This is truly beautiful and moving trance music. As a previous reviewer posted, it seems to be overlooked by many people. This is sad because along with Magik 6 this has to be the best of the Magik series. This is not the high energy 'trance' that is played across dancefloors today.

"Story of the Fall" is such an appropriate title for this album. This is a sonic journey into achingly beautiful and emotive music that has an unmistakeable undertone of melancholy and sadness that underlies the beauty of the mellow melodies. As the picture on the album cover illustrates, this album is like the last bittersweet and glorious shout that nature gives in the autumn before it surrenders to the harshness of winter.

This album makes me cry. Magik 2 is all about good trance music from beginning to end.

First, I would love to thank all the reviews here. I never would have brought it if I didn't read how great this CD was. I never brought any CD from DJ Tiesto, but I heard many of his songs on Launch Radio. I don't think I'm new to listening to Trance, but I don't know who's the best or everything about the genre. Anyway, I wanted to try the CD out and I knew it couldn't be horrible because I always loved every song I heard from Tiesto. The CD arrived today and already I'm in love with the music. I love to buy CD's that put me in the mood to write. This CD in particular, even though I'm only on track 7, which is by far the best one I heard yet, extremely superb, is fabulous. This music in seconds, literally sends my mind into that journey, it's hauntingly beautiful. Another reason why I brought this CD is because I love fall weather, and trust me, tomorrow when it's cold outside and windy, I'm going to have this CD blasting in my ear, slamming those beats while the wind blows. I agree... this CD is prefect amongst any fall day, any track. I highly recommend this CD, it's an out of body experience. This CD makes me want to venture on to more volumes of the Magik series.

Tieso....what can i say, he is just amazing, i guess thats why he is rated #1 dj at the moment. Magik 2 is one of his best,it is packed full of uplifting and melodic trance and is seamlessly mixed. I would HIGHLY recomend this cd to any real trance fan out there. you should also check out magik 6 live in amsterdam, this is his best in my opinion and lets you see why Tiesto is #1.

Wow...This CD blew me away. From the start of the CD all the way through the end, I was amazed at the beauty and hypnotic sound. My favorite songs are 'Stand By', 'I Love the Music', and 'Trancestors.' Every track is wonderful, though. If you liked Magik Vol. 1, then this CD by the amazing DJ Tiësto is a must-have for sure because the CD really does live up to its title: Magik.

Seems like this album is kinda passed up by a lot of people but it's definitely worth it and, in my opinion, one of the better albums in the Magik series. Flows nicely and has some very tracks that really take me back to when this was made (read : When Trance was good) Track 10 "Elevate" stands out to me and theres a lot of other tracks that are very solid. All in all a good listen start to finish. 5 Stars.

This is a great cd from Tiesto. If you are a Tiesto fan this is one of his first albums. It show his greatness as a DJ. I really enjoy listening to it and I'm sure that if your a fan like I am you will enjoy it too.

This second Magik Compilation mixed by DJ Tiesto is yet another great CD. After the first "Magik-First Flight" hit, this Magik II continues the best of Tiesto's work. Tiesto brings out the best of these artists: "Binary Finary-1998", "Taucher-Waters", "HH-Planetary", and "Groovezone-I love the Music" sounds like no other DJ who mixes. Tiesto is a rising star in progressive trance!

I love music, and I divide it into two broad categories: music that I devote all my attention to, and music that I'll put on the spin if I want something in the background while other stuff is going on.

This CD falls into the 2nd category. Very generic stuff when, given DJ Tiesto's name, I was really hoping for an experience. A good album should make me feel like I've been somewhere, sort of like reading a book. Didn't happen for me.

I am a big fan of Tiesto, esp. the ISOS series, but this CD was truly disappointing. I found it to be bland throughout, with no particularly inspiring melodies or peaks. By far the weakest of the Magik CD's, and the worst Tiesto CD that I have heard.

Save your money and buy any of the ISOS series or Magik 1,4, or 5 instead.
