Tiesto's latest on Ultra Records is a collection of his past and present catalog of hits which by the way are all separate individual tracks, not beat mixed. The problem I had with this collection isn't with the songs themselves but the shortened time lengths on certain songs. Don't be fooled by Amazon's tracklist times of some of these songs, many are incorrect. What they have listed is the download version of "Magikal Journey" not the physical cd itself which is what I'm reviewing. For example On Disc One "Suburban Train" clocks in at 3:25, "Lethal Industry" at 2:44, "Just Be" at 3:12, - all edited versions. Onto Disc Two which highly edits "In The Dark" to 4:36, "Elements Of Life" (a live version radio edit no less) clocks in at 3:34, and "Carpe Nocturne" at 4:34! You'd think that considering the second disc which runs a tad over sixty three minutes, they'd have added longer versions, but again the customer gets shafted. In my opinion some of Tiesto's best songs have been chopped to pieces and some mediocre ones given their full length versions. And why a Tiesto 2010 remix of "In The Dark" at the end of the second disc? Quite frankly if this is the best Tiesto (or Ultra Records) could come up with as a collection of his past and present songs it's pretty pathetic.

1.0 out of 5 stars Tiesto Goes Pop, August 19, 2010

I agree with the reviewers that were critical of the song selections. Beware that this is a collection of mostly short, pop songs. Disappointing, because DJ Tiesto is a master at creating unique and relaxing moods with his long instrumental creations. If you have a short list of favorite trance songs, better get the CD they came on instead, or just download your favorites.

DJ Tiesto was a great addition to the TRANCE genre. His seven SUNRISES are all amazing. BUT: he started totally change his style with KALEIDOSCOPE = "too thin layered" - he can do better. It almost sounds like he put his name on somebody-else' amateur work.

And: MAGICAL JOURNEY might have all his hits, but they are NOT mixed together. As such, ... whenever you get your hopes / feelings up, ... there ... is ... a ... break. I listened to it once and since I have all those hits perfectly mixed on THE SUNRISES, I threw it in the trash.

If you are a real TRANCE fan, ... don't bother with this one.
