Tisto "Just Be"
Its evident that with each passing year Tisto continues to hone not only his DJ skills but his production skills too, as is made obvious with Just Be, his first original artist album since "In My Memory". The album was recorded over the fall of 2003 in Holland.
01 - Forever Today (12:03)
This epic opening track sets the overall tone for the album with a dark orchestral and cinematic feel. Co-produced by Geert Huinink (Magik Journey)
02 - Love Comes Again (vocals by BT)(8:11)
This time Tisto teams up with LA-based Brian Transeau, BT for those who know what hes been up to. Unlike other collaborations with fellow-producers, BT does not push any buttons, but actually provides the vocals for this innovative production. Tisto has turned the song into a perfect mix of dancefloor sounds and mesmerizing melodies.
03 - Traffic (5:27)
The first single released in Europe hit the UK Top 40 and went straight to #1 in Holland, keeping Justin Timberlake off the top spot. A live favorite, traffic has become a signature anthem for Tisto in clubs worldwide.
04 - Sweet Misery (vocals by Joanne Lloyd) (7:35)
Tisto took one foot off the dancefloor with this haunting, powerfull song (co-written by the Nashville songwriting team of Jo Lloyd and Dan Muckala) and turned it into a driving, filmic track.
05 - Nyana (6:46)
This song first appeared on the mix CD of the same title and reappears here in its original unmixed form for the first time.
06 - UR (6:01)
One of the albums down tempo moments, perfect for after hours chill-out sessions. Features Matt Hales (a.k.a. Aqualung), an up and coming singer-songwriter from the UK who came to Tistos attention with his hit-single, strange and beautiful.
07 - Walking On Clouds (7:29)
Longtime collaborator Kirsty Hawkshaw (Opus 3) appears once again with Tisto as she delivers the soaring top line over a track co-written and co-produced by Josh Gabriel (Motorcycle and Gabriel & Dresden)
08 - A Tear In The Open (9:24)
Tisto visits gaelic grounds with this haunting epic tune, which lyrics reflect a love long lost. A true track which recalls the golden era of trance.
09 - Just Be (8:46)
The title track embodies many of the hallmarks of this album. A classic dance floor anthem true to Tistos club roots featuring a strong melody and haunting vocals form co-writer Kirsty Hawkshaw.
10 - Adagio for Strings (7:23)
Tisto reinterpretation of Barbers Adagio for Strings. A powerful close to the album and a highlight of the Tisto live set around the world, Adagio was originally produced as an introduction for Tisto In Concert.
