4.0 out of 5 stars Really good!, December 2, 2004

By	D. Pfeiffer "jf_sebastian" (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This one is great driving and working out music. It evoked an emotional response with clever use of melody. The other tracks from Just Be fit in well and it didn't bother me that they were included. This is a milestone work for the Tiesto's career and gerne. Some of it had me probing the inner recesses of my mind. Very visual music. I must pick up more by Tiesto.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazing ceremony, amazing music!!!!!!!!!!!, February 12, 2005

By	E. Lambousis "harula2" (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having been there, the cd would be a definite buy. Not his best work but the whole opening ceremony was so overwhelming that one must collect as much memmorabilia as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing combo of classical and trance, January 17, 2005

By	Oliver Heaviside (Europe) - See all my reviews

Sure, most of the songs, we've all heard in previous Tiesto albums. And if you haven't, well, buy this album and In Search of Sunrise 3 and you've got a good start.

Let's talk about the new songs in this album. Finally, someone has mixed together classical with trance, and not screwed it up, in fact has made it joyous.

We got a glimpse before in Just Be's "Adagio for Strings" which is also here. But now I see that Tiesto was just warming up. In this album the new tunes clearly embrace classical music, and do it masterfully.

Case in point: Athena. In the middle of this song you find yourself listening to pure classical. Then, slowly but surely, Tiesto adds in subtle layer after layer of beats and synths until one minute later you're in the middle of bangin' trance. It makes me want to dance and jump with excitment every time I hear it, and is now one of my top 3 favorite Tiesto songs.

"Coming Home" and "Victorious" are also the other new uplifting, classically-inspired songs that you just can't miss.

If you find the combo of classical and trance shocking, I dare you to re-listen to Beethoven's 9th for the first time.
