5.0 out of 5 stars Magik Tales IV: A New Adventure, November 7, 2001

By 

Luc (Canada, Eh?) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Magik 4: New Adventure (Audio CD)

"Organic" is how i'd describe this offering. My ears are very pleased with Magik IV. Very deep but not out of touch with the dance floor. Right when "your own Reality" hits home, your wisked away to that place where all is natural and "organic". That's the feeling I get when "We Came" is in full swing. After that "Trommelmaschine" is a huge glop of mud in my ice cream, but that's not a bad thing, as it paves the way for candy like "Sparkles" and the danceable "Communication" by Armin. In the end all is forgotten as "Exceptionaly Beautiful" will hypnotize the listener with soothing melody as it lays the foundation for the extended instrumental of Mox Epoque's "I feel My..." Very sharp. Like an Exacto-Knife.

Holy Crap, Now I Can Die Happy!!!

Wow amazed by Dj Tiesto's work. This album is the reason he is my favorite Dj out there.

Speechless for describing the unique sounds and the music that really can make ANYONE dance even though if they do not like trance.

Let me try to describe it and as you all know that have heard that it is just great music.

1.)(Feel Me-Darkstar)5:58-a woman with vocals just saying a two word but some alright trance to back it up for those in a happy mood or an alright mood can enjoy this and probably dance a little but it doesn't make me want to dance. The beat is not unique for me cause even though I might be new to listening to trance I still thing it is basic. But like in the third minute or so an instrument comes to make it better but still not making me want to dance.

2.)(Northern Spirit-Kamaya)4:17- as you would have notice that while listening to it you will find this mix great cause you won't know what track you are cause the mix is so great. The beat stays the same as how the first one ended. This beat slowly changes which I do not mind cause what comes in the song like in the third minute will be strange but the third song comes in

3.) (Everlast-The Ambush)3:56-It start with a weird sound like a guy saying hiphop that is what it sounds for me. But then the first minute it gets good with a basic beat. It got to me and was interesting cause while listening to this I started thinking of the rainforest(wierd but cool) then in the third minute it goes with the strangest beat in the whole album and after seconds I learned to love it caue the last minute is warming up for the next track which is my favorite one

4.) (Easter Island(Cygnus X Mix)-Art Of Trance)4:02-It has that strange beat like a sleeping dead hollow beat(told you it was strange) Then later it goes kinda normal beat then WOW IT GOES TO THE BEST BEAT!!!! THE BEAT THAT MADE EVERYONE DANCE THE ONE THAT WILL MAKE EVERYONE STOP JUMPING AND START MAKING YOU DANCING FOR REAL NO GLOW STICKS NOTHING LIKE THAT REAL DANCING I love every second of it then it goes with some calm beat

5.) (Aira Force(Main Mix)-Arrakis)5:27-It has a good beat to it but come on we can see that it isn't better than the other one then it changes to another beat soon in the song it starts slow then faster and louder and so one then the real beat goes in probably making others dance but it only got me moving not dancing

6.) (Synthetica(Extended Mix)-Sean Dexter)4:36- I must say I love the beat it is kinda imotional but more like dancing beat it stays with the beat making it louder I say its more than basic but not a outstanding song then someone speaks(lol) it still think that was not needed. It leaves with a unique beat

7.) (Scatterbomb(String Mix)-The Sneaker)4:53-The beat for me is fresh unique probably the only beat I hear here that I didn't expect. My guess it was trying to go an imotional phase cause man I am telling you right now this song but me and many immotionals while I was resting. Some strange guy talking to end the song up.

8.) (Your Own Reality(Tracid Mix)-Kai Tracid)2:22-Some normal trance finally a calm beat to prepare you of what is coming. To leave the phase you were while listening to tracks. It has a trance feeling to it the whole song.

9.) (We Came-Vimana)7:32-Basic trance for me not bad for the first minute it is clam then the journey will start in the 1:30 to the song which is a great introduction to the journey with the unique feeling that you are being lifted the as the Bang happens the feeling I had was like damn this music is great cause my whole body felt good.

While staying with the trance feeling in the background and the unique one happening it is just good then a beat goes in making me feel happy for some reason but then (lol) for some reason it goes to the trance feeling leaving people blind and being dissapointed but then it comes back again and soon you will have the feeling again but now better and more emotional making me feel odd can't describe the feeling that good so I won't try.

10.) (Trommelmaschine-Der Dritte Raum) Not bad so the start then it makes some instrument beat like cuba dancing music (that is my words for it) ends alright.

11.)(Sparkles-Dj Tiesto)5:47-Oh yeah the famous Sparkles finally the supposely called masterpiece is reached, lets just say I expected more even though it is good trance I thought it was going to make me cry like many said. But man I will say this that while listening to the whole album it got me quiet emotion. It gets emotional like in the third minute or so and started making me different not no more like the other tracks kinda empty inside lonely(this music really got into me) the emotional beat is a simply beat but wow really good but come on I expected to cry!

12.) (Communication-Armin Van Buuren)6:03-A great trance Dj is one this album and does a great job staying with the feeling of the album not bad if I may say. It has a beat the will sink you in and grab you but no where to emotional but great music.

13.) (We Ran At Dawn-Allure)3:57-(lol) the first seconds remind me of Street Fighter(come on we all played the game and if you remember the music listen to the first seconds and it reminds you of that) well back to the review. Not bad staying with a fresh feeling no where to emotional but some good trance which for me was fresh.

14.) (Exceptionally Beautiful-Loop Control)4:12- Trance like many other out there. It will make many people jump. Just cause this one is short doesn't mean I hate it I liked cause of the trance feeling but for me I wanted more.

15.) (I Feel My..(Extended Instrumental)-Mox Epoque fea. Nina)3:58-Loud music baby and reminds my of Traffic for some reason but this is no where same as Traffic it has an awesome beat to it but lets imagine what great f**king music can be accomplish when this song meets Traffic. Well I moving beat to it but in the end not unique.

16.) (Pulsar(Picotto Tea Mix)-Mauro Picotto)3:05-Last song to this great album. It stays with the same beat and never changes and some voice in the song I think it is a great song to end the album

Well I hope this was helpful and I would recommend this to anyone the first 30 mins was amazing and the other minutes were with emotion and to have the best experience but this one on your best system and put it high and just do nothing but listen but do not put it on any computer cause it will ruin the mix.

Verdict to all: 7.5 out of 5.0 YES IT IS THAT GOOD AND THIS IS MY FIRST MAGIK CD AND I WANT TO HEAR ALL MAGIK CAUSE THIS ONE IS GREAT!!

Probably the last Tiesto release with that classic trance sound, and that's kind of what makes it special. It starts off with a bang with Armin's classic "Feel Me" and mixes smoothly into "Northern Spirit." Like every good trance album, it takes you on a sonic journey between different sounds of electronic music. A really nice break in-between the CD is Kai Tracid's "Your Own Reality," just one of a few tracks I wish he had extended. Some of my favourites include Der Dritte Raum's "Trommelmaschine" and I just love the way Tiesto mixes it into his own "Sparkles." But the real head banger track comes up, and it's wonderful-- Armin's "Communication." This is arguably Armin's signature track, and the buildup Tiesto's been leading you up to this point has been deeply gratifying. Tiesto then takes it down a number and lets you enjoy "We Ran at Dawn," before taking you on another build-up as he finishes it off with Mauro Picotto's "Pulsar." Again, I wish he had just extended the playing time of this track a few minutes longer.
Overall, this is the sort of album, much like many of the early Magik albums that are better appreciated with a set of headphones in your bedroom as opposed to the club speakers. In my opinion, it ranks neck and neck with Magik 5 and 6.
I've had this album for quite a few years now and while some of the tunes are dated compared to current productions, nothing beats the sheer overall composition. Such a gratifying release.
