Originally posted by Spad I think that's a vaild point. Nobody can argue that Silence wasn't the biggest track of 2000 (whether they liked it or not), and sorry but nobody would have even heard of Delerium if it wasn't for Tiesto's remix. As for Urban Train, it was voted the top track of last year by the users of this board (I disagree but still) so nobody can argue that point, especially if they didn't bother voting. Much to my dismay, it looks like Southern Sun is going to be a huge tune So I reckon you could be right mate.

finally a valid point is made with something to back it up...thanks Spad

...as far as all the tiesto critics are concerned, when you are probably asked by every producer to do a remix of their track and you stick your neck out and do as many as humanly possible then they all cannot be gold...i'm sure he apologizes...but you should acknowledge that when he does hit gold that it is beautiful trance...there are so many talented djs and producers that it's pointless to compare one to another...we are all TAs (some misguided) and we all have our style and we need to just respect each other a little more (unless someone starts another Southern Sun thread )

Well i dont believe that, cause if tiesto hadnt remixed innocente, it wouldnt be as popular as it is today, and dare I say the same about Silence - so I do care bout who rmixes them-most of the great trance songs are usualy remixed
William Orbit - Barber's Adagio For Strings [Ferry Corsten Remix]
System F - Out of the Blue (5am mix)
Balearic Bill - Destination Sunshine (DJ Tiesto Remix)=====Jus had to get another Tiesto remix in!

Originally posted by ferrycorstenfan Sure, Tiesto has been impressive, but it's time for someone else to take over I think, Johan Gielen is banging the sets and the tunes, his latest tunes with svenson are magic, beauty of silence is gold still, and he is getting more popular with others, personally I've loved him for 3 years but I think his work is getting better, so I think it'll be his year, Ferry, Tiesto, Armin, PVD, and many others will always be there or there abouts, but I think Gielens close to joining them

However I do agree with this 100%!, Gielen is just getting better and better. But He will have to be real good to produce better livesets than PVD

Original Mix is better.

does tiesto really have the golden touch, or does he just know how to play the audiance?

He DEFINATELY knows how to play the audience, but i wouldn't say he has the "golden touch." He has a very GOOD touch...

I think people judge tiesto's mixes too harshly. I didn't think Hungry and Pulsar were bad, but know he's considered overrated, and slipping for making them. No one can make great songs all of the time.

As for Southen Sun, if you don't like the vocals, you WON'T like the track! Tiesto didn't make another Silence here, he made a good mix that complements the vocals. Same with Solar Stone and G&D.

Ummm....no! Gielen makes good tracks (with Svenson) but he needs to make some INCREDIBLE tracks and DJ alot more to be up with Ferry/Tiesto/Armin/PvD

Personal Opinions , I was just using it to show my point - there are other tracks out there you can use instead.

But hey I do agree when you say that Tiesto is judged a lot - Hungry I "dont" mind, pulser is nothing great.

Hey Give Gielen a chance! This MAYBE his year

cool.. finally got some interesting discussion..

well on to my topic at hand.. it's going to be interesting to see how southern sun fares now that's it is finally coming out.. will it's popularity hold until the end of the year? will tiesto make another remix/production to be the most popular? or will another producer take the spot..

well since we can almost all agree on the most popular track for 2000/2001.. i still can't make up my mind for 1999.. would you think it was airwave or out of the blue? not which one is better, but what was more popular?

as for tiesto's quality.. somebody mentioned the album.. you can't really hold that to the same standards as singles.. albums are typically not written with 100% singles in mind. i think battleship grey is an absolutey beautiful song, but it would never hold up as a single (unless there were some great remixes), but honestly.. almost the entire album COULD be a single.. when it came out i said to myself, well.. all of these have single potential except dallas 4am, battleship grey, and lethal industry.. and well.. lethal was released as a single to my surprise.. promos of magik journey are doing the rounds (or.. according to the mp3 release groups LOL).. in my memory is the next US bound single.. and i'd be damned if they didn't release obsession..

eek.. back to work for me

i agree with u tiesto is def a crowd pleaser, hes got incredible charisma when he plays the crowd. and he use to have the so called MAGIKAL touch.... that was like before he started to go down hill w/ both his productions and djsets. i think i first started to notice the change in his style when Tiesto Rmx of Flesh was released.. up til then he really did have the Magikal Touch w/ productions/remixes such as Aria - Willow (Magikal Remake).. all of his magikal remakes.. even his Magik series' quality declined after #6... of course these are only my opinions tiesto surely has talents obviously but it seems as though hes not putting 100% effort behind his more recent releases. but i still do believe hes capable of showing his fans wut they wanna hear. as for his artist album, i do like it, but hes def lost much respect from me in general.

as for gielen, he r0x. hes finally starting to get the recognition he deserves/d
