In Search of Sunrise, Vol. 7: Asia

Yes. Tiesto has done it again. A super double CD. They both have a unique sound, very soft bass and clear sound. The bass sounds almost like it used to sound with maxi LP vinyl time. The hole packige is well planned and it is a real pleasure to listen to it. I usually can't listen the same CD right after I've listened it the first time but this time I had to begin from the start. And I mean listen. The music was not a background noise or muzak. The second time I used earphones to catch all the nyances the music on these CD's have. I really found my SUNRISE and I'm really happy I did buy this wonderful doubleCD.

Solid album when played from start to finish. I didn't like it the first time through, but I gave it another chance and can't stop listening to it. Not equal to Tiesto's previous In Search Of Sunrise installments, but a great album.

I have ALL the ISOS and many other Tiesto sets including several from the Magik series. I must say that disk 2 of this new ISOS is the best I've heard of the series, with the possible exception of 4 Latin America, also disk 2. I know many out there will argue that the original, or perhaps ISOS 3 is the best, but I guess it comes down to what you like. I'm not heavy into lyrics, but Tiesto does them better than most. This disk takes you on a journey and is non-stop 'till the disk ends. Disk 1 is OK, but you'll like it more if you also liked ISOS 4-6 first disks. I'm into the second disks more myself.

me as a DJ, i don't usually buy full cd's from DJ's, i mostly just get what's hot single wise on vinyl most times that is when dealing w/ dance music... due to the location of where i am at right now, the stores here don't sell any dance music. the closest to dance are NOW comps. NOW to me ain't dance, it's old top 40. so when i see a dance cd like Tiesto or Oakie up in there, i get it...

well, i must give the cd about a 3 3/4 to 4 star rating. i got the 2 cd set one... i def ripped alot of the tracks from my cd to my pc.. so i liked alot of what i heard, but i've heard better from Tiesto on past albums and mixes.. disc 1 is trance and what sounds like some house influence and tekno influence on it too. i like disc 1 better then 2, but 2 is good too. i liked the tracks w/ the vocals too more then the instrumentals. i agree w/ reviewer Snyder... it has a good balance of instrumental and vocal tracks on here.. personally i could of done w/ 2 extra vocal tracks, maybe 3, but that's just me. i'm not a huge vocal trance listener either, but Tiesto knows how to make that stuff work... as does ATB, Olive, and some others, etc...

so it's a good balance there. when i first started dj-ing, my passion was for this type of trance, and melodic/prog. trance... that was before i got into hard trance.. i like all kinds of electronica, from chill and trip hop to hard trance to a lil gabber, etc.. so i like all kinds of music/dance music.. it's a good cd, good mix... i liked what i heard... and alot of what's on disc 2 sounds more like symphonys to me.. i believe i heard a mandolin on one of the tracks.. it's a beautiful track too..

i can't say many bad things about cd, i did like it. reason why i say the low rating, is cuase i've heard better from tiesto on past albums. also becuase, the trance on this cd, is light.. compared to past stuff of his, it's light trance. i can't even say categorize it as melodic or prog. trance. to me, it's just light trance/trance... i think we can expect to see some of the tracks on here on some trance comps, like "This is Trance", and "Ultra Trance" mix cd's, etc... i'm sure some of these tracks will pop up on comps..

i wish Tiesto could have put on more tracks he actually created. his track is one that stands out on here...

all in all, not a bad cd... if you like the lighter side of trance.. a good buy, but nothing to rush to the record/music shop for..

This mix is so good. I mean, it's really good.
I've heard all of the ISOS series, and ISOS7 in my opinion is probably his most consistent (and by "consistent" i mean that there are very few tracks that you'd go out of your way to skip). ISOS6 was really good as well, but there are a few tracks here and there that I'll skip sometimes. There's not much at all to skip on ISOS7. The bridges from track to track are good, and the melodies are plenty.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I'm waiting to see if Tiesto can outdo this one; He's set a pretty high mark to top.

Question: Why do alot of people knock on ISOS4, as though ISOS5 blew it away?? Overall I think 4 is stronger than 5.
