Universal Religion 4

One of the better Universal Religion albums. If you don't know where to start, try this one. If you don't care for the music, then the other ones probably won't be enjoyable. Lots of great tracks on here with a variety of trance styles. Fans of the series will be happy with this entry.

Wow...Wow wow wow...I'm not too big a fan of Armin's normally. I will listen to his State of Trance albums, but they really aren't anywhere on the top of my list, but this album is different. I was absolutely blown away by the mixing and track list on this disc, and it's become one of my absolute favorites.The track list is incredible, starting with "Every Other Way" and ending with "Sin City". Some other huge highlights are "This Moment" with it's incredibly emotional melody and vocals, "Tuvan" with it's stuttering beauty, and "Healesville Sanctuary" which is almost awe-inspiring.I absolutely recommend this for anyone that even remotely likes trance because this is truly a masterpiece. I can only hope that Armin's future recordings go more like this album.

good

Amazing compilation by Armin with the freshest and latest in trance and progressive. So many tunes that give you goosebumps and leave you feeling positive and upbeat. This is what trance is all about -- uplifting, upbeat dance melodic dance music with beautiful, meaningful vocals!Armin's remix of "Beggin' You" by Cerf, Mitiska, and Jaren is hands down my favorite track of this compilation. The remix beat Armin added to this particular tune has more of "jungle" feel to it and is matched by exquisite melodic sounds. The vocals by Jaren gives me goosebumps! I also love Armin's remix of BT's "Every Other Way". Fantastic remix with amazing sound arrangement! I also really like "Venice Beach" by Daniel Kandi. "Healesville Sanctuary" and "RAMsterdam" are amazing tunes that you can listen to over and over again and not get sick of them! They have the potential of being the "Tune of the Year" on Armin's weekly A State Of Trance radioshow. Overall, the transition between each tune is incredibly smooth and flawless. Since this compilation was recorded live at Amnesia nightclub in the party/club island of Ibiza, Spain back in July 2009, Armin included the background sounds of the audience at appropriate times throughout the compilation to make you feel that you are actually there with the crowd in the club back on that hot summer night!This album is perfect to play during a workout, on your way to a bar or club, or at a party with friends at home. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you Armin for yet another incredible compilation!

I highly recommend this disc to both existing AVB fans and those looking for an introduction to his discs. I've said it before in previous reviews, but Armin's style keeps maturing, and his ability to pace a set is amazing. The tracks flow beautifully, mixing is excellent, and the live recording adds an edge of energy to the proceedings.I don't think any trance fan will be disappointed with this disc - together with ASOT 2009 (I haven't heard ASOT 2010 yet), this is Armin at his best.

Since this album came out, I have been listening to it over and over. Every time I listen to it, I feel it as I did the first time. It never gets old. No doubt why Armin is number 1. Buy this now, you won't regret it. I was also able to attend Armin's Universal Religion 4 Tour in Houston, it was my first time seeing him and it was the best thing ever.. I love it how Armin involves the sound of the crowd at the perfect time because it reminds me of when i saw him. If you haven't heard UR4, you don't know what you're missing!

Well thought out and put together by one of the greatest trance DJ's. The Universal Religion series has never seemed to let trance starving fans downs. And in a world where this type of music is constantly changing, Armin goes the distant by keeping up what he does best. A must have CD!

I'll keep this short and to the point.This CD NEEDS to be in your collection! This is the first Universal Religion Album I've bought. But I am not disappointed at all!The first 2 tracks on the CD will give you a taste of whats to come, the whole CD is amazing and I must second that #5 "Beggin You" is one of the best songs I've heard in a while! Buy this album and I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed!I have bought a lot of Trance records this year (Kaleidoscope, ASoT 09, Anjunabeats Vol 7, etc.), but this one comes out on top!
