The ancient greeks believed that everything on the physical earth was a reflection of a perfect form for that object, that was untangible but existent. And there is alot of trance albums floating around. This CD is close - and i mean DAMN close- to being that perfect expression of trance beyond reality.

This Album exists in a state higher than most trance. It encompasses all the aspects of classic trance- soaring atmoshperics, rolling snares, swelling beats. But the presentation is outstanding, and nearly each track lifts the listener higher and higher up an electronic ladder that reaches to the heavens. It reaches unconquerable heights.

There are 2 tracks that seem out of place here... They are pretty much the only thing keeping this album from being perfect. Track 12 and 13 are odd, annoying nu-house songs that only temporarily break the spell on this album. Whether intentionally or not, Tiesto put these 2 tracks together. And so, it's just as easy as pressing skip twice. Then you're back to trance nirvana.

This CD will make you itch if you use headphones. The power of the sound, the swelling energy that exists almost always in a perfect harmony between uplifting, edginess, and calm expression of deep thought. This music should be blasted from speakers into a field, and throw away those f*cking lightsticks- cuz you're gonna dance.

"Tiesto is a genius" is an understatement. Ladies and gentlemen, this is trance.

Usually when I first buy a CD (especially mix albums) I like to just scan through to get an idea of the tracks I would like. This time was different. Basically, I listened to the entire album nonstop. Only a couple exceptions: Tracks 12 and 13 didn't really catch my attention and seemed a little out of place with other such outstanding songs. Other than that, I have no other complaints about this album and remains my favorite Magik of them all. It even includes my favorite trance song of all time: Alone in the Dark by Airwave.

This is high quality electronica from one of the best DJs out there and I would recommend it to any fan of trance.

This CD rocks my world. You'd swear these songs were made for this mix. Also, most of the songs haven't been played out on twenty other CD's (yet). Try Tiesto Live at Innercity first. If you like, you'll want more. Here is the song list:

01 DJ Tiesto & Armin van Burren Present Alibi - Eternity (Innercity mix) 02 Allure - No More Tears 03 Kamaya Painters - Cryptonesia 04 Atlantis - Fiji 05 Twilight - Platina (Mauris Paardekoper Remix) 06 Eve - Riser 07 Fire & Ice - Neverending Melody 08 Yahel - Open Your Mind (Magikal Remake) 09 Airwave - Alone in the Dark 10 Chant - Sweet Images (DJ Sakin & Friends Remix) 11 Deniro - State of Mind 12 DJ Merlyn - Krass 13 Mario Piu (DJ Arabesque) - Serendipity (Mas mix) 14 Oliver Lieb - Subraumstimulation (Main mix) 15 Trans - Supernova 16 Rank 1 - Airwave

This is one of DJ Tiesto's top three mixes, third only to In Search of Sunrise 1 and 2. The first time I listened to this mix I was blown away. The great energy filled build ups and the way it makes you feel is like no other. This mix is packed full of awesome tracks everyone superb in their own very special way. As you near the end of this mix you will be pumped up and energized by Transa's Supernova. That track is full of great melodys that you'll fall in love with after that comes Rank 1's classic, Airwave. This track really sums up the whole mix and gives you the feeling you were part of something speical, which you were. This is a great trance mix that everyone should own!!! I could give it higher than 5, I would!!

This CD is a must have for all Tiesto followers, and should be the first CD to buy if you are new to this wonderful DJ. I like all types of Trance and appreciate the variety that exists within the genre--from Diggers to Oakey. I would have to say if you are looking for a CD that you can dance to and that takes you on an uplifting journey, then Heaven Beyond is a must have. "No More Tears," the 2nd track on this CD, by itself is worth the money.

Yes, this album is excellent. This is an excellent example of Tiesto's style. Highly emotional, progressive trance. This is not for the timid. The opening track allows you to settle nicely into this mix, which brings you out, up , down, sideways. If you have an ear for trance you know what I mean. Track 4, Fiji-Atlantis is especially sexy, tracks 7,8,9 will perpetuate you into deep thought. The final track is a classic by all means. This is emotional trance at its finest by the Man himself.

All of the songs on this CD are wonderful, and I believe it to be DJ Tiesto's best compilation. His opening song, Fiji, and DJ Sakin's song are all trance classics. I highly recommend this CD to anybody who loves DJ Tiesto/DJ Sakin/progressive trance from 1999-2000.

Heaven Beyond is the perfect title for Tiesto's 5th album in the magik series. A cd so perfect you can dance to, chill to, sleep to and listen to while driving the car. Heaven Beyond is not for the "mainstream progressive" people. This is for the people who feel the music. Emotional Trance at its best. And who better than Dj Tiesto to put in another dimension.

This is the first magik album I've bought so far, but I'm going to buy them all! This album has some of the greatest melodies I've ever heard mixed my any dj. I can only hope the other magiks will be half as good as this. :)

This CD shows Tiesto as he was prior to year 2000. At the time, though not yet recognized as a top DJ, he was in fact at his prime. If you are are into Trance and are looking for melodic and possibly melancholic music, then this CD is for you. The choice of tracks is absolutely perfect, there are no fillers - everything is just quality Trance.
