Just as good as the Tantrance 3 in my opinion, again full of well-known

killer tunes, mainly by the leading artists of 1997. Absolute

highlights are CD1 tracks 2(!)&4, CD2 tracks 1,3,4,5,6,8,9(!). The rest

is good, too, except CD2 track 7(?), that's crap, don't know why they

put it on a Tantrance. Still worth buying, but it's very likely you

have most tracks on it already.

Tantrance 4 is yet another example of a double-cd compilation where I feel completely different about the two cds! Cd 1 goes right into my skull. Damn, this is one of the finest goa journeys a compilation has ever offered me. One lasting hit after another from masters such as Etnica, Astral Projection, Technossomy, UX, Prana ... Amazing track selection and easily validating a purchase of T4.

 

So what's wrong with cd 2? Well, obviously, we are also offered some great tracks here. Shakta, Organic Noise, Miranda, Astral Projection, and Orion all more or less deliver, but these aside I have issues with all other tracks. Alphanaut, for instance, runs along nicely but crashes and burns at 2:28 with the most stupid riff I've ever heard. The same story goes for Lost Chamber and the melody kicking in at 1:18. Likewise, when Ololiuqui opens their track with what sounds like someone burping they've lost me before they even get started! And Sandman sounds as if he has a train to catch - a train I'm not catching.

 

All in all, a safe purchase with an amazing cd 1 that is guaranteed to satisfy any mid nineties goa follower. Besides, whoever said you needed to hear both cds ...?

I'm of the opinion that this could've easily been a single CD release with the quality rising exponentially.

 

None of the tracks are really bad (quite good actually), but if you take all the great ones it would make for one powerhouse CD. My tracklist would look something like this:

 

Masters of the Universe

Plastic

Starchild (Total Eclipse Remix)

Elektron Bender (Samsara Live Mix)

Liquid

Labyrinth

Maian Dream

Shakti Shakta

Natural Born Killers

Electronic
