Amazing! Just Amazing!

"This CD is quite possibly my favorite CD of all time. There are a few people I know who have made it a point to me that they do not like techno, yet still like this CD when I play it for them. It has an uniquely artistic quality about it which separates it from other techno/trance. Most of the tracks are definitely not something you would hear at a club. As a whole the CD is smooth with less of the thumping bass I'm used to when I hear club music. ISOS Vol.5 has a fair share of stand-out tracks such as "Empty Streets", "Your Loving Arms", "Moonlight Party" and "Color my Eyes" but it is also just great to chill and listen to the whole way through and flows very well. I really can't say enough for this CD.
IMPORTANT: You may not like this CD the first time you hear it but you absolutely have to give it 3 listens and there is a good chance you will like it. This is just the way Tiesto's music works which I have verified this with several people. I often don't like his CDs the first or second time I listen to them but his music grows on you out of nowhere. I didn't even like this CD the first time I listened to it and now it might be my all-time favorite CD."
Exellent track selection

"I was driving one night from Tucson AZ when I first listened to this compilation. It was a full moon night and cool weather; I had the moon roof of my 4runner all the way open, and the first CD was blasting trough my speakers. Then "moonlight party" started to play, wow...I almost wanted to get out of my car and dance like a mad man in the middle of the desert. Whenever I listen to that song it reminds of that night. But that is just one personal experience; I love all the songs from both CDs, I think the track selection is excellent and of course the mixing is flawless. I also love the front cover, it reminds me of the time I lived near LA and I remember that view of the buildings when you are driving on the fwy. Almost every song makes me think of some place in LA; and I believe that's what Tiesto intends with the ISOS compilations, to transport us the listeners through music to places we have been or places we wish to be. I'm from latin america, so the ISOS 4 is very special for me also. Well, if you are a fan of Tiesto, you should already have this one. Now if you are new to this type of music, I really recommend any of the ISOS compilation, as I said before this music really takes you into a journey and it's very nice music to bring in your car if you are driving alone on a long trip, or just to listen in your home to relax."
