"DJ Encore's "Inuition" is probably the best pop-trance album ever made. His latest, "Unique" comes in a close 2nd place. There is a new vocalist this time around to replace Engelina. I would love to see these 2 (Johanna and Andraes) tour together.

The strongest tracks:

You Can Walk On Water

Sweeter Than Beauty

Falling

Catch Me

Also note that there is a remake of "Out There", a ballad from Intuition."

Encore does it encore!!!

"I am a big fan of encore. Intuition is one of the best albums around, period. Unique is not as great as intuition, but it Is almost up there. Encore has good taste and he figured that johanna's voice is not a best fit for music like that of intuition. Instead, he created what is a perfect fit for johanna's sensuality and warm voice. I bought the album. I listen to it everyday and I recommend it to anyone who appreciates bands like Lasgo, which I do. There are fast and slow tunes on this album, but all in good taste. The slow songs go well with johanna's voice. The best song on this album in my opinion is "sweater than beauty". It would be a shame if this song did not make it up the charts. Expect a video for it.

Other great tracks:

Point of no return

You make me feel alive

Walk on water

Falling

The other tracks are also good.

"I love this album, but don't expect it to be like Intuition because its not! DJ Encore seems to be following the trend of other trance artists like Ian Van Dahl and Lasgo to do more commercial albums. There is a different version of "out there' on this that is almost unrecognizable from the original and samples Miami Sound Machines - Dr Beat!!! This great album needs a few listen to be appreciated."

This is.... Unique..

"DJ Encore follows up "Intuition" with "Unique" and incorporates a few changes. The album for the most part is pretty good. Unique debuts a different vocalist, Johanna, who definitely does a great job complementing his beats. Her voice is crisp and lends to the lyrics taking many of the tracks to another level. The album explodes with "You Can Walk On Water" and seems to somewhat taper off around "Follow In Your Footsteps". In trying not to sound too repetitive with high energy beats (which is no small feat for this genre), he seemed to be all over the place with tempo and caused the album flow to be off a bit. I would have rearranged a few tracks so that "Falling" and "Catch Me" would have immediately followed the opening track, but that's what playlists are for. Other great tracks include "Nobody Wants To Try", "You Make Me Feel Alive", and "Point of No Return" which exhibited the perfect blend of instrumental and Johanna's voice.

I would give this album 3.75 stars if I could, instead of 4. I felt it lacked a bit of energy, despite a five year hibernation period, and fell somewhat short compared to his "Intuition". Nonetheless, DJ Encore did a good job with this album mixing great vocals with some pulsating beats. I would definitely recommend this album and look forward to more work from this artist."

Dj Encore - Unique Excellence

"Finally, Dj Encore has retured! What can I say about this "Unique" album? IT WAS AWESOME!

This album with the lyrics were so moving. It kinda like lite rock and electronica in one. His style is a little different but awesome nontheless. Some tracks are not as trancy where other tracks are trancier than he's been previously. Engelina does a few back vocals on two or three tracks. We all know she's awesome. Johanna is the new singer. She was beautiful on this album in a different way from the first one. Wow, her lyrics were moving. Great tracks! "Sweeter Than Beauty, Falling, Nobody Wants to Try, On Your Own" Just plain awesome tracks. The lyrics hit home more on this album, more realistic I should say, not to take anything away from Engelina of course. Both singer add so much pure beauty to this music. It was thoroughly enjoyable! I hope all Dj Encore fans enjoy this album. Just remember though, nothing, and I mean nothing beats "I See Right Through To You." Unique is just as good though."
