is more of a musician ... many more layers,
depth to the tunes, 3-Dimensional in his
approach, and really presents a style that
takes the listener to a new musical atmophere.
Going backto Tiesto, there's a minimalist approach,
which is superior to other DJ's over-doing it,
with noise, effects, and so on ... however, it
shows less effort than VDM's work. |
That's not true either. To tell you the truth, most of VDM's productions are rather generic. If VdM is tridimensional then Tiesto's approach to musicmaking is millidimensional :p Tiesto takes much more listeners to a new musical atmosphere than VdM, I experienced TiC live and saw people crying and having orgasms all around :tongue2 Tiesto has way more vision and has touched way more people. No contest. If you'd like, compare VdM to Armin or Ferry or one of those. But Tiesto? lol. Next...... |

VDM is not even close (yet)..
But I like him tho, just that Tiesto has a great advantage.
Go VDM go!!! :p |

YaleTrance you always talk with such passion about Tiesto. Those complex terms you use describe so well his style. It gives me goosebunps just by reading what you write. This makes me wonder, which is your favorite Tiesto work (production/remix/collaboration)? |

... I think Tiesto is a commercial phenomenon,
that reminds me of a Coca Cola beverage ...
he's a DJ that's "clean" , "popular" "mainstream"
a "good money maker", good "crowd drawer", etc. |
Yes, Yes, and Yes.... Heck I think he was on a Coca~Cola can in Holland. lol what more can you ask for in a DJ?
Sounds like you are just trying to be 1337 in your like for a less popular DJ ... if you ask me. |

i agree.
to name a few greats:
Shamu
Fly Away
Flowtation
Cystal Clouds
Nexus Asia
Carte Blanche
Orion City
much more depth than anything tiesto has done. i do like tiesto's tracks though and i like his DJing, but vdm is a better producer. |

Yes. Strange World rips off Shamu as does Like This, Like That rips of Blue fear etc. its a bit unfair how much credit strange world gets whilst Shamu is kept in the dark.
The only decent productions that come under the Tiesto name are tracks that arent even done by him :rolleyes:
Its all about Vincent De Moor, altho i hear he is a complete arse to work with :\ |

Thanks :) There are so many to mention. Is there one i like over the others? i really couldn't say. I think music historians in the future will divide Tiesto's development as a (trance) artist in three periods just like they do with the greatest composers of any given time in history(early-middle-late). His style has evolved so much over the last 7 years that if I choose one production I would be overlooking his achievements in other periods. Whether the tracks are collaborations, remixes or original productions there is no doubt that Tiesto is the Greatest Common Factor that gives the track that extra edge which takes the music to another level. He may not be the most talented computer music guy, but his intuition and savviness with what works in the dancefloor is unmatched. I could mention Stray Dog-Mirror, Allure-No More Tears and We ran at down, the Kamaya Painters Far from over and Endless Wave, Theme from Norjefell, the three real Gouryellas, the Destination Sunshine power mix, Silence remix, Southern Sun remix, Sirius remix, Alibi-Eternity, Obsession, Magik Journey, 643, Urban Train etc. The 2003 period has been huge for him too, bringing about some of the most revolutionary and complex sounds and changes to structure that Dutch trancedom has seen a while with his wise track selection and his own productions such Nyana, Traffic and the Barber rework. I'm sure it will keep getting better and better. |

Oh right. He didn't do Urban Train because he borrowed the melody from a mediocre generic production by Kid Vicious. He didn't do Obsession, it's just that Junkie XL is such a nice guy that he did a track that is a clear fusion of his style with Tiesto's just for the kicks. Yeppers, Tiesto had no involvement whatsoever in the Gouryella productions, Ferry had a crush on Monique and let Tiesto get some credit while pretending to work with him just so he could be closer to her. That's why after the breaking up Ferry did such an "amazing" track called Ligaya, and blatantly succeeded to make the track lack any Tiesto flavor. Oh yeah, he didn't do Magik Journey because Gert Huinik composed the orchestra part. Not to mention Nyana, OMG he used the same melody from Sirius. He's such a sellout! Just like Tchaikovsky when he ing QUOTED the French anthem in his 1812 overture. And Tiesto for sure had no involvement in Traffic, which you started a thread to call it Tiesto's greatest track ever. You bet it was Gert, Alco, Cor and all the MAgik Muzik boys that manipulate Tijs every move.
:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:
Tired of the bandwagon backlash that questions anything good ever done by Tiesto. Not to mention their reliance on attacking his use of other people's melodies. Perhaps they should take a class or two on music history just so they could learn that there are pretty much NO TONAL MELODIES that haven't been used in this planet. Face it. Sampling and quoting melodies has been a well-accepted practice of art music and dance music history throughout millenia. And guess what, Tiesto innovates, defies the mold and makes the melody he borrowed much much better. |
