Tiësto - Magikal Journey: The Hits Collection 1998 - 2008

The minute you have an album in your hands saying “The Hits Collection”, you just know the artist whose hits have been collected is one of rare breed. To be able to add a “Hits Collection” album to the discography marks a crown on ones career and the fact it took a double CD to collect them thoroughly, makes this album even more admirable. Feast your ears on one decade of Tiësto singles; an impressive summary of his global hits, no exceptions.

To list all the accomplishments and awards Tiësto collected over the years, and the experiences he encountered in his long career, would be a mission impossible.  Superlatives will run short to describe this man’s work. Ever since his memorable Innercity gig back in 1999, still considered to be his breakthrough performance, even the sky became limitless. Three times elected as the # 1 DJ on the planet, remixing motion picture themes, producing for Playstation, performing during the Olympic Games… if there would be a first DJ ever playing in outer space, Tiësto would be it. Here you have it: one album, two CD’s, with hits and hits only. The majority of the Tiësto catalogue in original versions and remixes which became hits all over again on the rebound. Anthems like Flight 643, Suburban Train, Adagio For Strings and Lethal Industry still appeal to dance music lovers worldwide and are still being played out, whether in original versions or in revamped mixes from the likes of Richard Durand, Hardwell, Laidback Luke, Sander van Doorn and others. Tiësto personally honored his album by adding his own reworks of his singles In The Dark, In My Memory and Just Be to the tracklist. His alliances with esteemed artists such as BT, Maxi Jazz, Junkie XL and American vocalist JES - amongst others - sums up the global impact this Dutch DJ had and still has in the industry.   An essential item for both the Tiësto fan as well as dance music devotees in general!      Disc 1.   1.
