Not EVERYONE thinks that. It's the best that I have heard so far. I am sure I haven't been into trance as long as most people on here, so when i first heard those tracks could have been at LONG after you did. I'm not speaking for everyone here. Just me. sURE, I heard a few of the tracks before, but not all.
(Thanks InsomnEac. I was debating whether I got the title right or not, figures that I didn't get it. oh well, next time.)

| I dunno I wasnt impressed with this as I am some of Tiesto's other works. I dunno maybe its because when I listened to it for the first time all these tracks were like 3 years old, so I cant really judge it correctly. |

| This album was probably one of the first trance albums i had heard when i got interested in trance/techno music. Even tho the actual songs were a few years old (by the time i heard them at least), i had never heard them before (or if i had heard them , i didn't remember); so it was "new" to me, and i thought it was absolutely kickass from the beginning. |

this is a blast from the past.
the release was targeted for the american market.
definitely had the classic feel, which i'm sure is obvious from the tracklist.
hehe, from what i can remember, the mixing on this was quite good compared to magik 1-5 and isos 2-3. i hear nyana's mixing is horrendous. oh well, typical tiestoooooo. 5 stars for track programming tho. each dj has their pros n cons lol |

EXACTLY. Finally, someone gets it!
As far as the tracklist, I don't know if I would have put in a few of these. Caught Me Running- argh- the vocals on it are quite annoying. You can only say "Heyyyyyy eyyyy alright , alright" so many times."

Lol i can already see this will be a debate of Americans vs. Dutchies and Britons. All i have to say is the tunes on Summerbreeze/Magik 6 are briolliant, and whichever you heard them on first will be the CD of your choice. Since Summerbreeze was indeed released on Nettwerk (BT's label) for an American audience, we here in the states love it more than Magik 6 which never saw the shelves of US record stores. If i lived in Holland and heard magik 6 way be4 Summerbreeze, i would like Magik 6 better.
Anyway, about the CD, i absolutely LOVE IT from start to finish, except for 'Silence,' since it was so bloody overplayed. I never liked it too much neway. My highlights are:
1)Aria - Dido (Armin's Universal Religion Mix) <--- one of Armin's best 2 remixes!!!!!!!!
2) DJ Tiesto - Sparkles (Transa Mix) <-- Tiesto's AND Transa's best work EVER. Period. Top 10 all time tune for me, i loe Summerbreeze for it.
3) Major Leauge - Wonder? <--- i prefer the vocal mix but this is still top quality.
and the only other thing i wanted to say that, though this was not my first trance compilation (That dubious honor belongs to Trance NAtion 2 by ferry corsten) it is to this day one of my favorites. |

Aria, Wonder?, and Sparkles (transa mix) were great , but Far From Over is growing on me. I have yet to hear the original. I only heard that oLIVER Lieb miX on the CD.
*Excuse me if I start some nationalist feud :tongue3 :crazy:
I dont think we have that problem. IS Magik 6 better? I don't know.

If you haven't heard the original Far From Over I recommend you download what most of us TAs consider Tiesto's best set ever: Live @ Energy 2000-the new millenium party. It's probably the best set in history, and the original stands out indeed at the beginning of the set, i think it's the 4th track. By itself i like Oliver Lieb's mix better, but in that set the original is brilliant. The Olvier Lieb remix is also in ISOS 1 lol.
I personally like Magik 6 better than Summerbreeze, i think Summerbreeze is too anthemic and a bit over the top, I think it's Tiesto's most simple mix. Magik 6 flows and builds up in a very cohesive floatsy way, probably more than any other Tiesto CD except for Live @ Innercity 99, that was his best IMO. |

Oh I agree...Live @ Innercity was the first trance set I've ever heared and it remains my all-time favourite trance set next to Ferry @ Energy 2000.
However I guess I'm one of the very few Tiesto loving TAs who simply don't love the Tiesto @ Energy 2000 set except for the first track, More n more by Spoiled & Zigo  |

Everyone keeps talking about this ''new sound'' Tiesto has. Anyone care to enlighten me on what they mean and just basically explain that to me? Is the new sound better or what? I know Nyana was just released- I need to decide whether to BUY it or not....

hehe well that's a huge debate. It's just not a "new sound" we talk about, it's his evolution as an artist and how his style has developed with time. You're probably used to the extremely pure epic and melodic uplifting Tiesto that was typical of 1999-2000. Right now he has a more "diverse" sound, borrowing from other genres to create the journey in his sets with other great music, not just trance, even if it's all music that's related in some way to trance. To understand this evolution you need to listen to it all chronologically and you'll see how he has gotten less epic and more techy and proggy, but his style of constructing sets through melody remains pretty much the same.
I recommend you check out all the Magiks, 1 to 7. The three In Search of Sunrises, Revolution, his album In My Memory, and finally Nyana. If you wanna go deeper to his early trance roots then check out Forbidden Paradise 3-7 and the Space Age series. |
