Says who? An interview of Nick's I read said the name is meant to refer to a chicane on a racetrack; his productions are meant to make you slow down in an otherwise busy environment. Not to say you're necessarily wrong, and he could easily have intended it to mean a couple things anyway.

right...Chupacabras was a supposed 'monster' that came out 6-8 years ago, i think, sucking the blood out of goats and scaring the hell out of kids.
but, in this case, it's the three characters from the movie 'Zurdo'
the three evil ones, the bad guys; this song was played when they were chasing the main character.

i could easily explain the meaning behind all his tracks in that soundstrack,
but they all have a reference to the movie, in one way or another. i don't think i'd be worth it.

the meaning of carte blanche

I haven't read all post. Sorry if this has been said but the term "CARTE BLANCHE" means to be free and we can do anything we want. It's an expression in french that means go ahead and think what you want, do what you wanna do. It's the best meaning we can have there because I live in Qu�bec city, canada and it's a popular expression of french speaking.

Also, i have talk with tiesto this weekend in a live set At Dogobert Bar and i asked what is the meaning of the name of you new album Nyana and answer "it's the name of a popular female monkey in africa that i saw on a trip this year"...

madness as two

yeah! here's ehere my medical knowledge can come in. Folie A Deux is a technical term in psychiatry, which is the situation when one person has a delusion (= an unshakable false belief which cannot be justified on the grounds of the society, culture or religious belief), another person, usually the signifcant other, would share the same delusion and yet this significant other do not have any psychiatric illness.

which, as far as i know, has no deeper meaning whatsoever.

There is a Pulverturm in prague. It is a gothic tower originally built in the 13th C, and the current one is rebuilt in 1875.

Of course, there may be more Pulverturm in other places
