Magik, Vol. 4: A New Adventure

I'm not to keen on the first half uf this album, but from track 9 onwards, I can't fault it.

Tiesto at his best, just not worth buying twice!

I have had the Magik series (all but First Flight) for about 2 years now. I intend to review them all on Amazon. I am choosing to review "A New Adventure" first because it was the first one I obtained and probably the one I have listened the most to.

As a general note the CD is quite energetic and uplifting throughout. A very warm and enthusiastic introduction "Feel Me" by Darkstar. Followed by a more gentle "Northern Spirit" by Kamaya Painters. "The Ambush - Everlast" is a tune that grabbed my attention on this mix album. It is one of those tunes that does not have piercing synths or a dramatic breakdown (compared with the likes of "Delerium - Silence" and tracks by Airscape). Yet it oozes with originality and mysteriousness.

A scorcher on this album is certainly "Sean Dexter - Synthetica (Extended Mix)". Not only has Tiesto seamlessly mixed the entry and exit of this epic tune but he has also placed it at just the right point in the album. This tune is hooj, turn it up LOUD!Another gentler fella resides as "Your Own Reality" by Kai Tracid. Followed by a big stormer "Vimana - We Came" - this album is like a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. It is certainly an adventure...whether new or not.

It's also nice to know that Tiesto isn't all for himself in this game. He acknowledges an outstanding piece of work by another well respected DJ (Armin Van Buuren) by including "Communication", here in it's tranced up best.

The AWARD for best track on Magik 4 has to go to Loop Control. This is trance music of the highest calibre. The breakdown is exploding with energy, leaving you with shivers down ur spine and an immense feeling of happiness. It is "Exceptionally Beautiful"...

For those of you who already know what Trance music is about and are looking for another great album to add to your collection, do not hesitate to buy.

For those of you who have absolutely no idea what Trance is but are intelligent enough to want to find out, this is more than a good starting point. The quality of this CD stretches far out into infinity.

They say money can never buy you happiness. I beg to disagree...the problem is that most people don't spend it on the right things...

An excellent blend of melodic-uplifting, and hard energetic trance, executed smoothly and superbly by Hollands number one. The compilation features much of Tiesto's own work including Kamaya Painters "Northern Spirit" and Allure's "We Ran at Dawn", as well as tracks from producers like Mauro Picotto and Oliver Lieb, providing us with a faster offering. This is a must for every Tiesto fan.
