Tiesto "Adajio Of Strings"

[DJCraig Ryan]

I think that's what its called.

Anyhow when i heard it i thought it was an immense tune although i did hear it on a pretty good system.

It's got the riff out of Push "Universal Nation," and the kick is heavy especially for Tiesto!
You don't expect the Kick, it comes from nowhere. It sounds like Tiesto swings the EQ'ing of the track Bass-Heavy and cuts the mid and you can just hear the melody underneath, sounds very nice!

Any thoughts?

[Louk]

haha universal nation my ass :) its an old classical piece mate

i think - this as well as all the other versions except mat silver one are ****ing horrendous but thats just me

I liked tiestos older stuff (theme from norjfell and flight 643, Sparkles and the stuff with corsten) but not anything since

this remix is better than corstens i like it its well imaganative... so much happening many noises VERY good production best hes done for a long time

[Paul Nisbet]

Ferrys is untouchable imo, although i thought tiesto done a well good job of making it different. Hard as **** aswell.

Mat silvers one really doesnt float my boat, thought it sounded like the riff had been written on music 200 on the playstation.

[cascade]

very good but like people have said not as good as mat silvers.
dont think he would have created if william orbit didnt do it first. think its abit of priacy personally, 3rd time lucky? lol :lol:

good production same synth as tiesto always uses though, hes used the same patch for the last 3 tracks,
love comes again
traffic
and this adagio.

i also prefere his older stuff: in my memory, sparkles, loves on fire etc. :clap:

[Paul Nisbet]

lmfao, im oot on me own here, mat silvers one honestly made me feel sick. lol

[Tristan]

Classic peiceof Trance, heard it sooooooooooooo many times now though! :doh:

[sanders-]

there was no need for this mix.

Ferrys was good enough. tiesto should move on and get his own ideas. look at his oakenfold rip off of radiohead street spirit, its pish compared to oakenfolds.

amen to that bro.

[DJCraig Ryan]

To be honest i'm not sure which mix i have heard. I just know it was Tiesto "Adajio of Strings" Im suspecting it was the Tiesto Mix?
So if Tiesto's is that good, i will have to check out Corstens Mix!

corstens was the original adagio for strings remix.
william orbit is a composer who takes old classical music like barbers adagio for strings then remakes them using synths. ferry took it another step forward and made it into a dance track.

classic trance track and prolly the best mix production wise.

as far as what you said about tiesto's craig the kick isnt heavy at all. its actually eqed more to mid and is puchy but when blasted through a system it can sound harder. theres pratically no bass in that kick just loads of compression. hes quite clever how he eq things compared to other producers, removes all the bass from the kick so he can put loads of synths in the bass end of the eq spectrum.

[dee]

corstens mix was a classic , they should av left it there :cool:

[Paul Nisbet]

agreed, nothing touches it imo... tiesto one aint bad, but the tony burt one for me was really, really not up to par.

[cascade]

aye the mat silver one doesnt do it for me anymore either,
kinda just like ferrys but with this new synth line that runs through from the break.
perc and bass etc is different but it looses the atmosphere that samuel barber originally put into the piece back in the 17th centuary or when ever it was. lol

:lol:

Yeah, i mentioned it before, i did hear it on quite a good system and i know this does make a difference. The Kick sounded proper Punchy

[DJCraig Ryan]

Only listened it once so couldn't really go into detail in regeards of in-depth EQ'ing or Production, just what i heard at the time really.

[cascade]

yea agreed,
just got the album today with the full 8 minute mix of adagio.
beast.
really starting to grow onto me.
definatly a track for commercial trance people and even possibly serious uplifting stuff.

where did you here it craig incidentaly?
they played it in liquid a few weeks back on a saturday, just thought it might have been there?
:?:

[DJCraig Ryan]

Just listened Corsten's Mix, and straight away it rung a bell, deffo remember it now!

Right, in my opinion, Tiesto's is the better mix. Corsten's is a classic but Tiesto's is more up my street. Just prefer it in every aspect really.
Can't say much more than that.


I actually heard this tune on a CD.

Im quite a big fan of Tiestos Mix of this classic

Love the way he puts it all thought loads of Filters, Sounds a Tad Disturted on a crap sound system, But i heard this out in Ibiza @ Ammensia, and oh my god it sounded sweet

He Pulled it off quite well, deffo on par with Corstens re-mix

[sean.demaine]

haha universal nation my ass :) its an old classical piece mate

i think - this as well as all the other versions except mat silver one are **** horrendous but thats just me

I liked tiestos older stuff (theme from norjfell and flight 643, Sparkles and the stuff with corsten) but not anything since

i heard it at the cream launch at amnesia-

ive only heard it a handful of times and too be frank im glab, messy rubbish, im shocked tiesto allow this to be realesed

corstens mix was brilliant as most his stuff is, but sound dated now
