Album Description: You could say it's been a long wait for Tiësto's rabid fans to get their hands on a new mix compilation.
His last mix, was Nyana, released in May 2003 and in between, Tiesto was voted the World’s Number One DJ by readers of both DJ (UK) and BPM Culture (USA); released his artist album Just Be and the soundtrack to his performance at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Athens 2004, entitled Parade Of The Athletes as well as the hit singles 'Traffic', 'Just Be', and 'Love Comes Again' (featuring BT); and two acclaimed live DVD's from the Tiësto In Concert events in 2003 and 2004.
In Search Of Sunrise 4 is Tiësto's tribute to sun and sand, open air venues and long summer nights, inspired by his tours through Latin America in 2004 and 2005, where he visited Brasil, Argentina, Peru, Costa Rica, Colombia and many many more.
His travels through these countries, especially the party atmosphere and the warmth of the people made such a deep impression that they would form the main inspiration for this new release. Tiësto has selected some of the finest tracks from his playlists, and has signed tracks especially and exclusively for this compilation.
Amazon.com: Though he's as close to being the quintessential trance DJ as anyone, Tiësto has in the past used his mix records to drop new, sometimes challenging material (e.g., 2003's Nyana). But that's never been what the Sunrise records are about. Like 2004's Olympics-anthem release Parade of the Athletes, the vibe is all-inclusive, overtly positive, and infused with a strong orchestral bent that broadens its appeal. The first disc works up a lather after a lukewarm start, ending strongly with tracks from Gabriel & Dresden and BT ("Force of Gravity," spiffed up with a Tiësto remix). The second disc isn't so shy, though the Ibiza sheen gets a little glossy. If there's one thing this DJ can do, it's convincingly integrate a distinctive vocal ("Silence," anyone?), and his collaboration with Aqualung's Matt Hales on "UR" is no exception. One gets the sense that Sunrise 4 could have been just one disc and still delivered the essential punch--but even though it's a bit bloated, this collection unquestionably has the epic heft for which Tiësto is known and revered. --Matthew Cooke

Rating: - wow!!
I've listened to teck-ish music since Nintendo 8 bit. (there are a lot of unsung heros in 8 bit gaming music). But anyway, i know what i like... this cd set is what i like. there are a number 1, 2, and 3 star reviews for this album. they all seem angry and seeminly wish that tiesto had not explored other avenues. i have no idea hwhat these people do or their taste but they missed the make here. this mix is nothing short of brilliant. tiesto is a master. i am not a huge fan of isos 5 disc 2 but isos4 is an amazing ride... the poor reviews say tieso this- tiesto that... he didn't make this ...

Rating: - Best (so far)
Of the 5 ISOS albums released, this is the best by far. BTW, ISOS5 sucks
Rating: - IF YOU LIKE TO LANGUISH IN PAIN, BUY THIS!!!!
AGAIN TIESTO GIVES US ONE MORE REASON TO HATE HIM, WHY CAN"T HE JUST GO AWAY AND LEAVE US ALL ALONE?
Rating: - More house than trance
This is my first Tiesto CD that I heard. IMO It's a very good House CD. Not as laid back as I would have liked to call it a trance CD.
Rating: - Once again, great CD.
This is yet again, a great CD by Tiesto. However, I still liked Panama better, although just slightly, and so I think that this album deserved a four out of five stars. I love Tiesto's stuff, so I hope he keeps on pullin through!
