A DJ set doesn't always require a smooth "flow". Sometimes you need a quick change of pace. I presume Tiesto had the energy up higher than he wanted and needed to hold back a bit to avoid going over the top. There's no rule that says you "JUST DON'T" mix two particular types of song. Besides, Tiesto's been doing this his whole career. Here's a couple examples:

Magik 5

Atlantis vs. Avatar - Fiji into Twilight - Platina (Maurits Paardekooper Remix)

That's almost identical to the Neverending Melody -> Flight 643 mix you mentioned above. He'd started with three of his own full-on trancers and needed a bridge of sorts between that and the upcoming climax of the set with Neverending Melody, Open Your Mind and Alone In The Dark; in comes Paardekooper's techy rework of Platina.

Magik 4

Vimana - We Came into Der Dritte Raum - Trommelmaschine into DJ Tiesto - Sparkles
H
e'd just been playing melodic trance and would go on to play Armin - Communication, Allure - We Ran At Dawn and Loop Control - Exceptionally Beautiful. So many anthems in a row would be a bit much so he changes directions with the minimal, tribal Trommelmaschine.

Basically, it's dangerous to try to "flow" too much because if you can only mix two songs that are structured identically your mix will sound the same and it'll get boring. Kudos to Tiesto for breaking your rules.

I love the first track on disc 1. I remember hearing it in a tiesto set earlier and coming close to mad trying to find it. I like the percussion in it. Although, I feel that Inca is a bit played out I would've used Amazon just to have something new and its harder and fit in better...oh well still enjoyable.

tru, but he does it poorly, u can change genres in a set, compilation no doubt about that, but doing it subtle and unoticeable of the genre change is the right way. remember each set or a comilation is one ride u cant go off course too dramatically.. if u do, the ride's over.

For the people that didn't already know it:

M. Mayer - Love Is Stronger Than Pride is actually Reinhard Voigt - Supertiel. It's misprinted on the cd.
