good album, I give 7/10. better than 76 for sure.
tracks I like:
wall of sound (wonderful downtempo)
empty state (discreet vocals, cool flow)
golddigger (also very emotional downtempo, like the male vocals although I prefer a female voice)
zocalo (a track which fit perfect in every club)
gypsy (better than yet another day on 76, not too cheasy, male vocals are okay and fit into the rest)
who is watching (another great downtempo, amazing vocals, for me the best track on the album)
bounce back (another great club track)
Tracks I don't like:
shivers (cheasy vocals)
control freak (to flat, sounds like there is something missing & reminds me of ferry corsten, as If I have heard it before)
serenity (this is an adagio for strings copy and not half as good as tiestos work) |

Two years for this? What a letdown :(
Zocalo is the only track I like. 76 was way better IMO. |

Apologies if it's already been mentioned, but Shivers is in the iTunes store as well, with Hymne and Simple Things as part of the album.

Ermmmm, "adagio for strings" was originally composed by a classical composer called Simon Barber. It was probably unknown to the electronic music fanbase till the monent that william orbit made an ambient version of this classical track in his quite good "pieces in a modern style" album (which is a collection of "ambient" remakes of various classical tunes). From that point all the stupid trance-producers lot probably heard it and probably though that it would be great to remake the ambient-remake(!) of this classical track and turn it into a huge stadium tune. The track was painfully remixed by various trance producers in the 90s. (Heard it in a paul oakenfold set in 99 if i remember. Was that a ferry corsten remix?). Unfortunately tiesto thought that he would get even more money if he produced yet another remix of that tune. The rest is history. Tiesto has completely RUINED this tune by turning it into typical hard house/tech-trance/whatever--you-want-to-call-it stadium hymn, specially tailored for people with IQ=-150. Yes another musical crime. |

It's Samuel Barber, not Simon Barber. :p
Adagio For Strings was actually quite well known because it was on the soundtrack for the classic war movie "Platoon" in the 70s.
However, you are right in saying that it was pretty much unknown to EDM fans before William Orbit's version. |
