Exactly. Tiesto is my #1 dj. Armin and Ferry don't even make it to my Top 50, they are just not artists of the calibre that Tijs is. PvD is very high up for me because of his mixing, but I'll take a Tiesto set over a PvD one any day because I prefer the Dutch sound. ;)
Dave, which Amnesia set are you talking about? He plays there every week. Please don't tell me you're talking about the 7-27 one, that set is a masterpiece. :thepirate
edit: yeah the EM is not that good, but mainly because of Radio 1's bad quality recording. That set is not as beautifully constructed as the 7-27 one, with those breaks at the beginning and all. |
Don't u mean 7-29?...thats starts with Hardfloor - Experience? |

What is so good about this track , this track does not evolve , it is just a banging tune with no direction at all. Banging tunes are OK but it has to have some direction and art put into it !
Good Tunes is Def. not Traffic ! Good Tunes are tracks like Mind Circles , LNG- Intercity , ATRC, Skylab, Beachball , burned with desire, For an angel etc.... Can u honestly say that TRAFFIC comes even near these Tracks !>??? I think Not.
This is my opinion anyway :)
By the way it's not that hard to produce a track like TRAFFIC it sounds the same throughout all the track ! Even tiesto admits it was a mistake but all the "TIESTO ADDICTS" thought this track was a masterpeice because it was "different". Different is excellent and creating new genres is also great but not Crappy Genres that Traffic has made ......
The only good cooment i have on tiesto this year was The TIC concert and Nyana Cd 2. His other live sets dont give me the goosebumbs they used to like 2-3 years ago ! - The Magikal Days and ISOS Days !
THOSE WERE THE DAYS !!!
again, This is just my opinion ! |

LOL, kids are funny. Traffic is a brilliant, original, and extremely effective DANCEFLOOR track that shows once again the high level of sofistication and evolution in Tiesto's work as an artist. The fact that he did this for fun makes this even more evident. The track is minimal, not simple in any form or way. It has a very subtle but obvious direction in terms of harmonic/melodic development throughout the piece. Only a few prog djs can match this level of musical complexity. The harmonic layering and the process in which new voices are added in counterpoint to the bassline creates a somber, dark ambiance of tension leading into a pattern of highly intense harmonic cadences that do wonders in the dancefloor. , even PvD is playing this. Last time I saw PvD this was by far the track that got the biggest response from the crowd.
You probably don't have a clue about technicisms in production, because the synthetization in Traffic and the quality of sound engineering in it is absolutely mindblowing. I remember the last time I saw Tiesto live I ran into a respected dnb producer and this is the track that had him thinking for days. Tiesto is doing wonders with his Access Virus and his sound engineer is also helping him out a lot. Damn, even the UKTAs that usually hate Tiesto loved this track since they first heard in that rip of the TMF awards last April.
If you think you can do something as good as Traffic or better help yourself and show it to me. Traffic is by far my favorite track this year, and I feel very proud saying that. :toocool: |

| I haven't heard Traffic played out live, yet.. But it's just a catchy track, there's no real substance to it... You can't really compare to say Suburban Train or Obsession, which I think are his best works. |

I second that, even though he gave us a sub par performance here in Houston. From What Ive heard on the net Oakey has been ripping it up. |

I didn't like Traffic at first, but it's one of those tunes that sort of grows on you after a while. When I first listened to the sample on DanceGrooves my first thought was that it was pretty dull. But the more I hear it, the more I like it.
Certainly not his best at all -- doesn't even come close. But it makes you wonder how much better it would have been if he had devoted a lot more time to it. |

| Not flaming, but... Armin needs respect for his album??? He needs a good whack in the head, thats what he needs. Album stunk. I dunno, but Armin is so cheesy to me. His original work aims too much towards being uplifting to the point where it becomes cheesy. However i do like Wait For You (Song for the ocean). That's the only original and solo track of his that i like besides Communication. |

i don't agree with that at all though. i think tracks such as Nyana, Barber rework, Radiohead and Skin remixes, and even Traffic ( a track he did for 'fun' ;) )etc. are some the most interesting, unique and forward thinking Dutch trance productions that have come out this year. |
well, i guess it's just difference of opinions then. :) |
