Excellent Addition!

"Trance Party 4 is an excellent addition to the past 3 volumes of the Trance Party series. In my opinion, this is almost as good as Volume 2. Volume 2 was filled with tons of classics, and I'm pretty sure some of the songs on here will become ones also.



1)The cd starts out with the light trancey song "Cruising" by Nalin and Kane. It's a pretty good intro song for this cd.



2)The next song is "As the Rush Comes" by Motorcycle. The song is 'ok' in my opinion though, not that great.



3)Next is "It's All Vain" (Innervisions Mix) by Magnolia. This isn't bad... it's just kinda boring.



4)After that, we get into the male vocals. Now I don't really care for male vocals in my music. It just seems that female vocal's seem better for trance songs. The first male song is "Rain Down On Me" (Tiesto Remix) by Kane. I don't like the guys voice on this, so I don't care to listen to it.



5)Next is another male song, "Love Comes Again" by Tiesto feat. BT. This song is pretty good, and the vocals are nice.



6)Then we jump back into a female vocal song "I Believe" by Dee Robert. This is one of my favorite songs on the CD. Her voice is really angelic and the tune is really good.



7)Then the male vocals come back in with "Livin' On a Prayer" by Jordan James. This is a pretty good song also. The vocals and words are pretty good also. It kinda has that "belongs in a movie" feel to it as like one of the songs they play when the characters are traveling the world or something. This is the last song with the male vocals on the CD.



8)The next song is "Burned With Desire" by Armin van Buuren feat. Justine Suissa. This is a really good song... one that lifts you up when your feeling down.



9)Next is a re-make from Kira of the classic song "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now). Kira's voice is very 'Christina/Britney-ish' in this song, which is good. She does a wondrful job on this track.



10)After that, comes a TP-regular Lasgo. Her song "Surrender" is desent, but I still think her "Something" song is her best.



11)Following Lasgo is "Miracle" by Cascada. I know this is a different mix, but I'm not sure which one it is because it doesn't list it. But this is still very good. She is very similar to Groove Coverage in her style of music.



12)Track number 12 is "Show Me a Sign" by Kontakt. The vocals are pretty good on this track too. The tune is nice also.



13)Next is "Sunrise" by Ashiva. This song is really great and kinda different. Great vocals and great tune.



14)Then in comes another TP-regular... Ian Van Dahl, with her song "Where Are You Now?". Her song is pretty good, if only "Believe" could have come out earlier! But this is still a classic from IVD.



15)After that is "Tell Me Where You Are" (O.S.I.R.I.S. vs Boostar Mix) by Ago. I love this song also... one of the 'harder' songs on the CD. Great tune.



16)And finally, the last song and a great song to end with... comes "Listen to Your Heart" (Furious F. Ez Mix) by DHT. The piano in this song is really pretty and the vocals and nice also.



Overall, even though it seems like I don't totally like some of the songs on the CD, about 80% I really like. I deffinatly say this CD is worth it, especially if you have the other volumes and liked them. You'll deffinatly like this one too!"

Solid!

"I don't know who these "Happy Boys" are, but they're my new best friends! Upbeat, energetic & addictive is what best describes this hot straight-from-the-club music. Any fans of Julian Marsh or DJ Sammy will love this!"

Great music selection

"The moment this CD came out I got a copy and enjoyed the music selection one song after the other. The selection though isn't Trance music. It's more of House music. The only trance-like properties are the heavy beats. In fact if you check the music selection some are well-known pop music turned into disco songs - Livin' on a Prayer originally sang by Bon Jovi, Against All Odds by Phil Collins, Listen to Your Heart by Roxette. I have to admit it was cheesy hearing these songs and then again as a disco remake, but then this has always been the European trend which I have to respect.



I am happy to see DJ Tiesto's new single "Love comes again" that features one of my favorite artist BT.



The mix from one song to another is nothing to witness. It's just plain vanilla transition. I would appreciate the stylish mixing where the songs creep in slowly via the introduction of the instruments or the beat. If they gave much more thought into the mixing, I would have rated it 5 stars.



All in all, as the disc states this is one heck of a CD that you can put in if you feel like partying at home or in the car. Something good to add to the collection."
