right on. sampling is 100% legit in our times and scene. Hardly any tonal melodies out there are original, this is the 21st century.

i think Traffic is a minimalist gem with a very unique vibe all the way through. this kind of production is what makes tiesto my favorite musician of our times. i know some people get offended that i constanly repeat this, but i can't help it. i'm not looking for flames, this is just my personal appreciation and my 2 cents....

What about Tieto's Traffic?

I'm still looking for that one.

Traffic is a great tune by Tiesto, but definitely not his best. I can pick a few tracks from his In My Memory CD that I like more .... for example, Flight 643 & Suburban Train

Actually sampling is an art form....ask coldcut..tho they never paid the artists they sampled (or some..who knows)...then again...to them it was an art form. Sean Deason is a fucking genius but I think people need to stop pretending that certain artists never sample work or never borrow sounds. If done correctly, it makes for great tracks and happy people....not like josh wink and his sampling (COUGH*THIEF*COUGH). Look what sampling did for norman cook...he is a household name.

an artform indeed, even in the academic world. Canadian composer John Oswald was sued by the RIAA and Michael Jackson back in 1989 for his CD Plunderphonics, which is all made with samples of pop tunes. i think the CD is genius, but now he's not even allowed to sell it commercially. however, how do you know where to draw the line? that's an open ended question in legal terms. composers have been at least quoting or borrowing melodies for centuries, is that legit? just like van gogh would do his own remix of a painting by Rembrandt, should that be illegal too? i don't think so, it's just a 're-interpretation'. one thing is quoting and re-interpreting a melody or an idea or a theme like Tiesto's doing with Traffic and another thing is to steal. it's hard to be objective when we're talking about art though.

I could not have been said better. It's not the greatest track, but it gets u pumped up at parties.

Actually the first people to really get in trouble for sampling was double dee and steinski and they used samples without permission and got into a bunch of nasty lawsuits.

tiesto copies another tune.


a good one though...

Cuz Sean Deason is a genius

I've heard this track at home and clubbing. Ow great difference! Well, for listening at home no it's a great tune but when this summer I was at Amnesia and Tiesto played this tune... all the clubbers started to jump was amazin'!!
So absolutely agree with TA's who said the difference of listening this track at home and at a party.
