Sparkles [Magikal Remake], Airtight, Personel Reflexion, Perfect Silence [E-Craig's 212 Remix], and Little Bird are all awesome endings to the previous series. ISOS6 and now ISOS7 ending on this sucky, lame, drawn-out "chill" track makes me wonder at the end, "what the fuck did i just listen to?" if i heard this at a club, i'd think, "am i at a fucking high school dance?!" you shouldn't be ending something like ISOS with a lush, chilled track. it should be something massive, epic, making you want it more...a perfect closer is just as important, if not moreso--in my opinion--as the opening and everything else in the set. what a disappointment

haha

u know i never thought of it that way.

Originally posted by tubularbills I got this in the mail yesterday. what the fuck happened to this series? Look, Tiesto did an all right job picking tracks that flow together with an "Asian" sound i guess. but the endings on both of these CDs sucked ASS to me, the whole point of the ISOS songs at the end was this: the sun was coming up, and it was supposed to be this massive, epic, trance-tastic explosion of a sound. a fucking sun-gasm after partying all night long in the club.

I couldn't agree with you more

Couldn't figure out which thread was the main ISOS review thread, but I finally listened to this heading up to NYC for the 4th.

What a disappointment is right! The first few tracks on CD1 set the mood nicely. I thought this was gonna be good. But then the flow just took a dive. There was no coherence to it after the beginning tracks. Some of the vocalists in some of those middle tracks were literally horrible and couldn't carry a tune! (I didn't have the tracklist in front of me at the time so I'm not sure which exact tracks I'm referring to.)

The second CD I actually thought was much better. There were times when I thought I was listening to ISOS 1-3, or even Nyana. The energy was good, the bpm was up, and the "feel" continued generally throughout the entire CD without interruption. It was much more fun to listen to pt.2 and still gives me hope that he can put together a good compilation.

Not as good as ISOS 6, IMO.
