Album Description
Stunning mix compilation from the world's leading trance producer/DJ, named Best International DJ at the Dance Star USA Awards at the 2003 Winter Music Conference in Miami. Along with his trademark trance selections, elements of progressive house, tribal, & techno all weave throughout this set, plus a few choice vocal cuts, most notably Tiesto`s customized remix of 'Venus (Meant To Be Your Lover)' by DJ Cor Fijneman featuring Jan Johnston (who previously sang on Tiesto`s 'Close To You'). While a couple of these selections, such as 'Obsession', a collaboration with Junkie XL taken from Tiesto`s 2002 artist album 'In My Memory', will be familiar to fans, the majority are exclusive to this compilation. 27 tracks. Slipcase. Blackhole. 2003.

3 out of 5 stars Better Than Most Tiesto Compilations   July 19, 2008
CloudMan (Sydney, NSW Australia)
I'll be the first to admit that I think DJ Tiesto is one of the most overrated and montoneous DJ's that is still actively spinning and mixing today. Despite my bias towards the guy's musical tastes and lack of depth, I'll still listen to whatever he produces out of sheer curiousity.

Nyana is a fair album that swaps his usual pattern of disc 1 being more tranquil and disc 2 being the "club-E" mix seen with his ongoing series, In Search of Sunrise (since it began featuring two discs).

Disc 1 is driven by Tiesto's love for the four-on-the-floor beat. A trio of nice tracks open the set up, but not too much more impressive sound from there on.

Disc 2 is mellow and has a lot of above average tracks in my opinion. It is loaded with melodic trance and does not have an overbearing tempo driving the set as with the first disc. The first 7 tracks are very well laid out.

Disc 1 gets 3/5 stars, and disc 2, 3.5/5 stars.



4 out of 5 stars Trance for the masses...   October 29, 2006
A. Ort (Youngstown, Ohio)
Tiesto is a master of the trance game. He knows how to choose tracks, he knows how to mix them and he knows how to move the listener. There are moments where I wanted to give this five stars, moments where I wanted to give it three stars.

Though the first four tracks of CD 1, as commented on by many already, are challenging to sit through, at least he tried something different. But beyond this it ventures into familiar terrain. With the exception of track 6, one of the most beautiful pieces of electronica I've heard, up there with Albion's "Air" (as found on Oakey's GU New York) or Derek Howell's "Your Touch" (as found on Nick Warren's GU Shanghai), there are no stellar tracks that stand out, just a consistent, pleasing mix. The second disc is the more consistent but it just enhances what is heard on the first disc.

To a large extent Tiesto has become predictable, kind of like Oakenfold in the sense that he has found that certain sound that appeals to a large number of people and takes the safe route. Tiesto often takes tunes found elsewhere on other mixes but takes them and reworks them into his own mix, his own flow, and it takes on a different sound. But it is still the same recycled tunes. And I found out that he is in cahoots with Reebok sponsoring his name for DJ shoes. Sell out. That is when I thought to give it three stars.

But I just let the two CDs play and there is something about his sound that just takes the me away. It flows, it lifts, it inspires. It's Tiesto doing what he does best and it is hard to argue with the sound he creates. After all, it is about the music. It is easy to pop this mix in and let it play and be carried away for awhile.

Tiesto is the guy to turn to if you wish to introduce someone to the trance/techno sound. As always Tiesto is a safe bet.



4 out of 5 stars Great Stuff   July 14, 2006

I can't believe I haven't made a review about this in the past but I'm back now!

This is a solid 2 disc album.

First disc is great but starts up slow which for me I really didn't care.

Second disc is for vocal fans if you hate music with vocals burn this disc down! But I really enjoyed this disc. It has the legendary song Beautiful Things.

Overall get this cause trance is changing now a days and this one is a solid album. For those that love trance will like the EVERYTHING about this album.

4.0 out of 5.0



5 out of 5 stars 2- and if i had 3, then 3- thumbs up   January 16, 2006
Steven L. Cesca (Canada)
this set contains some of the best trance, and especially vocal trance i've ever heard. Its a bit dissapointing to listen to a really good song and then hear a really crappy song after. BUT THATS WHY WE HAVE BUTTONS ON OUR STEREO. TRUST me, a really good CD. In search of Sunrise 4 compares but I cant decide which is better. CD 2 is wayy better than cd 1.
Andain- beautiful things (gabriel & dresden mix) is by far the best song on the cd and in the world!!!!



4 out of 5 stars pretty good   January 14, 2006

Without getting too much into it this Album is pretty good. 4 stars for some bad ass tracks. My favs are Tears from the moon, Beautiful things , As the rush comes. All in all worth the money.
