Been listening to Tiesto for over a decade now... His style has changed, but it's been for the better. PVD and AVB sound a lot alike, and haven't changed that much from the original trance roots. That doesn't stop me from buying their CD's by any means. Love 'em both. Tiesto has always kind of been a pioneer in my eyes for new styles of music and attacks on the trance scene. He's not a God...but he's damn close.

This is sick!! I used to be a Huge Tiesto Fan in his Just be days and then I moved to House Music... It's interesting to listen something really different from him ... Shows thats he is adapting to new times :)

Amazing tune that just keeps growing. Those chip tunes that begin at 2:30 are just awesome <3

Know I do really miss his old trance music. This is only good for a few days in a club or something. But tracks like "Forever Today" and "Adagio For Strings" will never die!!

It is great to hear that Tiësto can do so many styles of music, from chilling classical trance to this very serious techno-like music.

I'm totally with the people supporting Tiesto. Him moving into other styles is not a bad idea, he doesn't do just trance, he can do any style he tries, and it comes out awesome.
