The Tiesto of today is no longer what it used to be. Shame but true.
I am talking for the people that have knowed Tiesto from the very beginning. Back then, he overwhelmed our senses and uplifted our souls with some of the best trance ever made. Simple, effective, alternatiing from fluffy to underground, well timed breaks, colourful sounds sure to lift up any blues anytime... Stuffed that sounded too good to be true!
Now, well, if what you fancy is to simply wave your arms in the air as you sing along to the 'lyrics' nowadays systematically being laid over pretty much EVERY single Tiesto track, then go for it, you won't be dispoointed. I'm personally struggling to understand why these 'lyris' are now covering up what makes the basis of Tiesto's original sound, a deep and neat bass that makes you take off from your own socks. Why has Tiesto gone SO commercial? Surely he does not need anymore money! From that point of view Kaleidoscope, the last album is in my view a total boredom to listen to. Once was all I could take, and it required a great deal of patiencefrom my part!
Anyway, we always have our good old tracks on CD to play back home on a day when we feel like being uplifted. God that really did kick ass!!! That certainly did not happen at the academy yesterday.
Apart from that, obvioulsy clear sound, good light show. And the Academy remians for me one of the top venue for an event like this.
Happy days!!
