That's the biggest load of horseshit that the olympic commitee could've come up with... They obviously bought into the stupid fucking thinking that lyrics in EDM would be about sex and drugs...

Why the fuck was Bjork able to use her lyrics then? I mean fuck... her lyrics could easily have been considered by many people to be very much disgusting....

"Your sweat is salty, I am why"...

I mean.... THAT'S likely to be ANTICIPATED WRONG...

FUCK the IOC wankers, they could've atleast just been honest and said we're not risking it with ur genre.... it's good enough just to be able to play trance, but don't BUllshit to us about ur decisions....

Settle down, that's not the reason. Think about it...

He was playing all of these tunes during the parade of the athletes. He also dropped dub mixes of tunes like Walking on Clouds at the event itself. Why? Simple; as the athletes walked out, the stadium announcer would speak in the arena, announcing their arrival in two or three different languages. It'd be a bit odd to hear that during a vocal tune, isn't it?

Originally posted by tubularbills So i finally got this album. I should really stop buying music from amazon.com because it always seems like they get things a month later than everyone. oh well.

Considering the album was released in the US on November 2, Amazon did a good job shipping it out to you right after the release.

that's s good point

Ur probably right....

They said they were worried about it on the website...

but then again, if the music is just something in the background (like when watching TV), the announcer could still be heard yeah?....

Why would the IOC give such a reason then? Why didn't they just say what u did????

true ... i was there.
abhay.... did your parents say that edm is the devil?

Here's my opinion about it:

The first tune "Heroes" was actually one I liked. But when I heard that the repeated main melody is pretty annoying after a while, I thought: Well F*ck that.
"Breda 8pm" sounds pumpin'. Even a nice melody in it, makes it pretty good.
"History" is just the proof how lazy a well-known DJ can be. Pick a "flight 643"-bassline + drums. Add some orchestra drums in it and a pretty annoying flute, and you're ready.
"Traffic" is just a tune that I can't stand, due to it's simplicity.
"Euphoria" is a nice and balanced atmosphere, combined with a pretty good main melody. Even the strings are intense, almost as much as in "A Tear In The Open"
Athena, mhhhh... A melody I heard before in: "Rollerball - Albioni". They obviously both ripped it from a classical track. But that's not the point. The point is that "Rollerball" did a better job, IMO.
"Flame" is pretty good. Powerfull bassline!
I always liked tunes like: "Lethal Industry". A good choice on putting it on yet another album!
"Home" just makes my ears damage. It's totally not my style. Pretty annoying with the melody.
My opinion about: "Adagio For Strings" stays the same. I don't like it, it's just too raw and repeatative.
Today is again another tune from the album: "Just Be", that is a perfect tune to start an album, not to end it!

In conclusion: Tiesto has done yet another copy/past-album which CAN hold pretty good melodies, but it's just too repeatative.

5/10

How do the bassline & drums resemble Flight 643 in any way whatsoever? Sorry but you're talking bollocks there. There's ONE rimshot sound similar to the one used in Lethal Industry, but that's all... nothing has been taken from Flight 643.

Definitely not. After comparing them, the kicks and percs are different.

Still sounds awfully lot like Flight 643, IMO

I can only find resemblances on "Ancient History" to Lethal Industry. But that's just my idea.
