The piece I'm thinking of (and which I can 'hear' in my mind), is playing while he's training and sparring, preparing for the next fight. Sadly, I don't know musical notation, or I'd post it !!

And in my opinion, better too. But that's Tiesto really.... i find his stuff more aimed at the younger market, to those that are just starting out in dance and electronica. Oh and Mojo, look at Moby! New York's finest. All 'round musical genius, intellectual, and classically trained to boot!

I like both versions, but find Tiesto's more like something I can dance to. Orbit's is more 'New Agey' to me. Music I sit and listen to.

Just like what happens in pop music really, when groups cover songs that aren't really that old, but the latest generation of pop music buyers don't realise are straight covers, as they seem fresh and new to them... know what i mean? Actually, speaking of Orbit, modern electronica and comparrisons with classical music, his version of Adagio For Strings was released on his album Pieces In A Modern Style, a collection of classical pieces by the famous composers of yesteryear, all performed and arranged with a modern electronic twist. Anychance you like Paul Van Dyk, Ali?

Personally, I don't feel like this classical piece lends itself very well to electronica remixing in either case. It's a long, slowly developing theme, that's passion gets diluted when overlaying the rhythm tracks I would imagine that the music of composers like Vivaldi, Bach & Mozart would lend themselves more cohesively to this kind of marriage.

By the time I got to them there were none left for under $150 or per ticket. Tiesto is good but not THAT good. He has a show in Vancouver a few days before, same deal. Sux
