I was really into Tiesto's stuff like his Magik and In Search of Sunrise series, his Just Be album, In My Memory, etc. But when Kaleidoscope came out, he died as an artist to me (although I still respect him as an artist because he's so famous and well liked by newer fans). Also got exposure to Paul Van Dyk (For an Angel, Words), Armin Van Buuren (Blue Fear), Push (Universal Nation), ATB, BT, Sasha, Ferry Corsten, and a whole bunch of artists back in the early 2000s. Today, I just get AvB's A State of Trance radio show (been listening to it since 001 and I can't forget Oliver Lieb's Warrior - Voodoo). I occasionally grab the albums that they mention on the show but I almost never bother getting albums anymore as the radio station is good enough for me.
Yeah Tiesto's ISOS series are one of the best compilations I've heard in quite some time. He had to change his style though, Trance isn't the number one fan favorite it used to be, and I have to respect that business choice, even if I don't like the style. Some of his new stuff isn't bad, but nothing as good as Elements of Life for me, he was at his peak in my opinion. However Just Be had some great songs on it too, but I dunno, the amount of Vocal Trance he has on Elements is just too good for me to pass it up.
