7." Anjunabeats was good, but it wasn't on the same level as their previous volumes and unlike the other 3 I found myself hitting the "skip" button too often on CD1. If I had to rate these four I'd give an upper hand to Armin's "A State of Trance" (it's his best in years.)., followed by a tie between "Nightmusic: Volume 3, and the "ISOS: Vol. There are simply no fillers (on either CD) and this in itself is enough to commend this to any Tiesto fan (or to one who has never heard him, for that matter).I must confess that I just listened to 3 other double CDs in the last few days."Nightmusic: Volume 3," "Anjunabeats: Volume Six," and "A State of Trance: 2008," so I'm a bit spoiled.
Basically, I will be echoing the sentiments of other reviewers, so bear with the redundancy.If this were an Armin Van Buuren album, you would be labeling CD1 "On the Beach" and CD2 "In the Club," for Tiesto follows that same route in ISOS, Vol. I liked the gradual build up and I was really impressed with most of the vocal numbers (my absolute favorite being Airbase's "Denial"), but was a bit let down by the male vocals in track 13. It's been a very long time since I wrote a review on a Tiesto album, but I was so refreshed by this outing that I thought it best to chime in.
CD2 was definitely the better of the two, especially if you're a fan of energetic trance with a splash of progressive thrown in for good measure. I would highly recommend them all though; in fact, these four artists can be counted on every year to gratify your senses by taking you to "audio Nirvana." 7.
CD1 is definitely a beautiful CD to chill out on.the first 5 tracks are classic chill, followed by 8 vocal/melodic tracks, and then ending with another short down-tempo track.
I then decided to give ISOS one more shot and I bought the Aisa disc set and I was blown away. I decided to give him another try and bought Elements of Life and Loved it and I bought many of his other CD's after that. This is truly an amazing work.The first disc is slower with lost of vocal (which I love) and the second Disc is much more up beat and has an epic trance feel.I would highly recommend this album to anyone that loves Tiesto. I bought a couple of Tiesto's In search of sunrise discs (disc 3 and 4) and I didn't really like them. I didn't think Tiesto was a great DJ.
The tracks would sound better if they would not be mixed by Tiesto, who is rather a pop star than a dj these days Badly mixed 2 cd's. This cd mix compilation is just awful.
Just relax and listen to the mix of Tiesto. Autumn is the time to come down and start to relax a little bit, after a summer with a lot of partys.This CD ist good for some lovely background music while you and some friends are talking and drinking some red wine in the evening.
I used to listen to that for weeks and weeks in my car. Tiesto has been always famous for spinning trance discs, if you like his trancey stuff listen to his Magik series.Personally ISOS series are my favorite Tiesto stuff. I own 1 through 7. And I have hundreds of them.
Way to go Tiesto. ISOS are some of my favorite techno CDs I own. Definitely worth purchasing.So my recommendation from best ISOS to going are: 4,7,6,3,5,2,1. This #7 instantly became my second favorite.
Matthew, you hit it right. ISOS 4 is my favorite so far, hands down. They are little more laid back, more like progressive trance. Never get tired of it.
After listening to every ISOS discs, my all time favorite is #4 second disc. I STRONGLY agree with Matthew Woron's review. On the nose.
