overall i don't think V4 measures up either.. it has a few nice songs, but overall the only track on it i would consider in the *stellar* category is underworld's fantastic remix of mental generation's 'cafe del mar' (no relation to energy 52's 'cafe del mar'!) - a mix that is around 100bpm and includes hip hop style beats with that recognizable underworld sound.. (could be slower than 100 now that i think about it) now that's not to say V4 is bad, it's much better than your run of the mill dance compilation.. but compared to V2 it's just not there.. much more suggested is another compilation that came out around the same time as trance 4, cream of the underground house 2.. includes underworld's rez, slam's positive education, rejuvination's requiem, and some other decent ones..
