On his third album overall, 2007's Elements of Life, Dutch DJ Tiësto manages to retain his focus on the style of music that has gotten him this far in the first place -- trance and electronic. But this time around, he also adds bits of rock and pop to the dance party. Featuring input from several vocalists (Charlotte Martin, Julie Thompson, Christian Burns, and Jes), as well as BT, who has collaborated with Tiësto in the past, the end result is an album that sounds custom-made for blaring on a dancefloor in a trendy New York City club -- "Ten Seconds Before Sunrise," "Break My Fall" (which features BT), and "In the Dark" (which features Burns) -- the latter of which is probably the most crossover worthy track that Tiësto has ever penned. ~ Greg Prato, All Music Guide
Would love to listen live, but many elitist clubs would turn me away because I'm 64. They'd turn away Bob Dylan too if they didn't recognise him. Probably both of us, if we did get in, unrecognised, would be treated like a b**tard at a family reunion, at least by the more reactionary relatives. But I love the music just the same.
And based on my own experiences and frienships, musicians and DJs ar usually pretty affiable people if they're treated like plain human beings and not gods.
