Friday the 13th of August, the world’s biggest sports event has taken place. After the opening ceremony, everybody agreed that this was one of the most creative and beautiful opening ceremonies, the history of the Olympics has ever known. One performance during the opening amazed billions of people around the world. That night in Athens, Tiësto became the first DJ ever to play during the Official Olympic Opening Ceremony. This event everybody around the world was talking about has been the highlight in the career of Tiësto until now.
Due to all the positive reactions we received on this unique performance at the Opening Ceremony, we’ve decided to release this DJ set for everybody. Tiësto wants to share the special feeling that he felt during his performance in the Olympic Stadium.
The CD will be released on October 18th and the rest of the world will follow shortly. The CD will contain 8 completely new tracks specially made for this event and 4 well known tracks, which Tiësto really wanted to play at the ceremony. The complete tracklist is as following:
Tiësto - Parade Of The Athletes (Magik Muzik CD 04)
1. Heroes
2. Breda 8pm (DJ Montana Edit)
3. Ancient History
4. Traffic
5. Euphoria
6. Athena
7. Olympic Flame
8. Lethal Industry
9. Coming Home
10. Adagio For Strings
11. Victorious
12. Forever Today
As we did with Tiësto’s latest artist album “Just Be”, Black Hole Recordings is pressing a 4 x 12” white and blue coloured vinyl album, containing the 8 new tracks on 1 side each:
Tiësto - Parade Of The Athletes (Magik Muzik LP 04)
A. Heroes
B. Breda 8pm (DJ Montana Edit)
C. Ancient History
D. Euphoria
E. Athena
F. Olympic Flame
G. Coming Home
H. Victorious
To make it possible to share his music with as many people as possible and because there are a couple of earlier released tracks, the CD will be available for a nice price!

Good job Tijs, more capitilization. I didn't catch the set. How was the mixing? Is he going to remix it?

I be adding those colored vinyls to my collection.

i.e Tijs wants to cash in on playing the Olympics for free and after his record sales went thru the roof, he wants more coin.

Note to bandwagoners:
We all know you hate Tiësto, he can't mix and this is just another album to make money with... so just save it, OK?
Now...
This definitely looks interesting... haven't heard all those tunes yet but looks like a solid package.

Edit:
I was late, the retards beat me to it.
Bandwagoners. Ha ha. I used to love him, but then I started to mix myself and my ear tuned itself. I didn't start disliking him to follow others. If I were a bandwagoner I would kiss his ass. He's the number one dj in the world.
But seriously. How can you say this isn't just a cash in opportunity?
Retards? A retard is someone who listens to his sloppy crap and still thinks he's fantastic.

Still if you could cash in and make more money for your g.f to spend on clothes and you to buy more fancy cars and stuff, why not....I'd probably do it, if I was a deejay. The olympics was the ultimate publicity that money just cannot buy. You play for free yet you play to 2 Billion people watching on television, Tiesto can't mix or play decent sets but he ain't stupid, he certainly saw an opportunity and took it. I doubt he needs any more money, I assume he is rich as can be but what's wrong with getting money for your retirement in 25 years. The Olympics only comes around every four years, so let Tiesto cash in, I have no problem with that.

I understand it too, and it is a special event. If he sells the live cd, even if it's flawed, I would respect it more. I still think he's a fantastic programmer and he has great records. I just wish he'd hone his skills a bit, but he got there somehow and I'll always have memories from his old sets. I just can't believe I never heard the mistakes back then. Oh, to be naive again.
