In My Memory Review

07/13/2005 7:13 AM, AMG


By all rights, DJ Tiesto's debut solo album should have been a thing of primed Dutch perfection. After the many Forbidden Paradise and Magik mix releases over the years, Tiesto had nothing but time to hone his strengths and explore the slow-motion Atlantisian template of trance once believed perfected exclusively by Paul Van Dyk and Ferry Corsten. But nothing ignites here, certainly not anything that warrants the delayed release. In My Memory sounds a lot like one of his mix albums, in fact, with deep and diffused effects circling indistinct highlights of Japanese piano, progressive spice, and corny lyrics. ~ Dean Carlson, All Music Guide
