tiesto - ancient history

what you guys think of this tune? i havn'et been into to much stuff from tiesto lately, but this song is really cool. I really like that pan flute solo!

I really like this track a lot . The different "Screaming" sounds that are in there is amazing, and i love the drum/breakdown beat in the middle. The flute rocks, and the ending is amazing when everything comes together. I can imagine hearing this track in a club and place going nuts.
Definitly one of the better tracks on Parade of the Athletes!!

Really gets the Olympic/Greek spirit IMO. Great work.

Great track indeed. I liked when Armin played it on ASOT and everyone hated it for all of the reasons why I like it. They didn't like the drums and they didn't like the pan flute. I would rather hear that than some of the other pads+vocals tracks on that show.

^ most of the hardcore melodic tranceheads are very narrowminded and not very diverse. unless it has the same sound they expect they won't like it (thats my generalization for today) i like this song for the reason its different, and a very cool idea by tiesto to make a song in this format. Ppl have to expand their range. trance for me is #1, but theres a lot more great stuff out there then just that.

I really like this track, and it's made way into my top 20 for the year. The only production on Parade of Athletes worth much of anything at all, really. Live would likely be killer. It really stands out.

I agree, it's nice to hear something different. Only this track and Heroes are the tracks that have stood the test of time for me from that album - maybe Breda 8pm as well.

It's starting to become my favourite track from the album... nice to see that Tiesto can still produce some original sounding stuff despite his position.

I can't find something interesting in this track like in the whole Parade Of The Athletes album (maybe expect 3 tracks )....Not the best track made by Tijs IMO...

isnt this the "tribal" mix of lethal industry?

Amen.

Sandstorm: I don't know about a tribal mix, as the melody isn't anything like it. It just samples a couple of things from Lethal.

The percussion seems lifted straight from Lethal Industry. But I don't particularly mind, because I loved the mechanical growl of Lethal and imo it works well here as a tribal backdrop to the main synths.

No.. there's Lethal Industry 2004 which is different.. just LI with some more percussion & a few chopped up bits of the riff scattered around. This is a different tune together although it samples a few parts from LI.

I don't really like it
but this track is made for Greece...
heroes is better IMO

+1

Massive tune for me a lot better than the tunes from Just Be + it can be played by non trance djs.

no it isnt, its just a tribal mix of li that tiesto made for the olympics...lol im sure of it... i know li 2004 is different...

its nothing amazing

...believe me or not it doesnt matter...

its def just a "remix" of li

Posted by DJ_Hailstone on Dec-05-2004 09:22:

I dont like this song very much. It is very boring imo, and the breakdown is very simple. One of the weakest songs on Parade of Athletes

Posted by knowname on Dec-07-2004 04:02:

Its my fave tune at the mo. Definitely kicks ass!!! I hope he plays it on the 15th.

Eh, are you saying Ancient History is a tribal remix of Lethal Industry? If that is what you are saying then you are wrong. Tiesto wrote in the liner notes of the Parade of the Athletes cd that Ancient History is a free interpretation of a song called "Zanaradikos" by Thrace.

That's a negatory. He sampled some of the percs and stuff, but for it to be a true "remix," then the tune would have to have the melody, or something quite similar to it. It doesn't.
