I didnt catch most of the set, but from the apperance of the tracklist, Tiesto loaded this one up with twice as many of his own songs as he did last year. Im not saying playing your own music is bad, and at an event as big as TICē, its certainly necessary, but I dont see why he had to paly his own songs for a full 1/5 of the set (possibly a bit more or less). I tuned in around song 51 and found all the songs I had heard from that point on good except for a few exceptions, most notably
58. Marcos - Just for a Day.
The best song I heard was 60. Dark Alliance - Vibration. Tiesto threw in some really nice effects in on this tune by stretching out the time and some other nice work. This was a nice dark tune I wouldnt have expected from Tiesto.
The mixing was average to good, but as Ive said, I only heard roughly 10 songs. I was bit put off by his use of Universal Nation as a closer (let the song die already), and he didnt really build energy throughout the end of the set. He cut off one song at one point and really played a weak (though good) song before the guy from DJMag presented him with his award. But from what I heard, it was a decent set, a bit better than average as Ive heard from Tijs over the last 3 years or so. Tomorrow's set should be an interesting listen. |

let me sum it up in two words: crap/hype
i saw a video stream of it, and thought it sucked, and not because i'm a tiesto basher, i'm going off the track selection...it's as if he took his tracks mixed it with the new stuff and called it a night. The only good part was Suburban Train, I like how he actually incorporated the choir into that one, because it made sense....it wasnt overdone, but the rest was just hard trance nonsense, that made u just want to tuneout or fall asleep ... The set had no personality..especially that its like 70 tracks...I mean if you want an event like this to be really special, you rack it down to say a 20-25 track set....and make it three nights, that way you dont compromise quality with quantity....instead he chose to make his set less personal, and threw around 70 tracks at everyone which was a bad idea in general, you have so many people there/a festival environment...your set just becomes a plethora of everything thrown in, just lacks structure. To me this was a money making scheme at the same time, with a merchandise booth...i mean jesus, at least try and not make it look like ur a sellout. :nervous: |
