Hit: 4 Stars
Beginning with cascading ocean waves, the placidity of Tiesto's sixth In Search of Sunrise installment - this time, centering on Ibiza - establishes its calm with neither hesitation nor much effort. Ibiza, the `White Isle' of trance music, is the most idyllic locale for Tiesto and his fans to seek the sunrise after a beautiful night of music and dance. By the album's location alone, I was confident from the onset that this mix would be something that would at the very least rival the best of his previous ISoS efforts; I don't think my assumption was wrong, though it was made in haste. Disc one begins with paced, melodic and beautiful trance - ideal for watching the dark night sky begin to fluoresce at 5 A.M. as the sun prepares its rise to the heavens. The types of tracks Tiesto chose to compile for the first disc all encompass a singular, `creamy' quality; truly, the music itself evokes images of white sand and sapphire waters calmly lapping at one's feet.
True to form, ISoS 6 is not without its ethereal female vocal presence, first appearing on "Don't Belong." Although female vocals never seem to intrude on Tiesto's journeys, rarely do I find them of much help in charting the waters for a successful release. This is where this album differs from previous works - in its ability to be a cohesive masterpiece of beautiful electronic expression. Disc one is an emotive ride, and I have personally found this double-disc set to be the most inspiring of Tiesto's work since Magik Vol. 3 - Far From Earth. Clearly the first disc is a Mecca of inspiration - simply glance at the superb track listing which clearly beats out ISoS 5's second disc's, which has until now been my favorite of the series. Tracks by the renowned likes of Ohmna, Moonbeam, Allure (featuring Julie Thompson) (!) and Solaris Heights strengthen the case for this disc's ingenuity. In fact, I reviewed Solaris Heights' newest Renaissance single "Vice" about two months back, loving the track, and was given the then-exclusive Sydenham Dub to sample as well. As much as I loved the original, the Dub was the clear frontrunner between the two and I'm quite thoroughly surprised to see it on a Tiesto release. Pleasantly surprised, I assure you. With "Lonely" and Tiesto's ISoS Remix of "Hide and Seek," this soothing disc recedes back into obscurity like the gentle ocean wave with which it all began. Emotive, full of clarity and promise, and reminiscent of paradise; what more could one ask for when searching for the sunrise?
Disc two was less of a surprise to me, coming from Tiesto, but it begins and ends better than the chunk in the middle which, to me, sounds like it could have been pulled from any recent Tiesto album and inserted in place of ISoS 6's contents and no one would be the wiser. Opening with "A New Dawn" > "What You Need" > "Trozitos de Navidad" evokes images of ska-dancing on beaches and arms waving in the air; typical clubby atmosphere, until I realized that it all seemed subdued in a really nice way, as if someone had pressed the slow motion button and the track layering and sequence had forever captured me in that enraptured moment, arms high, feet suspended above soft white sand in ecstatic mid-leap.
Alas, as with all things, this moment eventually ends but rest assured it is something special. I didn't much care either way for John Dahlback's "Don't Speak," and this is where the album turned - not `sour' - but more predictable than I had been expecting after the strength of disc one and the first bit of disc two. Despite the mediocrity that "Arguru," "Falling," "Fall To Pieces" and "Mercury Room" (an added disappointment to me because Tom Cloud is a talented producer), Marcus Schossow begins the disc's saving grace period with his beautiful "Chase My Rabbit" and the slightly sinister undertones of Maor Levi's well-known "Reflect," which makes a resonant presence on The Thrillseekers' latest Nightmusic Vol. 2 as well. "Dancing Water" gives the remainder of the disc a quick kick in the belly with some harder beats. The last five tracks of disc two are entirely danceable in the same way that the first three were, only this has developed into high-BPM trance now. Just as the end is expected with some glossy climactic finish, Tiesto drops one more little gift into the bag before exiting gracefully - the addition of the atmospherically spacious "Breathing" by D'Alt Vila. After Tiesto's newest and in my opinion most enigmatic release in many years, you will CERTAINLY be left breathing. Hard at first, then less rapidly, as the early morning sunlight slowly makes its way over your skin - and you find reality right where you left it... two and a half glorious hours ago.
I'm not that into Tiesto. This one, however, touched me.

Free Music Review: Review from an owner of every In Search of Sunrise series...
Hit: 4 Stars
I am a long time fan of techno music, especially Goa, Trance, and Progressive Trance. Tiesto is always famous as a trance DJ, especially "anthem" types.
I own probably almost every CDs he has ever created, most of his Magik series and every In Search of Sunrise series. So here's his latest work, #6. ISOS are some of my favorite techno CDs of all time. I love every one of them! As I am slowly getting older (goa trance addict in college days), these "laid back" sounds are such a pleasant sounds into my mind. They do feel like the early morning after feeling.
The first CD definitely is an ear candy. Smooth, buttery, creamy, laid back, easy listening, multi-layered, definitely a keeper.
The second CD starts a little rough, way more rougher than the first CD generally speaking.
If the second CD was a litte more refined as the first CD, I'd given it 5 stars.
In my humble opinion: Out of all six ISOS series I own, #4 is hands down the best series. I used to be addicted to #4 for months in my car! :) The silver medal goes out to #3, and the bronze medal is tied between #5 and #6. #3 is really awesome, but only a single CD disappointed me. #1 and #2 is also good, but again single CD for the same price as these double CDs is not fair! But they are quite good though..
Enjoy! Very good indeed Tiesto, perhaps #7 next year? Will it take a gold medal beating my favorite #4? Time will tell! :)
