    Album Description

    Rabbit In The Moon have established an enormous fan base with the release of their 12-inch singles, remix work, and exploration in live performance. With their world renowned remixes for Smashing Pumpkins, Depeche Mode, Sarah McLachlan, Garbage, and countless others, it's no wonder they have the world eagerly awaiting the release of their first full-length CD/DVD. Their style of electronic music is timeless, but to truly understand this group is to see and hear them live. This 80+ minute DVD takes you behind the scenes and in front of thousands of screaming fans at one of their live festival performances, shot in Hi-Def with a 5.1 Surround Sound mix.

    5 out of 5 stars Rabbit Dance.......2007-08-02

    Amazing, creative work. A monumental treat for the eyes and ears...I was introduced to Decade via a friend on a jet and am completely hooked. Thought I had seen and heard it all before, but Rabbit opens new doors. Worth twice the price.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent for the casual listener.......2007-07-29

    According to all other reviews by hardcore fans, everyone seems to be dissapointed that this is all material they have heard before. So what about the casual Rabbit in the Moon fan, who hasn't heard many of these songs? I enjoyed the Floorida remix album as well as some other remixes RITM has done, but have yet to attend a live show of theirs. Therefore, coming into this album without any pretenses, I am pleased to say it is just what I was hoping for. Dark and deep, juicy with their signature tech/electro sound. This album really doesn't leave anything to be desired, especially with the vocals by Bunny. I think for the casual listener who hasn't heard all of these songs, this album will be a better experience. Still, even for those who have heard and seen it already, isn't it great to finally have all of the original material all on one remastered disc, plus an amazing DVD?

    5 out of 5 stars Long Awaited, and a Fantastic DVD.......2007-07-16

    As a DJ, I have had access to Rabbit in the Moon material over the past 10 years, as it was released single-by-single. Like many of their fans, I was hooked on Dave Christophere's audio wizardry with the haunting and evolving O.O.B.E. - (mistakenly labeled "Outer" Body Experience on the liner notes - though not a surprising tactic for a new remix.). Several of the track on this new album have been previously released as singles, and/or have been included in their live performances. Though some may find this a bit anticlimactic, it should be noted that everything has been remastered to a degree that it actually does seem new and fresh.

    As others have noted, RITM is best experienced as a live act. The music is brought to life through the larger-than-life, kabuki theater-like performance and vocalizations of Bunny (Steve Eachon). Perhaps RITM are destined to become the Grateful Dead of modern Techno, as every show is different, and devoted fans follow their shows, and see them again and again, noting the slight changes to the mixes and song selections, and the ever evolving and exciting Bunny Experience.

    With that in mind, it is only natural that they would include a DVD that included some of their live material, along with new and creative original video along with the CD.

    The quality of the video and audio on this package is flawless and very entertaining for old and new Rabbit fans. One can only hope that they gather momentum from this release to tour heavily, and release another album of completely new material within the next 18 months. The newer material also has more vocals by Bunny, which I find to be an excellent trend which they should continue to develop in their music and live shows.

    5 out of 5 stars A great release from a the legendary RITM!.......2007-07-13

    I think this is a *fanstatic* release, mostly because of the DVD content, but I like the CD a lot as well. Being the fan that I am, I couldn't give this any less than 5 stars for that DVD content being what it is. Yes, there is some dated stuff on the album, but it is called "Decade", and the song "Deeper" alone justifies that title. I see some of the other reviewers who are fans, but giving it low-star reviews, that's really too bad. It may be because they were expecting a full new CD of all new material, and didn't get that. Still, I see that those of us who "know the deal", so to speak, know that the essence of Rabbit In The Moon is the live show, I think the DVD content gives a pretty close approximation to what it's actually like to see them live. But tell me, who, of the RITM fans among us, especially those who have seen them live in the least year, didn't FLIP out when they were listening to the "Decade" CD and heard the phrase "Look into the eye!" for the first time, on track 8.. with memories flooding in of Bunny with his TV-on-a-stick?? I know I did. And that song is followed by the AMAZING rendition of David Bowie's "Let's Dance", followed by Deeper (which is admittedly old
    but is a classic and couldn't be excluded) but then there's a brand new mix of O.B.E. that, correct me if I'm wrong, has never been released before. (And I own the original Phases O.B.E. 12" record). I love the new mix of that song, and I think it's a great album, even though every single song doesn't thrill me. But even with this CD, some of the older RITM songs that I never really liked much before, like Dubbasex for example, listened carefully and given them another chance, and found they are actually very subtle and beautiful songs.

    There is more newer material on the album than some reviewers let on, in fact well over half of it is new. There are a few ommissions, IMO, for example I would have liked to see "Electro Accupuncture" on this CD, but then again that has been released before on a CD, still I think it would have fit in well here though as well. I love the DVD the most, because it reminds me why I've been such a huge fan for so many years, with probably about 7 shows under my belt. To all the fans out there, buy this album! Show your support! Remember the old Zen Festial 96-97 shows, with Bunny, in his disco-ball suit, being lowered by a cable from the ceiling! remember how you felt at those times. They have earned our suport! To those folks new to the electronica genre, this is a good glimpse into understanding the engima that is Rabbit in the Moon... RITM so much more than can possible be described in one album, album review, DVD, magazine article, or antyhing else. There's a whole history and culture behind these guys'one-of-a-kind stlye of performance art, and I think this release captures the essence of it almost as best you could with the amount of material provided. Buy it for the DVD, but then take the audio CD, put in in your car stereo, put on track 8, and crank it up!

    3 out of 5 stars Great yet lacking.......2007-07-12

    So, if your a rabbit head like me, you've probably heard most of these tracks at their shows. So why is this CD a great purchase? Quite simply because you are a rabbit head and they need our support. If you're new to Rabbit in the Moon then you need to hear what the music is about. The really cool feature is that in the DVD each suit comes with an explanation which will help new listeners/show goers to understand the meaning of the show as a whole and the suits individually. Are there tracks missing? Absolutely. The now famous jungle track used for the dragon slaying sequence is missing, so is the old light suit track which is a favorite amongst show goers. However, the single most significant fact about this release is the release it self. If this goes good, we will see a new Rabbit in the Moon CD sometime soon. Remember, this is their first attempt at this, so lets support them. After all, they have been connecting to us for over a decade, the least we can do is buy the CD.

    Trance is about as Dutch as windmills, and more than any other DJ, Tiësto is its ambassador. His highly successful In Search of Sunrise series can claim much of the credit for this, and this fifth installment, Los Angeles, delivers in spades. As ever, the man finds his inspiration in the female voice; from Late Night Alumni's "Empty Streets," which pits a bassline that bounces like Silly Putty against Becky Jean Williams's dreamy vocals, to Karen Overton's dancefloor-destroying cover of Billie Ray Martin's "Your Loving Arms," Tiësto again proves himself a master at driving sets to soaring highs with well-placed siren songs. The second disc finds the Dutchman in more progressive territory, luring in the unsuspecting with Pink Elephant's effervescent "LAX" only to drop the hammer with Alex Stealthy's "Something Is Wrong," a track with a disorienting beat that seems to tumble over itself and a haunting melody that sounds as though it were trapped under ice. Tiësto also shows he hasn't lost his affinity for engaging the listener in a test of wills, as in A Boy Called Joni's vertiginous "Green Astronauts." Like all good mixes, the fifth in the ISoS series is after all a study in contrasts. Ironic, perhaps, that with the title Los Angeles the album makes a compelling case that the trance crown won't be leaving Holland anytime soon. --Brent Kallmer

    5 out of 5 stars another 5 star performance by tiesto.......2007-07-19

    this album is another in the line of great mixes by tiesto. if you love trance like i do then isos 5 is a must buy. i think 4 is still my personal fav due to disc one but i would recomend buying all 5 isos albums. they are worth the money in FULL

    4 out of 5 stars what an awesome arsenal for our ears.......2007-07-07

    Tiesto, albeit ostentatious, is revolutionizing music, and ISOS5 is a clear example where dj's like him, and Armin are heading. His tracks are eloquent, driving and full of forcefullness, and flowing and no one, anywhere, can do it like Tiesto. People say he is a sell out, well Go ahead and sell out Tiesto, because if you can make albums like this for me and my 100 friends to enjoy, than so be it. Everyone I have given this cd to, really, everyone of them, can't believe how magical it is. Like the previous reviewer, I can be driving in rush hour from Boston and blast ISOS5 and never get sick of it, that is hard for a trance album to stand multiple plays after a year or so.

    Tiesto is only starting his protege mixing. I cannot wait for more tracks from him. 'Tiesto IN Concert' is mind boggling, a life altering trance experience.

    Anyone hestitating to buy this for perhaps a different dj like Armin B or Van Helden or the like, well they are good, but def. add this to your collection.

    SO BRILLIANT!

    thanks

    1 out of 5 stars TIESTO GIVES US ONE MORE REASON TO HATE HIM!.......2007-06-13

    what else is there to say, except stay away- the almighty god of the sound of torment makes us want to rage some more. Please I beg you tiesto, go away and leave us all alone.

    4 out of 5 stars Great CD.......2007-05-03

    This is a great CD by Tiesto. I love the mixes and sounds presented in Sunrise Vol. 5, and this was the first CD of his that I had ever owned. I especially loved the track "Helsinki Scorchin". Great track to drive to, by the way. I like the faster beat tracks that Tiesto creates/uses, and a lot of that is due to the fact that I like to listen to trance when I'm driving, and it's most fun to drive to fast tracks. The reason why I rated this four stars instead of five is because I have Sunrise Panama and Sunrise Latin America, and I think both of those albums are actually a little bit better that Sunrise Los Angeles, even though they were its predecessors.

    5 out of 5 stars keeps me home.......2007-05-02

    This cd set of Tiesto's is really great i live in Los Angeles and driving at 80 on L.A.'s most known freeway you can understand that no matter during the day or at night its a really good energetic album my favorite is "moonlight party" because that brings the suspense of speed during the day or night and those loud hits are fantastic you have to pick up a copy

    5 out of 5 stars Music was great but came to me damaged from Amazon.......2007-05-29

    The actual CD is great, some of the best from ATB i've ever heard, a little poppy but still good...I was dissapointed with how it arrived from Amazon though. The CD wont even work in one of my CD players, had to upload it to my computer and make new ones for it to work, but now there's a break in between the tracks so so much for hearing a good mix...anyway take your chances, maybe I just got the one damaged one....

    5 out of 5 stars Nice trance collection!.......2007-05-21

    Together with Armin's State of Trance 2006 and Thrillseekers' Nightmusic, it's the most perfect trance collection of the last 5 years.
    Way to go ATB!

    5 out of 5 stars Made me pay attention to ATB.......2007-05-16

    Absolutely the best mix of 2006. Both discs, this is what trance mixes should sound like. No filler tracks at all, just perfectly selected.

    2 out of 5 stars A Mish Mash of bland mixes!!!.......2007-05-07

    Definately not even close the In the Mix 2 in terms of memorable tracks or good mixing. The album simply lacks life and goes weaker and weaker from CD 1 to CD 2. Not a single track stands out making this album good for nothing other than background music when nothing else is at hand. A real disappointment.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the best mixes ive ever heard.......2007-04-22

    This double CD set is worth its price in gold as far as im concerned. I bought this mix, due in part, to the reviews ive seen here on amazon. Right off the top of my head I cant think of any "fillers" in this one. Yeah, some tracks are better then others, but even the "so so" tracks are above average. The tracks that really stand out to me at the moment are "Servant of Justice" "Summer Rain" "Neno Itome" and "Vital Spark" I also find it quite refreshing to be able to catch reviews of this kind of musical genre from other fellow fans. I know some of the reviewers here spend big bucks on these kinds of releases. Unfortunately, I dont make a ton of doe, so I cant afford the luxery of being able to casually buy every new House/Trance/Jungle release that hits the market. This is why I come to sites like amazon. To see what other fans of these genres have to say. That with the addition of track samples help me make my purchasing decisions in the end. Thanks everybody!

    I'm not going to elaborate very much on this purchase. I thought it was below par. The only mix I cared for was BT's "Mercury & Solace", which I already have. The rest of the CD was fair--nothing earthshaking as far as I'm concerned.

    5 out of 5 stars ISOS - So good.......2007-03-19

    I now own all 5 in the ISOS saga, volume one being the last I acquired. It fits right in with the rest as far as quality Tiesto mixes.

    5 out of 5 stars Oldies but Gooooodies!!.......2006-07-06

    Great stuff! Never gets old or tired. I listen to it over and over again, appreciating new things each time!

    5 out of 5 stars The best ISOS album!.......2006-03-02

    Woot!
    This album is great. For those that heard this and know anything about skills in mixing and in making a good mix knows that this should be on your hall of fame.

    I don't like my music with vocals when I listen to trance.
    I like my trance with great beats (Tranceport, Voyage Into Trance)

    So I consider trance with vocals "gay music" cause mostly those female vocals be killing the originality of trance.

    But this is just great, even though a lot of female vocals are here, I still love this. He also does a good job on switching from trance-only to trance-vocals.

    All these songs easily can get a 5 out of 5 or up(except for the one of Calling Your Name).

    YOU REALLY WILL BE LEFT IN SEARCH OF SUNRISE after this album ends. I like listening to this album when the sun rises and/or sets.

    With a great blend of vocals and trance maybe people that listen to (pop, dance, and R&B) will want to listen to some actual trance.

    Verdict: 7.5 out of 5.0 Its sooo good you need to get its A LOT better than the other 3 ISOS he has made. He really changed the way of my thoughts about "gay music". Well this is simply a must get!! What The Hell(WTH) you doing reading this review! Go buy it in stores! NOW!

    P.S. This is still consider "gay music" to me but I really love it.

    5 out of 5 stars Classic Masterpiece.......2006-01-22

    Although years have passed since the release of this work of art, this compilation along with the other ISOS series continue to dominate and define the utter best of the trance genre.

    The genious in tiesto's music lies in the way it is layered and in the progression. If one is to listen carefully, it is noticable how the music follows a consistent up down up down approach. This kind of stucture is unique in that it takes the listener through musical highs and lows in such a way that it is completely hypnotic.

    There have been many times where i would be dead focused on his music forgetting about the outside world. Yes its that good. Tiestos work is actually so good, that people are able to listen to his cds over and over and never get bored of them since the more you listen to them, the more you hear things you did not hear the previous time. I have already listened to all of the ISOS and magik series over 10 times each and its still not played out.

    So far only Armin Van Buuren has been able to come close to the perfection that tiesto has achieved. If only tiesto's newer work posessed such beauty.

    My personal favorite tracks are:
    Honey

    Though he's as close to being the quintessential trance DJ as anyone, Tiësto has in the past used his mix records to drop new, sometimes challenging material (e.g., 2003's Nyana). But that's never been what the Sunrise records are about. Like 2004's Olympics-anthem release Parade of the Athletes, the vibe is all-inclusive, overtly positive, and infused with a strong orchestral bent that broadens its appeal. The first disc works up a lather after a lukewarm start, ending strongly with tracks from Gabriel & Dresden and BT ("Force of Gravity," spiffed up with a Tiësto remix). The second disc isn't so shy, though the Ibiza sheen gets a little glossy. If there's one thing this DJ can do, it's convincingly integrate a distinctive vocal ("Silence," anyone?), and his collaboration with Aqualung's Matt Hales on "UR" is no exception. One gets the sense that Sunrise 4 could have been just one disc and still delivered the essential punch--but even though it's a bit bloated, this collection unquestionably has the epic heft for which Tiësto is known and revered. --Matthew Cooke

    3 out of 5 stars More house than trance.......2007-06-06

    This is my first Tiesto CD that I heard. IMO It's a very good House CD. Not as laid back as I would have liked to call it a trance CD.

    4 out of 5 stars Once again, great CD. .......2007-05-07

    This is yet again, a great CD by Tiesto. However, I still liked Panama better, although just slightly, and so I think that this album deserved a four out of five stars. I love Tiesto's stuff, so I hope he keeps on pullin through!

    5 out of 5 stars 5 Stars for reeeaaalll!.......2007-03-07

    Alright I'll break it down to you due to the fact that you're debating about buying this CD right? Let me put it this way, if you love trance than you love this CD--honestly. Trance can't get better than this! Both discs are beyond solid. Go ahead and buy it! Trust me you won't regret. FYI, also check out vol. 5 and Armin Van Buuren's "In State of Trance 2006". They're both top notch just like this one!

    5 out of 5 stars The Best ISOS.......2007-04-25

    I think Tiesto hit the hammer on the nail with this one. I always find a few things to critique with his other ISOS, especially his latest (ISOS 5). But with ISOS 2, Tiesto got the formula just right. Of course, nowadays he doesn't mix music like this anymore. This is classic Tiesto trance--- and excellent trance at that. The song selection is impeccably well-placed and I think this ISOS does the best job at capturing the Summer-Ibiza feel Tiesto may have intended.

    After several years of listening to this CD, it still sounds as fresh as it did the day I first purchased it. Tracks like TastExperience, Summerbreeze, Eugina, and Delirio just fit so well into what I believe is his best effort in the ISOS series.

    5 out of 5 stars More Great Coding Music.......2007-01-07

    I am rapidly accumulating the complete works of DJ Tiësto. It is perfect trance-out music for those long programming sessions.

    5 out of 5 stars The Successor To The Greatest Trance Mix Of All Time.......2006-06-16

    In Search Of Sunrise is the greatest trance compilation ever made. It is the eternal representation of great trance. Having said that, I can now review In Search Of Sunrise 2.

    The album art is awesome. The movie poster concept is clever. Tiësto has a great marketing team.

    As for the mix, I've found that it helps to divide DJ Tiësto's compilations into movements, because I'm sure he does. Some songs aren't meant to take you over the top. Some are. Some songs work together to build tension for a powerful, explosive song approaching. Some songs are powerful and explosive. Tiësto knows how to use different types of trance songs to create a mix that is HIS. He is a master at this.

    The first movement is fantastic. It begins ethereal and dreamy, and through the first three tracks there is a brooding feeling.

    Tastexperience by Tantrix is an excellent introduction to the mix. It represents the style and mood of the In Search Of Sunrise (ISOS) series. It has the island feel Tiësto is revered for. As it fades out and LN Movement's Golden Desert (Part 2) is revealed explosively, feelings of nostalgia for the first ISOS are evoked. At this point I am impressed. This is what I expect after the first ISOS. This is a summer mix. Once Kamaya Painter's Summerbreeze comes on, it's obvious that the first two tracks are only a build. Summerbreeze is beautiful. I have to give it up for Kamaya Painters on this track, which means I am actually praising Tiësto and Benno De Goeij, who together ARE Kamaya Painters. The melodies here are precisely what make great trance. The build, the clashes, the keys... this is the trance that I love. So far, the mixing is flawless. At the end of the first movement, the mix seems to transform from trance to house. Vocals are introduced. Rui Da Silva's Touch Me is a good track with a melody that allows it to mix well with this compilation, but it's not a great song. The vocals and lyrics are mediocre. I expect only the best from the ISOS series. This is good, but not Tiësto good. I did, however, smile when thinking about the song placement in comparison to the first ISOS; this song is similar to Billie Ray Martin's Honey, which is track three on that mix. Anyway, Touch Me made me skeptical. The mix seems to be going somewhere, then Tiësto takes a detour with Touch Me. Why? I don't know

    As touch me ends the mixing gets heavy and dramatic I realize I'm being swept into the second movement. The Michael Woods mix of Eugina by Salt Tank scraps the previous song and takes the mix right back to where it belongs. This is amazing trance song! Echoing snares, soaring vocals, the ebb and flow of dense subterranean techno melodies... YES! I'd like to shake Michael Woods' hand. The mix into Cass & Slide's Perception is heavy like the last mix, and I dig the style. Tiësto cautiously mixed the songs through the first movement, but in the second movement he takes over and charges ahead boldly. Perception comes in, hits a break, and the game continues. You have to love the robotic sounds on this track. The bass line on this track is deep, even for trance. The song tricks you... you think it's going one way, then another break comes and in the vocals drop. Wow. Here is another beautiful vocal trance song. "Search and you will find the answer... if you look deep inside of your mind... you can see forever... rise up together." Now that is dance floor ecstasy. Perception ends almost abruptly and in drops Mekka's Diamondback. The vocal trance delight continues. This song is insane. Take a drive on a country road and listen to this song as loud as you can for an amazing experience. Lucid's mix of BT's Dreaming comes on next and the texture of the mix is changed again. The sound effects here are awesome. The ticking clock, the panning, the creaking doors, the chimes: I love this song. Tiësto knows how to compile great vocal trance songs like no other. With this song the second movement is ending...

    And with the Venus Mix of Baracoa's Delirio the third movement blooms. This song... man... this song gives me goosebumps. The build is like no other. This is deep trance. This is a classic. Songs like this are what give the ISOS series it's enigmatic quality. You might as well just burn the house down for this one. The vocals are intoxicating. Delirio takes me away. At this point I'm sold on the mix. The next track is a remix of Fortress's An Angel Saved My Life. The sounds here remind me of Paul Oakenfold's Tranceport. The trance here is hard, heavy, and dense. It's good, but it's one of my least favorite tracks on the album. It gets serious quick, but there is no distinct build. It does however, mix superbly with the Marc O' Tool Remix of Ballroom's 4 AM, which I think is the reason why Tiësto used it. Ballroom is a cool song, but it doesn't have the power of the previous songs on the mix. It does have a unique style that makes this ISOS mix even more eclectic. As Coast 2 Coast's Home comes on, I understand the purpose of the previous two tracks. Tiësto was building. This is why I like to group his mixes into movements. Home is another great track because of its uplifting melody and its quick build to an all-business breakdown.

    The business continues right into Slacker's Kingdom Come Mix of Breeder's Tyrantanic without a breath of air to relax. Then... BOOM! The beat drops and there is silence. The fourth and final movement is crowded, dense, heavy, busy, and every other adjective you can think of that is opposite of free and airy. Tiësto ends his mix with pure progressive trance. The builds aren't epic and sudden. They're constant and relentless. The beat just keeps going. The breaks don't even feel like breaks. The vocals are gone. This all describes Max Graham's Airtight, and the title fits perfectly. Tiësto suffocates you in the last movement. I just know that I can't stop bobbing my head. The song takes you higher and higher and higher and higher... then proceeds to the most elaborate breakdown of the entire mix. It doesn't send you away in the ecstatic build-explode-jump off way that trance typically does. It doesn't make you feel like you just got off like never before. It doesn't take you away with heavenly vocals and melodies.

    It leaves you in a trance.

    DJ Tiësto has done it again. He has left me In Search Of Sunrise.

    5 out of 5 stars awesome trance cd..........2006-06-11

    this is my second review or comment on a tiesto compilation.. the first was on his parade of athletes cd.. this ISOS 2 cd is just awesome.. i never thought trance could sound so good!! i say this only because previously i dont pay much attention to the genre.. but now i know what i've been missing all this time.. i favor the tracks summerbreeze, diamondback, dreaming, and tyrantanic, but the rest are good too! just listen from start to finish because you may not appreciate how beautiful this cd is put together.. as i write this, im playing the cd!! yeah baby yeah!!! :-)

    5 out of 5 stars The best of In Search of a Sunrise series.......2006-05-01

    I think this album is the best in Tiesto's In Search of a Sunrise series. Just beautiful trance music from the first track till the last.

    Please note that this album is different from Tiesto's live sets and his other "hands in the air trance" compilations. ISOS 2 is a lot more mellow(though does get harder towards the end), and is much better suited as background music for your pre and after-party sessions.

    Overall, a really awesome compilation.

    This set contains all the material from Fly to the Rainbow, In Trance, and Virgin Killer!

Since that hasn't happened, this is your best alternative.

    The standard warning on 70's era Scorpions music applies here. This isn't the Scorpion's everyone knows and loves from the 1980's. Their sound was very different during the 1970's due to Ulrich Roth's influence. His songs are more jazzy/psychedelic and his singing is very different than Klaus Meine's, or anyone else you've ever heard. Someone exploring 1970's era Scorpions for the first time may want to start with Taken By Force or the excellent live album Tokyo Tapes as the price is much lower and both albums are a good representation of the band's sound during this time. For everyone else familiar with the Scorpions of the 1970's, buy this set! You won't be disappointed. Where else can you get three great import albums for under $40?

    5 out of 5 stars THE 2, I MEAN THE 3 BEST SCORPIONS ALBUMS EVER.......2007-05-16

    these are truly the best scorpions albums ever... In Trance and Virgin Killer. Very well digitally mastered and complete with liner notes and photos but the best is... The 7 bonus tracks are actually all 7 tracks from the second album Fly to the Rainbow. Digitally mastered. So you actually get 3 albums at a very good price. Since these were the only 3 albums left unmastered now you can have all the catalogue remastered and sounding good...

    BT's velvety take on trance techno, typified by unusually light, liquidy melodies, smooth edges, and roomy breakbeats, was first noticed in the U.S. via his exceptional remix of Tori Amos's "Blue Skies." That song and other like-minded U.K. singles that preceded it gave rise to yet another variation of trance music dubbed "dream-trance." It's an apt label. BT's dense, yet straightforward compositions and benevolent mixes incorporate themes of escape and rebirth, with songs that imprint themselves on your subconscious. On Movement in Still Life, never before available in the States, BT breaks through the wall that separates techno from out-and-out pop, incorporating verse-chorus-verse song structures. Furthermore, he allows his dreamy mix to wander into Fatboy Slim-esque big beat territory. As a DJ, he's clearly capable of branching into different styles. The smart house and choppy beats of the title track make that apparent. He's still playing with needles and wax on that track, though; "Shame," with its acoustic drum/guitar sound and accessible pop vocal track sounds ready-made for alt-rock radio, with only touches around the edges that betray the presence of a DJ. Other songs, such as "Running Down the Way," blend the two styles more evenly, utilizing a pop song format but keeping it clubby and decidedly nonacoustic. Given BT's U.S. success with the pop/club mix of "Blue Skies," as well as the accessible, anthemic style he tends to favor as a DJ, the record makes perfect stylistic sense. He'd be wise, however, to keep dream-trance close to his turntables, as the perfection of such tracks as "Dreaming" and "Godspeed" make it blissfully obvious that he has utterly mastered the sound. --Matthew Cooke

    3 out of 5 stars BT is excellent. This version of MiSL is not........2007-02-17

    Short version: The track selection and mixing on the UK version makes it the best BT album ever, in my humble opinion. The subpar selection of tracks, as well as the random placement of tracks and lack of mixing, make the USA version less than it ought to be.

    Long version: I rank MiSL beside Hybrid's Wide Angle in terms of complexity, originality, composition, mood, and just plain groove. It is very obvious that BT lives and breathes music, and that he has been well-educated in the ways of his craft. However, I would not have bought this album had I not heard the UK version. The UK release of MiSL by BT is an EDM classic. This... thing that was given to us in the USA is a crime against the man's reputation. The seamless mixing that would make any DJ jealous is totally absent. Instead, each track just slams in or creeps up shyly. The songs are not bad, but they are not nearly as good as the selections featured on the UK release. On the UK version, there is not a bad song. On such mediocre fare as "Never Gonna Come Back Down", we are treated to a barely bearable voice spitting out very bad freestyle. The track would have been better if BT had not let some fool sing over it. While some of the USA-only titles are not bad (Smartbomb, for example), I would gladly trade all of them for "Giving up the Ghost" alone.

    All in all, I would not recommend buying this item. The UK version, believe it or not, really is worth the $40 when compared to the USA version. They both make me cry, but for totally different reasons.

    5 out of 5 stars Genre defining.......2006-05-13

    I'm not going to write a tediously long review. I'm a professional musician. This is a record you need to hear. You will meet people that will dislike it. Regardless, this is one of those records that permanently changed the scene. You might not like it but if you care at all about the history/evolution of popular electronic music you need to know this record. The influence of this album from the very subtle to the drastic is apparent in nearly every meaningful breaks album since. I could go on and on about minor technical flaws and even more minor artistic flaws but it would all be academic. Educate your brain... and maybe at the same time you'll be fantastically entertained.

    5 out of 5 stars BT has some MADSKILLZ.......2004-12-28

    "Madskillz" being the opening song on this collection of dance infused anthems, I thought that this was going to be another one of those DJ albums where substance was sacrificed for sound. Fortunatley, "Never Gonna Come Back Down" was next and while it really made no sense at all, it still held my attention with its no nonsense approach. I love the song "Dreaming" because it starts off with the hint of being a lullaby like ballad but evolves smoothly into a trance like forray of beats and melodies. "Shame" has the sound of Depeche Mode written all over it and that influence makes the song so much more likable. The title cut is decent but kind of like "Madskillz" and BT just blows me away with "Satellite" a soft, accoustic driven song that has some rather depresing undertones. What I find interesting about this collection is many of the songs read like poetry and are emotionally expresive. Both "Godspeed" and "Smartbomb" have been featured in movie soundtracks and after listening to them, it is no shock as to why. This album is one of the best DJ albums out there and it delivers the goods without very many disapointments!

    5 out of 5 stars A trip you will never come back down from........2004-11-27

    Let me put it this way: If I were to be stranded on an island, with a CD player, and batteries grew on the trees there, and was only allowed to bring five CDs with me, two of them would be "Movement In Still Life".
    Yep, I said two.
    Some goof decided to release this album twice with slightly different versions of the same songs, and put a couple of SLAMMING tracks exclusively on each one. "Namistai" and "Giving Up The Ghost", 2 of my favorite tracks on the yellow cover version, have been conveniently left off the BT cover version. Vice versa with the best track out of both versions in my opinion, the almighty "Smartbomb". Not to mention the yellow cover version is a continuous mix of tracks, while the other version has each track separated by a couple of seconds of agonizing silence. When I love every single track(and I mean that) on an album, I want the experience to be a never-ending trip. What good is getting laid if you're stopping every 5 minutes?
    I didn't care much for Ima, ESCM was fantastic, and Emotional Technology, his next full album after MISL, was nice, but none of them compares to MISL. EITHER version. So I say, if you have the dough and can find both versions, get them. It's worth it.
    BT is a classically trained musician, and it shows most of all on this album. This is far from the "bum-sss-bum-sss-bum-sss-bum-sss" drivel. This is driving, soothing, peaceful and violent all at the same time, with beats that will nod your head straight off your shoulders, and melodies that twist, turn, and groove. Songs you can cruise to ("Love on Haight Street"), pop-lock to (title track - watch for that funky-ass break!), or put the moves on that first date to ("Satellite") - and while that may sound like your average pop album (keep in mind BT DID do a track for N'Sync's "Celebrity" album, called "Pop"), once you listen, you realize - BT cannot come wack with his music. It's damn near impossible. Vocals - meh, those could use some work, but the music is that good, I don't care about the vocals. Most of these songs could work on a movie soundtrack or commercial, as well.
    To put it quite simply BT/Dance=Dr. Dre/Rap. Both know their craft, and can crank out a hit on a whim. It's a shame this album wasn't promoted more, but that makes it all the more a gem. If you like dance music that's not just for dancing, don't sleep. If you want an introduction to BT, don't sleep. And if you like this album, and want to hear more, try "Emotional Technology", an album that's not quite as good, but is closer in style than say, ESCM, an album from which BT seemed to begin his evolution from Enigma to who he is today.
    An amazing album.

    5 out of 5 stars The man's clearly got ADHD, but maybe that's a good thing........2004-06-20

    BT's third album, Movement In Still Life (MISL), is about as cohesive and flowing as... well, it's just not cohesive and flowing. Almost every track seems to have its own flavor, its own style, as if they had been pulled from different CDs themselves and thrown together by somebody with a CD burner. There's no intermixing between them, there's no real "sonic path," or building of the album (ie, soft songs at first, then faster songs following). However, MISL is probably one of the finest albums every produced from any genre of music.

    Breaks, trance, rock, pop... Everything comes together on this album. Each track, as mentioned before, has its own particular twist on a genre. Madskillz-Mic Chekka opens the album with a slick nu-breaks feel. Godspeed fills in for the classic Flaming June, confirming BT's place in trance / house history. Never Gonna Come Back Down, featuring Soul Coughing's M. Doughty, takes a pop-ish spin on BT's talents, while Shame and Satellite offer more of a soft rock / ballad one. Smartbomb drops BT into big beat territory, offering respectable competition for the likes of Fluke and The Crystal Method. Love On Haight Street offers the vocal talents of underground MCs Rasco and Fifty Grand. While most of BT's fans are probably club-happy trancers who'll detest the track, it isn't without its own good qualities, and shows more creativity in one song than than all of hip-hop has seen in years. The album really hits its apex with Dreaming, which combines one of Kirsty Hawkshaw's best vocal performances with the perfect synthesis of nu-breaks and trance.

    Most die-hard electronica fans will prefer the import version of MISL. With great tracks like Fibonacci Sequence, Giving Up The Ghost, the BT and Paul van Dyk joint-collaboration Namistai (all three are sadly missing from the US version), it's a more "classic BT" sounding edition, with a more electronic and subtly mixed feel (though it also has the truly awful track Ride, but I suppose nothing is perfect). All that said, the US version of MISL still remains a fantastic album. It's less genre focused than the import version, but is arguably a more ambitious and creative effort. I personally own both, and find both possessing of their own merits. If you can, get both. If you can't and are more electronically inclined, get the import version. If you prefer a bit more diversity, however, and are interested in seeing one artist's vision of what several genres should sound like, then don't hesitate to pick up this classic disc.
