Tiësto "Just Be"

It’s evident that with each passing year Tiësto continues to hone not only his DJ skills but his production skills too, as is made obvious with Just Be, his first original artist album since "In My Memory". The album was recorded over the fall of 2003 in Holland.

01 - Forever Today (12:03)
This epic opening track sets the overall tone for the album with a dark orchestral and cinematic feel. Co-produced by Geert Huinink (Magik Journey)

02 - Love Comes Again (vocals by BT)(8:11)
This time Tiësto teams up with LA-based Brian Transeau, BT for those who know what he’s been up to. Unlike other collaborations with fellow-producers, BT does not push any buttons, but actually provides the vocals for this innovative production. Tiësto has turned the song into a perfect mix of dancefloor sounds and mesmerizing melodies.

03 - Traffic (5:27)
The first single released in Europe hit the UK Top 40 and went straight to #1 in Holland, keeping Justin Timberlake off the top spot. A live favorite, traffic has become a signature anthem for Tiësto in clubs worldwide.

04 - Sweet Misery (vocals by Joanne Lloyd) (7:35)
Tiësto took one foot off the dancefloor with this haunting, powerfull song (co-written by the Nashville songwriting team of Jo Lloyd and Dan Muckala) and turned it into a driving, filmic track.

05 - Nyana (6:46)
This song first appeared on the mix CD of the same title and reappears here in it’s original unmixed form for the first time.

06 - UR (6:01)
One of the album’s down tempo moments, perfect for after hours chill-out sessions. Features Matt Hales (a.k.a. Aqualung), an up and coming singer-songwriter from the UK who came to Tiësto’s attention with his hit-single, strange and beautiful.

07 - Walking On Clouds (7:29)
Longtime collaborator Kirsty Hawkshaw (Opus 3) appears once again with Tiësto as she delivers the soaring top line over a track co-written and co-produced by Josh Gabriel (Motorcycle and Gabriel & Dresden)

08 - A Tear In The Open (9:24)
Tiësto visits gaelic grounds with this haunting epic tune, which lyrics reflect a love long lost. A true track which recalls the golden era of trance.

09 - Just Be (8:46)
The title track embodies many of the hallmarks of this album. A classic dance floor anthem true to Tiësto’s club roots featuring a strong melody and haunting vocals form co-writer Kirsty Hawkshaw.

10 - Adagio for Strings (7:23)
Tiësto reinterpretation of Barber’s Adagio for Strings. A powerful close to the album and a highlight of the Tiësto live set around the world, Adagio was originally produced as an introduction for Tiësto In Concert.

i luv it! :D

mmm... tiesto *heart*

Can't wait to hear the new songs =)

Traffic and Adagio For Strings are a great accomplishment on thier own.

[Tekno_Kid]

I smell a North American tour coming this summer :)

How is this album in comparison to Tiesto - Nyana?

I'm trying to decide if I should buy Nyana - double CD $17 - thumbs up or down? Already heard some of the tracks, they're nice but been around a while now.

[dj_zyx]

Tieso always impresses me with his work. It's well done, he is voted top DJ in the world in many magazines. Fav track so far from his work is Flight 643, I havent heard his latest stuff but i'll be sure to check it out.

[AqvaYak]

tiesto isn't so amazing. he doesnt do alot of his own productions or remixes. for example, the kamaya painters songs were written mostly by benno from rank 1, and urban train was written mostly by kid vicious. flight 643 is a rip off of D (dance in outer space) by scot project and im sure we've all heard ferry corsten's remake of adiago for strings. that being said... i still love tiesto.

hmm thats very strange because I've watched the Tiesto DVD, he basically said that he got the idea for Flight 643 when he was on the flight from spain to new york he said the plane had some turbulance and the sounds he used we're the sounds of the plane having turbulance...

[AqvaYak]

download the song if you dont believe me.

alot of larger producers have little respect for tiesto b/c he does little by himself.

if u dont believe me look at how many of his songs have a co-author.

nyana is worth the money... its one of my fav cds ....

his new one is pretty good though... i like mix cds a bit better though....

Love Comes Again reminds me of that song Chicane and Bryan Adams did together. I guess we can expect to see it on a bunch of MC Mario compilations.

it's nothing like it...rather than both have male vocals, Love Comes Again is much harder and edgy sounding, Don't Give Up doesn't even come close to it...if u aren't big on the vocals, instrumental should do it.

I was talking about commercial intent, not musical structure. Still, it doesn't change the fact that it will most likely appear on an MC Mario album when he's releasing albums like this these days:

[jdroom112]

Has anyone heard the new Tiesto vs Usher remix.....I think it is called my love is like yeah.

I have been trying to download it but no luck yet. Does anyone know if it is worth listening too?

[neoh]

02 - Love Comes Again

Ahh, that song is so uplifting, I just blare it with a little extra treble. Excellent track.
I believe Armin whipped that out at Twisted, awsome tune.

- neoh

[alia]

I saw Tiesto last weekend... changed his tune a little since last time I saw him... a little less airy trance i guess is how id describe the change... was still very good tho (well #3 what!)...

ill have to have a listen of this :)

also saw pete tong the same night... not so impressed :(
(expected more than i got)

A.

[neoh]

Pete tong? He did an essential mix last weekend. (Apr 25th)
ooohhh... did you see armin van buuren & tall paul? :)

There's a thread around somewhere here that you can download it.
