I got Tiesto’s [[amazon:B0000931QO Nyana]] double disc compilation a few weeks ago, and have been listening to parts of it almost daily. I’ve actually nearly worn myself sick of it, but that won’t bias my writeup.

Tiesto is not my favourite DJ, as his tastes vary more than I’d like. Of course, the stuff he choses to put in his sets is always very tight, well produced stuff. He just wanders too far into house sometimes for my liking—a matter of taste, not skill.

The first disc’s intro track didn’t really do much, but track 2 definitely picks up the slack. There are some great tunes on here that are a now mainstays, such as Darren Tate vs. Jono Grant – Let The Light Shine. Conjure One’s track is a great choice (overplayed for me though), and Love Angel – The Gift and Solar Factor – Urban Shakedown is some excellent floor-thumping trance.

Disc two has the lovely Andain – Beautiful Things and Motorcyle’s As The Rush Comes. Holden & Thompson’s kickass Nothing still blows me away, and P.O.S. – Remember is completely killer.

All in all, a decent offering. Not all of these tracks belong in the Top DJ’s record box in my opinion, nor on this album. But the highs are high enough that they blow the curve for the crap tracks.
