New for post summer (and post Ibiza) dance compilations, comes Trance Nation 4 boasting all the lasted Trance songs. Mixed by Ferry Corsten and System F, this is the fourth Trance Nation from the Ministry of Sound.

With the current rise in popularity of Garage, Trance has somewhat taken a back seat this summer, with the majority of Holiday goers heading to Ayia Napa rather than Ibiza. This is perhaps reflected in this album's track line up. The majority of the tracks have already appeared on the Ibiza Annual, also from the Ministry. Admitly, the tracks are in a different order and mixed by different DJ's but that's not the point. We have heard them before and want some new music. It perhaps, would be so bad except Ultimate Ibiza, also from Ministry of Sound was released on the same day. Worst of all, 75% of the tracks are the same as that on Trance Nation 4, same mixes and everything.

Although we were waiting for a while for Trance Nation 4, it's not acceptable to dish out the stuff we already have, and worst still release a near identical album at the same time. There must be more songs out there we haven't heard and need listening to.

Having said this, if you want a good 'Trancy' album and haven't bought one in a while, then you won't be disappointed by this one. Tracks to listen out for would be "Two Tribes" by Frankie Goes To Hollywood and "Bassfly" by Tillman & Ries although most tracks are faultless. Perhaps, most annoying is "Zombie Nation" as it's on every single compilation I've seen and is getting on everyone's nerves by now.
