| I was snooping around amazon the other day ordering my copy of Balance 005, when a recommedations page popped up and asked if I also wanted to purchase some of the Tranceport albums. Well I already have Tranceports 1 and 3, and I loved both of them. But I had always thought the tranceport series had died after 3. But I was wrong. On that page I saw the album covers for both Transport 4 and 5, 4 mixed by Max Graham and 5 mixed by Quivver and so I said to myself, "Damn, I gotta get these." But I thought I'd ask first if 4 and 5 are worth the purchase, or if one is better than the other. So let me know, I'd appreciate the input before handing amazon more of my money. |

I wasn't aware there was a Transport 5. I did some browsing online to see what I could learn about it and also found out there is a 6 by Trendroid.
I have 4, but I haven't played it in years. I'll listen to it tomorrow and tell you what I think. |

Transport 4 is a great album, i havent heard 5 but i know that 4 is fantastic.
A very worthy follow up to oakey dokies earlier effort.

| It was tranceport till volume 3 then after that it went to transport and 4 is better than 5, not just because max graham is such a nice guy, it is because the tracks are so amazing, hybrid track on it but it was quite possibly the best song from that time, ogenki clinic - first light. |

| Okay, I just got done listening to 4, while doing research for a paper, and didn't even notice when either CD was done playing; it was that uneventful. In my view it is nothing special, most of the CD is really soothing, but very unnoticeable. |

That's part of the point.
I also would say 4. It really brought out the talent Max has. |

| no question... go with max graham's. This is one of my all-time favorite mix cds (both of them). It took a while to grow on me, but they are so good. Transport 5 is ok, but not exactly my thing. |

| CD2 of Transport 4 is actually a live mix which I think is cool...not a lot of compilations have that now. Transport 5 is a lot darker but still good. I personally like 4 better but thats just my preference. |

i prefer 4
but although i am a massive max graham fan, i have always thought the cd was just a little overrated. its good, but not that good
as others have said, 5 is a bit too dark for my liking (but still not a bad cd) depends on what sounds you are into |

Thanks for relistening to it again Nautilus. Appreciate it. Reading the posts on here has only confirmed what my initial instincts were, to purchase Transport 4 and forget about 5. Those Max Graham productions I heard on Oakenfold's Another World made a fan out of me and I can't get enough of Coastline. So I'll definitely go and check out this compilation of his. Thanks again for the replies.
BTW, can't believe they made a Transport 6. :eyespop: Wonder how that is... |

They need to change the name of 6 to Houseport. |

I actually like it quite a bit. It is true that its a lot of house, but one can't forget tracks like "Sarges", "Fleabitten" and offcoure "Flying". They are very melodic and EXTREMELY well produced.
The enitre album is very dark, and a bit tribal in areas. The recurring a capella from "From dusk till dawn" is a nice touch and is very catchy.
It took me a few listens, but now I enjoy most of the tracks. Some are pure dance/house, but others are very trancy. IMO "Flying" is one of the better trance tracks, on par with "Seven Cities" and "Children".
As far as Transport 4 vs. Transport 5 I personally go for 4 even though 5 has some interesting tracks. For me 4 has more energy, more melody and innovation and I find 5 to be rather repetitive and we all know that can be boring unless done right.
Highlights on 4 are "Redemption", "Slow Motion", "Kittens", Max's own tracks, the Compuetr Hell track and some others I can't remember off the top of my head. Though others are rather boring... |
