While most of you have heard of 4 Strings, I haven't. If you don't like them, that's cool, but I mean c'mon. Show some respect to the people that do. Anyways, any other artists that sound the same as 4 Strings or have the same style?

Oh right I see your logic there. We don't like them, and from what I can see noone was arrogant in their posts, but nevertheless we are 'dicks' for thinking this. Good one mate.

My post was probably directed to you for the most part. You're acting like you're king of the forums. Wow, you're giving everyone else on this board a bad rep, MATE. Maybe I better stick to the car forums...

or favorite tracks

I've been also a into the night addict. The Gabriel and Dresden dub of this one is a monster. Check that one out.

Ahem, I can smell a tool here and it definitely isn't RaizM. Lets look at the facts, you come into a thread where the topic is clearly the praise of 4 Strings, yet the only thing you can contribute is

Ok, an opinion yes but why voice it here? Why not start your own 4 STRINGS ARE COMPLETEL SHITE thread? You're just as bad as those tools that go into forums saying 'HONDA SUX FAGS' in a thread titled 'I love the S2000'. But hey, you're better then those people.

Hmmm... I guess you've purchased then listened to every 4 Strings track to come to this opinion? I guess I should apologize that I bought Let It Rain, Into the Night and Diving on lp because it's shit? I guess I must have a pretty shit taste in music.

Originally posted by DJ Mikey Mike I like revelation, and Into The night, and maybe Let It Rain if i'm in that cheesy kind of mood (all instrumental versions of course.)

Hey, you wouldn't wanna loose your ego by listening to the vocal dubs eh? Music is music.. and I thought rock fans were bad.

Some of the 4 Strings livesets i've listened to have had a lot more trance then what's been played by the likes of Paul van Dyk lately.

Ciao baby.

Yeah, the vocal mixes are a bit shit but I don't mind a lot of his work. Diving wasn't so great but Let It Rain is quite nice really. You get the feeling though that he kinda stopped trying after Into The Night...

hey no one mentioned 'fly away' ..
that's a great track ..
yeah .. first heard 'into the night' ,, pvd's 'politics of dancing' or course. .. best album by pvd of course ..

but no dissing 4 strings .. they're not as bad as other popular trance djs, where they're pretty pathetic with their over-advertising and over-playing on the radio and clubs ..

I think the instumental of Diving is his best work under the 4 Strings guise, along with Revelation. A very often overlooked track off the (admittedly cheesy) album is Eastern Vibe, which I feel is nearly on par with Into The Night. The instumental of Let It Rain isn't too bad, but the rest of the album is forgettable.

To the thread started, check Paul van Dyk's sets.

Thanks for behaving like true music enthusiasts the rest of you (still showing appreciation even though you may or may not like the artist's music). I'll definately check out the classics thread(s).
