Black Hole [Import]

Product Description
A glorious 9 piece band from Birmingham in the UK, made up of brothers and sisters and twins and saxophones and trumpets and cute, weird dancers who produce the most uplifting, life affirming tunes you will hear since Louie Armstrong played with the Lovin Spoonful. Dave from The Zutons loves them, so much so that they invited them on tour, and they were invited to support The Magic Numbers on tour in 2005 and The Guillemots in 2006.

Beutiful and original.......2005-07-17

This is one of the most relaxing and envigourating albums I've ever listened to. It's unpredictable, uplifting, happy and clever. This is the only album of the Magik series I've sampled and I'm pretty impressed, so far.

Can Trance get Any Better than This?.......2005-05-13

Its 2005 an this cd was compiled in '98 and while listening to this mix I kept shaking my head in disbelief that Tiesto is soo good at what he does. That's what makes Tiesto's mixes so awesome is that the sound is fresh!! It doesn't get old or outdated, it doesn't get boring you keep asking for more and more which is probably why I'm collecting all his music and keep looking for more!! "Theme from Norefjell" will get everyone on the street looking at u when ur playing it and off your feet of course.."Ayla" is a heavenly track with great vocals!!.."I Know" is one of my favorites..If your days kind of crappy "I know" will be therapeudic! "Wings of love" is upbeat and melodaic..People this is a mix that you can listen from beginning to end..If your not a Tiesto fan then this mix will change that..If you crave some of the best trance you will ever hear get ALL compilations of this series also Live from Innercity and Parade of Athletes has some awesome tracks..Tiesto 4ever!!

fast trance, great selection!.......2004-02-23

Magik 3 is my favorite of all the Magik series [although #6 is a close second].

But Magik 3's selection of tracks, and the order they're in is fabulous. "Ice Rain" has great vocals, and comes in a good place of the track order. The best parts of the CD are at the end, however. Everything from Lucy Cotter's "Breath in You" to Pob's "The Awaking" is awesome! some of the fastest beats i've ever heard, and DJ Tiesto mixes them flawlessly. and what better than to have Gouryella's very own "Gouryella" just before the final climax of the CD. just great!

The #1 DJ in the WORLD!!.......2004-02-07

Any album Tiesto makes or remixed song he does, you can guarantee it will put you in a TRANCE through a musical journey! I have most of his albums from all his MAGIK series and In Search of Sunrise 1,2, and 3. Including his double CD "Nyana".
I also recommend getting "Tiesto In Concert" DVD, he puts on a GREAT show!

Epic trance~tiesto.......2004-01-26

Rich, soothing, energetic, and empowering with killer melodies and mind blowing breakdowns, this album is totaly organic and 100% awesome from the first track strait to the end. But who could expect less from tiesto? The man is a genious. Are there any cds by him that dont have at least 4 stars? I dont think so. My favorites are magik 3,5,6, insearch of sunrise 3&1, nyana, and forbiddon paradice 7 - deep forest.

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

VERY DISSAPOINTED!.......2006-02-23

Let me make this short!
This album is from my favorite series.
This was quite disappointing because there was no direction he was going with this album.

His mixing skills were above average but what I think he did wrong here was that he was just trying to get some great songs and put them together so that it would be one of the best albums.

All the tracks here are great. And I think Tiesto knew that and thought that if you heard all these tracks in one mix (that it would be great) but NO the idea didn't came out that great.

Some songs had too much of a different feeling than the other.
But really ALL tracks here are great.

The Magik series is so great for putting songs and making them special its not about getting great songs and putting it in 1 album. Go pick up Magik 1 for a better mix but those songs aren't good as these but at least Magik 1 can represent the series better than this.

Verdict: 3.4 out of 5.0 Something big here is seriously missing 'The originality' probably. But all these songs are so great that the tracks easily get a 4 or a 5 out of 5. Lets hope that his ISOS5 Los Angeles won't sound like because then he will just disappoint me again.

A genuine masterpiece.......2005-11-11

Tiësto is a legend in this genre, and it's proven with all of his Magik albums. He has never disappointed me, and I was in awe when I first listened to this CD. It opens beautifully with the song 'Eternity' written by Tiësto and the great Armin Van Buuren. I've often wondered what a song would sound like that was written by both of these trance gods, and this song was everything I could ever imagine. The album proceeds strongly, but I feel that it reaches its first peak at 'Open Your Mind' by Yahel. This is a gorgeous song, starting off with strong bass and a building melody, but then it slows in the center and becomes melancholy and almost angelic. The CD continues on without a dull song, and it finishes in a wondrous finale. Overall, this album is a must-have for any Tiësto fans, trance lovers, or anybody searching for deep, uplifting music.

TRANCE !!!!!.......2005-09-29

DJTiesto interpreta cabalmente el concepto TRANCE, que muchas veces es confundido con CHILL OUT, o inclusive con HIP HOP. Sentarme frente a los 8.500 PMPO y disfrutar de la musica TRANCE by TIESTO es para mi lo maximo. El agotamiento de una semana de de trabajo desaparece.

The Best Magik.......2005-04-03

Usually when I first buy a CD (especially mix albums) I like to just scan through to get an idea of the tracks I would like. This time was different. Basically, I listened to the entire album nonstop. Only a couple exceptions: Tracks 12 and 13 didn't really catch my attention and seemed a little out of place with other such outstanding songs. Other than that, I have no other complaints about this album and remains my favorite Magik of them all. It even includes my favorite trance song of all time: Alone in the Dark by Airwave.

This is high quality electronica from one of the best DJs out there and I would recommend it to any fan of trance.

Aural Crucifiction..........2005-02-14

The ancient greeks believed that everything on the physical earth was a reflection of a perfect form for that object, that was untangible but existent. And there is alot of trance albums floating around. This CD is close - and i mean DAMN close- to being that perfect expression of trance beyond reality.

This Album exists in a state higher than most trance. It encompasses all the aspects of classic trance- soaring atmoshperics, rolling snares, swelling beats. But the presentation is outstanding, and nearly each track lifts the listener higher and higher up an electronic ladder that reaches to the heavens. It reaches unconquerable heights.

There are 2 tracks that seem out of place here... They are pretty much the only thing keeping this album from being perfect. Track 12 and 13 are odd, annoying nu-house songs that only temporarily break the spell on this album. Whether intentionally or not, Tiesto put these 2 tracks together. And so, it's just as easy as pressing skip twice. Then you're back to trance nirvana.

This CD will make you itch if you use headphones. The power of the sound, the swelling energy that exists almost always in a perfect harmony between uplifting, edginess, and calm expression of deep thought. This music should be blasted from speakers into a field, and throw away those f*cking lightsticks- cuz you're gonna dance.

"Tiesto is a genius" is an understatement. Ladies and gentlemen, this is trance.

a classic.......2006-12-16

This set is one of the best and also a classic set of Tiesto's. His track selection was great for this one. If you listen to it and you are in the right mood, you will get goosebumps when you hear the crowd . If you have been to any great party, concert, or event when the crowd cheers and you get goosbumps...then you will know what I mean.

A solid release, but it's live all right.......2006-09-25

At first I too found the occasional audience noise distracting if not outright annoying, especially on the quieter parts, but after several listens I don't notice the crowd as much. I would have preferred the audience to be excised completely from the recording but what are you gonna do? Because this is a really good cd with an excellent choice of tracks and a very good flow and vibe to it I recommend it. DJ Tiësto proves once again why he is considerred a top DJ (MUCH better than that Amin Van Urine clown). Just beware of the audience noise.

Takes a while.......2006-09-21

By the third track, this album should have engulfed you. If not, I don't know what to tell you. The transitions aren't that smooth, but there is a classic feel to this album.

One of the best trance cd's ever!.......2006-07-16

This is a very nice set! All of the tracks are really good and I highly recommend it. Take it from someone who knows their electronic music. A must have!!

Everything he's done and why he does it!.......2006-04-27

The reason why Tiesto is and always will be the best Trance DJ on the planet is because he does not do it for money its because he loves the music and the way it affects the people he plays it for. Its all about the music and always will be. every mix or album he has put together or mixed is emotional thats why its so good.

This album is awesome!.......2006-07-21

I would pick this one up first if you are new to Tiesto. Much better than ISOS LA. It's almost symphonic and trance oriented in the same mix.

(*Can't decide for title*).......2006-01-16

This is just a great album!
A must buy if you are a Tiesto fan, trance lover, but I don't know about those that are just starting to listening to trance.

This album came out in 2001 and during that time I didn't listen to trance so I don't know if this was hot during that time. I am the guy that likes my trance hard and loud most of the time, and when I don't want to listen to that I'll listen to some smooth trance from ISOS3.

All I have to say is now I agree with the world. I wasn't very happy about Dj Tiesto being #1 Dj but now I see that this Dj has been mixing some good music for years now and deserves the number one shot.

This isn't club music and barely any vocals on it. This album won't give the true feeling of trance the "journey off to another world".

This is just some good trance but I must say the first couple of minutes were terrible. For those that got this and listened to it and took it out from your CD players should know that it gets way better later into the album.

But I must also agree this isn't that much of a great album cause he still had to learn much more to be a great trance mixer that he is now.

Now this is what I expect in my mixes (and I don't care who is mixing nor what is the mood of the album):

1.) At least 3 songs that will be appealing to me making the album worth a spin.
2.) Not be lost during the mix (meaning one song is clubbing music then the other is suddenly some weird trance song that can't be danced to)
3.) All songs to have a feeling as one (perfect examples are ISOS3, ASOT 2005, Magik 4.

That all I ask in my mixes and Tiesto does a good job one doing that in this album except for the third one which is a very important thing.

For me all the tracks in the album were in their own class.

Here I'll try to explain myself better.
In Magik 6 Dj Tiesto did a great job on having the people dance till the beginning to the end. But the album for me wasn't great just cause each track was good it was a great album cause he made all the tracks feel as one big adventure. His mixing skills were flawless in that album but in this album he didn't do that well, he just tried to put a song after the other by doing that the listener couldn't experience to the mixing sensation.

Also I think I am just being nice to Tiesto on giving him 3 stars cause all this guy did was mix them, I should be giving the producers the 3 stars for making the good trance music.

Verdict: 2.9 out of 5.0 Great trance except for the first couple of songs and also this was the beginning to Dj Tiesto transformation to becoming the top Dj of what he is now. Great stuff! Buy it if you like ASOT 2005 or want to hear to "the prequel" to Magik 6.

Like Butter.......2005-10-16

This is simply a classic Tiesto production. Beautifully crafted with the utmost attention paid to the melding of one track to the next. This is a flippin' clinic for trance dj's aspiring for greatness. Tiesto is frankly the Illest dj in the world and i honestly don't see a changing of the guard anyime soon. This cd is for real...(even if you lose touch with reality over the course of it's dissemination). After all, (this is a trip mind you), you will return to earth surely appreciative. More trance appropriation of Tiesto fascination in the nation. With or without self medication. SEA-YAS BINNESS FO SHO.

hint: It's the polar opposite of "out of order"

Yahtzee

A mirical working dj!.......2005-02-25

Dont get me wrong, Dj Tiesto is the leading dj out there. With the most relaxing yet mind racing productions. But this is my least favorite cd he's put out. Possibly one or two tracks here that could exite you but if you want to catch a drift of what he's about I have some other suggestions for you. The entire trilogy of ISOS. It will take you through emotions you were un-aware of, and back.

Ho-Hum.......2007-06-27

I love music, and I divide it into two broad categories: music that I devote all my attention to, and music that I'll put on the spin if I want something in the background while other stuff is going on.

This CD falls into the 2nd category. Very generic stuff when, given DJ Tiesto's name, I was really hoping for an experience. A good album should make me feel like I've been somewhere, sort of like reading a book. Didn't happen for me.

Tiesto's weakest CD.......2005-07-15

I am a big fan of Tiesto, esp. the ISOS series, but this CD was truly disappointing. I found it to be bland throughout, with no particularly inspiring melodies or peaks. By far the weakest of the Magik CD's, and the worst Tiesto CD that I have heard.

Save your money and buy any of the ISOS series or Magik 1,4, or 5 instead.

Amazing CD, utterly, simply, fantastically so..........2004-10-07

First, I would love to thank all the reviews here. I never would have brought it if I didn't read how great this CD was. I never brought any CD from DJ Tiesto, but I heard many of his songs on Launch Radio. I don't think I'm new to listening to Trance, but I don't know who's the best or everything about the genre. Anyway, I wanted to try the CD out and I knew it couldn't be horrible because I always loved every song I heard from Tiesto. The CD arrived today and already I'm in love with the music. I love to buy CD's that put me in the mood to write. This CD in particular, even though I'm only on track 7, which is by far the best one I heard yet, extremely superb, is fabulous. This music in seconds, literally sends my mind into that journey, it's hauntingly beautiful. Another reason why I brought this CD is because I love fall weather, and trust me, tomorrow when it's cold outside and windy, I'm going to have this CD blasting in my ear, slamming those beats while the wind blows. I agree... this CD is prefect amongst any fall day, any track. I highly recommend this CD, it's an out of body experience. This CD makes me want to venture on to more volumes of the Magik series.

I'd rate it 10 stars if I could.......2004-07-02

Wow...This CD blew me away. From the start of the CD all the way through the end, I was amazed at the beauty and hypnotic sound. My favorite songs are 'Stand By', 'I Love the Music', and 'Trancestors.' Every track is wonderful, though. If you liked Magik Vol. 1, then this CD by the amazing DJ Tiësto is a must-have for sure because the CD really does live up to its title: Magik.

Beautiful music.......2004-03-10

This is truly beautiful and moving trance music. As a previous reviewer posted, it seems to be overlooked by many people. This is sad because along with Magik 6 this has to be the best of the Magik series. This is not the high energy 'trance' that is played across dancefloors today.

"Story of the Fall" is such an appropriate title for this album. This is a sonic journey into achingly beautiful and emotive music that has an unmistakeable undertone of melancholy and sadness that underlies the beauty of the mellow melodies. As the picture on the album cover illustrates, this album is like the last bittersweet and glorious shout that nature gives in the autumn before it surrenders to the harshness of winter.

This album makes me cry. Magik 2 is all about good trance music from beginning to end.

Holy Crap, Now I Can Die Happy!!!.......2005-11-18

Holy Crap, Now I Can Die Happy!!!

Wow amazed by Dj Tiesto's work. This album is the reason he is my favorite Dj out there.

Speechless for describing the unique sounds and the music that really can make ANYONE dance even though if they do not like trance.

Let me try to describe it and as you all know that have heard that it is just great music.

1.)(Feel Me-Darkstar)5:58-a woman with vocals just saying a two word but some alright trance to back it up for those in a happy mood or an alright mood can enjoy this and probably dance a little but it doesn't make me want to dance. The beat is not unique for me cause even though I might be new to listening to trance I still thing it is basic. But like in the third minute or so an instrument comes to make it better but still not making me want to dance.

2.)(Northern Spirit-Kamaya)4:17- as you would have notice that while listening to it you will find this mix great cause you won't know what track you are cause the mix is so great. The beat stays the same as how the first one ended. This beat slowly changes which I do not mind cause what comes in the song like in the third minute will be strange but the third song comes in

3.) (Everlast-The Ambush)3:56-It start with a weird sound like a guy saying hiphop that is what it sounds for me. But then the first minute it gets good with a basic beat. It got to me and was interesting cause while listening to this I started thinking of the rainforest(wierd but cool) then in the third minute it goes with the strangest beat in the whole album and after seconds I learned to love it caue the last minute is warming up for the next track which is my favorite one

4.) (Easter Island(Cygnus X Mix)-Art Of Trance)4:02-It has that strange beat like a sleeping dead hollow beat(told you it was strange) Then later it goes kinda normal beat then WOW IT GOES TO THE BEST BEAT!!!! THE BEAT THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE THE ONE THAT WILL MAKE EVERYONE STOP JUMPING AND START MAKING YOU DANCING FOR REAL NO GLOW STICKS NOTHING LIKE THAT REAL DANCING I love every second of it then it goes with some calm beat

5.) (Aira Force(Main Mix)-Arrakis)5:27-It has a good beat to it but come on we can see that it isn't better than the other one then it changes to another beat soon in the song it starts slow then faster and louder and so one then the real beat goes in probably making others dance but it only got me moving not dancing

6.) (Synthetica(Extended Mix)-Sean Dexter)4:36- I must say I love the beat it is kinda imotional but more like dancing beat it stays with the beat making it louder I say its more than basic but not a outstanding song then someone speaks(lol) it still think that was not needed. It leaves with a unique beat

7.) (Scatterbomb(String Mix)-The Sneaker)4:53-The beat for me is fresh unique probably the only beat I hear here that I didn't expect. My guess it was trying to go an imotional phase cause man I am telling you right now this song but me and many immotionals while I was resting. Some strange guy talking to end the song up.

8.) (Your Own Reality(Tracid Mix)-Kai Tracid)2:22-Some normal trance finally a calm beat to prepare you of what is coming. To leave the phase you were while listening to tracks. It has a trance feeling to it the whole song.

9.) (We Came-Vimana)7:32-Basic trance for me not bad for the first minute it is clam then the journey will start in the 1:30 to the song which is a great introduction to the journey with the unique feeling that you are being lifted the as the Bang happens the feeling I had was like damn this music is great cause my whole body felt good.

While staying with the trance feeling in the background and the unique one happening it is just good then a beat goes in making me feel happy for some reason but then (lol) for some reason it goes to the trance feeling leaving people blind and being dissapointed but then it comes back again and soon you will have the feeling again but now better and more emotional making me feel odd can't describe the feeling that good so I won't try.

10.) (Trommelmaschine-Der Dritte Raum) Not bad so the start then it makes some instrument beat like cuba dancing music (that is my words for it) ends alright.

11.)(Sparkles-Dj Tiesto)5:47-Oh yeah the famous Sparkles finally the supposely called masterpiece is reached, lets just say I expected more even though it is good trance I thought it was going to make me cry like many said. But man I will say this that while listening to the whole album it got me quiet emotion. It gets emotional like in the third minute or so and started making me different not no more like the other tracks kinda empty inside lonely(this music really got into me) the emotional beat is a simply beat but wow really good but come on I expected to cry!

12.) (Communication-Armin Van Buuren)6:03-A great trance Dj is one this album and does a great job staying with the feeling of the album not bad if I may say. It has a beat the will sink you in and grab you but no where to emotional but great music.

13.) (We Ran At Dawn-Allure)3:57-(lol) the first seconds remind me of Street Fighter(come on we all played the game and if you remember the music listen to the first seconds and it reminds you of that) well back to the review. Not bad staying with a fresh feeling no where to emotional but some good trance which for me was fresh.

14.) (Exceptionally Beautiful-Loop Control)4:12- Trance like many other out there. It will make many people jump. Just cause this one is short doesn't mean I hate it I liked cause of the trance feeling but for me I wanted more.

15.) (I Feel My..(Extended Instrumental)-Mox Epoque fea. Nina)3:58-Loud music baby and reminds my of Traffic for some reason but this is no where same as Traffic it has an awesome beat to it but lets imagine what great f**king music can be accomplish when this song meets Traffic. Well I moving beat to it but in the end not unique.

16.) (Pulsar(Picotto Tea Mix)-Mauro Picotto)3:05-Last song to this great album. It stays with the same beat and never changes and some voice in the song I think it is a great song to end the album


Well I hope this was helpful and I would recommend this to anyone the first 30 mins was amazing and the other minutes were with emotion and to have the best experience but this one on your best system and put it high and just do nothing but listen but do not put it on any computer cause it will ruin the mix.

Verdict to all: 7.5 out of 5.0 YES IT IS THAT GOOD AND THIS IS MY FIRST MAGIK CD AND I WANT TO HEAR ALL MAGIK CAUSE THIS ONE IS GREAT!!

A new adventure 4 trance fans..........2005-09-11

Over the past few mths i have collected a lot of tiestos albums, and 4 listenin 2 4rm srt 2 finish in my opinion this is 2nd only 2 magik 6. As previously stated the endin is xceptional but i cnt understand how the srt can b described as bland! the whole cd is gr8 and highly recommended!

DJ Tiesto does it again!.......2004-02-23

All i can say is that this is another great Magik CD.

Best parts include DJ Tiesto's own "Sparkles", Armin Van Buuren's "Communication", Loop Control's "Exceptionally Beautiful" and of course the big fat beats of Mario Picotto's "Pulsar".

I've noticed that a lot of the Magik albums have a great ending, and this one is no exception.

Pretty good, but Tiesto can be soo much better !.......2003-05-31

This is one of the earlier Tiesto compilations, and although it does have a few brilliant tracks, overall it's not that great. Still, a must CD for any Tiesto fan, but for an average person who likes Trance, there are far better CDs out there(ie. Magik 6).

Cool Trance Out of this World.......2002-08-15

Tiesto at his best.
Good Very Good Trance as anyone.
Perfect for me!
Good Luck,
Hildely

has a special cut on it.......2007-03-31

"sunrise at palamos" is one of the most beautiful trance instrumental "anthems" i've ever heard

(TEAR).......2006-09-23

I think I'm falling in love with Tiesto. Ahh.. the first album I heard of Tiesto. Still of my favorites by him. Epic and amazing. To say otherwise is slander.

For Tiesto fan's only, not his best, but decent.......2006-01-08

This album is a nice mellow listen and is not really typical of a Tiesto live set. Most of his sets are very different, however, this mix seems a little planned. The reason why is it is almost identical to the Virgin label release of Revloution: The Brightside disc. It is nice to hear the crowd as it is not overbearing on this cd. The tracklisting is not anything spectacular, but the mixing for the most part is decent. I wouldn't recommend it as a first time Tiesto purchase. For that, I would purchase any of the first three In Search of Sunrise cd's or Majik 6, Live From Amsterdam. It is a nice cd to listen to as backfround music, but not a classic like the aforementioned mixes.

Another great live set from Tiesto.......2005-11-22

Here is another great set from the Dutch DJ. This CD takes you on a ride from start to finish through mountains of flowing and thumping music. Great tracks from Jan Johnston, Ballroom, Insigma, The Auranaunt and Utah Saints are played in a live session in Los Angeles "just to help you get your groove on". Prepare for a wild ride and beat from Tiesto in this set.

First time fans passover this cd........2004-04-20

I'm a huge Tiesto fan. This would not be the case had this CD been my introduction to him. The Jan Jackson vocals are downright annoying. The tone is depressive and even the beats felt like they were aiming to make me suicidal. I don't know how this mix, being live, could have kept the ravers dancin.
