Amazing tune that just keeps growing. Those chip tunes that begin at 2:30 are just awesome <3
@stacyv06
finally!!! i'm not the only one who thinks that of ATB. i respect him for giving us one of the biggest trance athem ever, but i haven't heard anything "new" or "innovating" from him since the 1990s! never hear of him anymore. that's what happens when you keep the same sound! as an artist myself, i respect tiesto for taking chances and being innovative!
@tiestofan9
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!!

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.
