is one of the few where he didnt take his previous listeners into account. This was played for people who hadnt had much exposure to trance really, so its not gonna be like all the other ones and its definitely not like his previous releases from the past two years.

word.

That's what I love about this genre of music. No bandwagons of people either liking or FORCING themselves to like certain tracks.

You forgot about ASOT. But that's a whole different rant.

Never got into it. Listened to a few episodes, but I didn't like any of them.

That was my point.

Hehe

Oh yea...

What was the topic of this thread again?

Posted by Abhay on Sep-20-2004 14:32:

UNderground/commercial

Ahh....

Here we go again... the timeless arguement and debate over commercialism/underground..

Commercialism:
-Recognition
-Exposure.
-Dollar.
-Mechanisation of music
-Death of Rap (the original rap, not the new adultered stuff)
-Death of a lot of raggae
-Construction of shit pop music with no meaning, and glamour girls

Underground:
-Creativity
-New Artists
-Community Feeling
-Underground Feeling
-Even if your good, no-one has heard of you or your music..

THE MOMENT TRANCE IS COMMERCIALISED... IS THE MOMENT WE START BLEEDING IT FOR MONEY...

Let's keep the balance huh?

Posted by MichaelBoogerd! on Sep-20-2004 14:46:

Tiesto doesn't have any dollars... he has euro's.

and a trivial point like that is about as valid as bitching about commercialisation of dance music when regarding a CD from a respected artist on the scene.

Everyone has pleaded, begged, practically cried until BHC have shown mercy and released something from the olympics - even part-mixing it to make it feel like THE actual set.

Now its here, u've gone from whinening for its pending release, to whineing WHY its released at all.

FFS grow up people.

As already mentioned... Its not Hard House Euphoria 984... its just a CD the FANS requested... and are now getting. If its not ur bag... dont buy it and shut the fuck up. I hate ASOT and don't bother listening every week... do u see me attacking every Armin thread on the board?

I, for one, am very grateful for this cd. I can't stop playing it.
