"Tiesto's latest on Ultra Records is a collection of his past and present catalog of hits which by the way are all separate individual tracks, not beat mixed. The problem I had with this collection isn't with the songs themselves but the shortened time lengths on certain songs. Don't be fooled by Amazon's tracklist times of some of these songs, many are incorrect. What they have listed is the download version of "Magikal Journey" not the physical cd itself which is what I'm reviewing. For example On Disc One "Suburban Train" clocks in at 3:25, "Lethal Industry" at 2:44, "Just Be" at 3:12, - all edited versions. Onto Disc Two which highly edits "In The Dark" to 4:36, "Elements Of Life" (a live version radio edit no less) clocks in at 3:34, and "Carpe Nocturne" at 4:34! You'd think that considering the second disc which runs a tad over sixty three minutes, they'd have added longer versions, but again the customer gets shafted. In my opinion some of Tiesto's best songs have been chopped to pieces and some mediocre ones given their full length versions. And why a Tiesto 2010 remix of "In The Dark" at the end of the second disc? Quite frankly if this is the best Tiesto (or Ultra Records) could come up with as a collection of his past and present songs it's pretty pathetic."
