Personally i think the internet has made life tougher for DJ's. Nowadays as soon as a new tune is released everyone is in a mad rush to download it. It usually gets cained alot and after a cuple months of caining its not a new tune anymore

This can't be any more wrong. Maybe for ameteurs like you and I, but right now the internet is probably the only and best way for DJs to communicate with fans all over the world...radio shows, mp3 set trading, homepages, club information, etc...granted that mp3 downloading is killing the music industry, the internet is still a very special and important tool for musicians worldwide to share and hear music. How would you find out about these new tunes if it weren't for tranceaddict.com, livesets and such?
'New tunes' are called new tunes for a reason. After a while they get old...not because everybody DLs them, but simply because...well, they get old! So to blame the internet for letting tunes becoming played out is kind of a empty justification.
But on the other hand, I have a few friends who purchased it and they all love it. One common thing I noticed between the difference with them and I: they don't go to tranceaddict.com everyday, they don't listen to ASOT, they don't keep up like we do, so naturally alot of these tunes are fresh for them...remember when you heard these tunes for the first time? Imagine slapping them all into a 2 CD set and having "Tiesto" on the cover. Naturally, you can't help but enjoy it(assuming you like trance)
As far as Nyana goes, I think it's missing something...it just seems like Tiesto is mixing in tune after tune we all heard before...ATRC, U Write the Rules, Venus, Urban Shakedown etc...all wonderful tunes, sub-parly mixed. Tiesto seemed to have tried a little to hard, and at the same time not hard enough...2 CDs, and 1 new Tiesto tune? Bleh.
It's not fair to say that you'll love it or hate it either...I love the beginning until Venus on CD1, and enjoy the middle portion of CD2(Beautiful Things, Nothing, Forever Waiting, ATRC...), but it seemed on both CDs, things started to unravel at the end...
Giving it a fair shot, it's a mediocre compilation at best. Hopefully Tiesto will realize that trying to hard won't work, nor does trying half-assed.

CD 2 is great but CD 1 is also very good., congrats on your new purchase

First time i listened to it i thought it sucked totally.. after listening to it about 3 times i started to like disk one.. and now im in total love with track 2 on disk 1.. But for it being Tiesto i think he should of had a better cd.. as for disk 2 i still think it sucks.. as for 2003 i think Oakenfolds Great Wall blew away Nyana..

i think its a great cd, i love it! im not a tiesto fanboy or anything but i enjoy this cd. for its release here i think the cds are the other way around for some reason. and i don't know where the mixing is sub-par, it all sounds good to me

new set online, Summer Journeys

i was so exicted of getting this. i think i hyped myself up to much for it...it's a good album, but not the best. the Gategrasher 3xCD's are still the best out there, nothing like them out on the market...
