Music reviews of In Search of Sunrise 6
Music Review: journey from beach, club, and beach again
Rating: 5 Stars
World renowned DJ Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 6: Ibiza, disc 1 takes the listener on a journey from the beaches of Ibiza back into the city, and once again at the beach. It is all together relaxing and uplifting yet focused, tight, and alert. Disc 1 begins with your most basic electronic music technique: sampling. Tiesto samples raw sound from gentle waves crashing upon a beach and gradually builds an ambient texture with soft, echoing, string-like electronic melodies that float over the sampled sound. The relaxed opening track mimics the waking to dawn after a long beach party.
This slow, gradual building of "La Hacienda" leads beautifully into "Contact" and in this second track the electronic string-like melodies become much more pronounced. The beat nearly doubles and the echoes become more expansive as Tiesto includes accented percussive beats to push the track towards a full consciousness, as if in the hour before beach-side shops open for the day. In the last forty-seconds of "Contact," Tiesto includes a squeaking rhythm to merge with the third track, "Don't Belong." The early morning-like beats drop off as a keyboard and a strong percussive beat enters as the female vocalist solos for a few moments with an orchestral backdrop. Keyboard, wind, and percussion are then layred back into the track. The song mimics a midday bicycle ride amongst a crowded boardwalk, as it is significantly busier and bouncier than the first two tracks.
In the fourth track, "Vice," Tiesto changes the pace as he introduces a different drum beat over the flowing ambient track below, punctuated by a steady cymbal rhythm and delayed jazz-like melody. As if watching a dizzying Latin American beach city whiz past, eventually the scene blurs before your eyes, just Tiesto expertly fades certain sounds away and pronounces others to begin transitioning into the following track. Before the listener even realizes it fully, the track glides into "Madras," which has a cut and spliced male vocalist's voice flit in and out with a significantly faster drum beat and a guitar chord, repeatedly looping. A different ambient texture also coyly floats behind all the busy instrumentals and vocals in front of it. This track has a darker feel than what the listener has observed before. It almost appears as if the blurring, darker texture mimics driving through a tunnel towards another beach party.
By the time the listener notices that the track has changed over to "Summerfish," suddenly the listener has arrived at another beach scene, with distinct vocal samples of children excitedly speaking and jumping about. The keyboard-driven ambient layer in this track mixed with horn-like vibrations reminds the listener of a busy, sunny afternoon at the beach. The same quick, accented percussive returns in this track as well. However, "Tell Me" quickly follows up this track to change the pace of the album back towards the nightlife that is so vibrant at any beach city. With a female vocalist and club beats, suddenly the listener is transported back into the city with its lights and skyscraping hotels. The song is energized with the pulse of a steady, driving nightclub beat.
"Searching for Truth" departs from the club-vibe with looped melodies that focus on a darker dance scene. With the quick harp notes, a soft but distinct cymbal crash, and an unwavering xylophone-like melody that keeps the track tightly bound, Tiesto introduces a piano powerhouse to dominate the track. Then Tiesto removes all of the layers to allow certain sounds the spotlights and repeats this cycle throughout.
If "Search for Truth" had a tinge of darkness, then "The Sun'll Shine" completely descends into a basement, industrial club. With a heavy electronic pulse, Tiesto eerily includes a husky female vocalist, looped quickly to say "Da me" in Spanish before she begins to sing with an emotional and grungy color in her lyrics. Her ghost-like and nebulous voice, combined with the moody beats behind her seems to suffocate the bright, beach-like allure of the previous tracks. "See the Difference Inside" lightens up the industrial beats but includes a higher-pitched computer-like blipping noise over what sounds like a two minor notes alternating repeatedly as a backdrop. In this track, two vocalists airily sing without variation from one another over the otherwise dark track.
"Somewhere Inside Me," however, allows the listener to briefly return to the beach front with a single female vocalist and strings that lighten the track with their gentler sound. The sound of soft mallets dropping smoothly over what might be xylophones further propels the track towards a dreamier direction. In the last three minutes, the song builds, then releases with a wind-like sound again, as if bringing the ocean breeze through the listener's hair. "High Glow" continues this feeling. Soft metallic beats, mimicking a xylophone relax the song but the overall texture of the song with its quick cymbal crashes and electronic blips, combined with a smoky female vocalist, drive the song back towards the city with its busy layering of sounds. There are even moments in the song where it slows down to just the metallic, xylophonic echo with the vocalist's singing, as if at a red light in the city. But the song quickly rebuilds and the emotional solo is quickly swept up in a current of trance all over again.
"Lonely" begins emotionally, with a piano solo supported with an elusive ambient track in the background, creating calm before the female vocalist glides tenderly over the instrumentals. The song feels like a nighttime beach, quiet and ebbing, then crashing upon the beach. Once the final track arrives, the listener awakens again. "Hide and Seek," returns to the early morning beach scene after a long night of dancing, with a female vocalist gently soloing and floating above a gentle, ambient line accented by smooth percussive lines that create a happy, euphoric theme. Not unlike the last song played on the dance floor, this song is fully engaged yet pushes the listener towards a close. In the final thirty seconds, the alert yet simultaneously relaxed ambiance falls away slowly, leaving just a solo electronic beat and a final cymbal crash, as if signaling a return to the very beginning of the CD.
