The DJ Tiesto Magikal Remake combines opera and beautiful trancemusic together. This is more than just a track, it's a story. The fairytale introduction, the banging bassline and out of this world sound fx make this one of Tiesto's best works to date. A perfect combination of opera and trancemusic.

Armin's Remix is also very strong, with a stunning intro, but the track as a whole is straightforward trance in the line of other Armin van Buuren productions in that time era.

Next to this the record is served in a beautiful sleeve! A sought after release this is!
