CD Review: Tiesto "Elements Of Life"
Release Date: April 10, 2007
From
stadium concert devoted exclusively to him, to the status of the world’s
"number 1 DJ" multiple times, to his own shoe (no joke), Dutchman
Tijs Verwest’s (Tiesto)
accolades continue to increase in length and diversity and his spotlight status
as one of Dance music’s most recognizable names is becoming further cemented. Tiesto
hasn’t release a full length own CD since
Surprisingly, this new release starts off
fairly limp and uninspired:
Sunrise sounds like a Moby‘s
tune.
It’s
with track number 7 (
that the album finally starts getting oriented towards trance sounds: the tempo
is moving with a dark dance floor feel leading to the most impressive track of
the project: Break
My Fall, featuring
happened in the past for the massive hit
from the album Just
Be.
It
really kicks in around the 1 minute mark and then the vocals on the second
minute.
Its
trancier feel and catchy chorus & programming make for a memorable tune
regardless of the big-name association.
Also interesting the dance track
the male vocalist Christian
Burns and clearly involving some solid programming.
(written as the anthem for the CD release of the same name supporting HIV/AIDS
research) features Maxi Jazz
of Faithless on lead
spoken vocals. Musically, it is serious with a club feel.
Instrumental title cut
is a trance experience and a good way to round out the project.
Tiesto’s
remix of He’s a
Pirate is thrown in as a final Bonus Track for those of you who do
not already have it from the "Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest"
soundtrack or the remixes single.
Expect most of the tracks to be long, clocking
at over 6 minutes.
Perhaps not a must-have for the casual
dance listener, this CD might disappoint fans who loved Tiesto’s own studio
albums In My Memory
(2001) and Just
Be (2004).
Tiesto
will surely keep the audience excited with spectacular live shows and other
remixes but these new experimental sounds are likely to bore more than one
listener.
My verdict: 3/5 — Disappointing with some
exception.
