Album Review: Wings Of Freedom by 4 Seas
Alright, let’s talk about Wings Of Freedom by 4 Seas. Released in 2013 under the UK-based label Trancefixion Digital, this album dives deep into the electronic and dance scene with a trance twist. If you’re into pulsating beats, soaring melodies, and that euphoric trance vibe, this one’s worth a spin.
The album features multiple versions of the titular track, “Wings Of Freedom,” each offering something slightly different. It’s like they really wanted to explore every angle of this tune—and honestly, it works. Two remixes stood out to me for totally different reasons.
First up, the Trance Division Remix of “Wings Of Freedom.” This version is straight fire. It kicks off with this lush, atmospheric build-up that just pulls you in. Then—BAM—the drop hits, and suddenly you’re floating. The energy is insane, perfect for losing yourself on a dancefloor or even just zoning out with headphones on. I remember this track because it feels like it was tailor-made for those moments when life gets overwhelming, and you just need to escape. It’s not overly complicated, but man, does it hit the spot.
Then there’s the Digital Psychosis Remix, which takes things in a darker, grittier direction. It’s got this edgy, almost hypnotic vibe that sneaks up on you. What sticks with me here is how the melody twists and turns—it’s like it’s telling a story without words. You can tell Digital Psychosis put their own stamp on it, making it stand out from the other versions. It’s the kind of track that makes you go, “Wait, is this still the same song?” But weirdly, it works.
Now, I gotta admit, having so many remixes of the same track could’ve been overkill, but somehow 4 Seas pulled it off. Each version adds its own flavor, keeping things fresh. And while the album doesn’t stray too far from the core sound, it’s cohesive without being boring.
Here’s the unexpected part though: listening to this album made me realize how much trance music feels like flying. Like, literally. The builds, the drops, the way the melodies soar—it’s like your brain grows wings for a bit. Maybe that’s why they called it Wings Of Freedom. Or maybe they just really liked birds. Either way, it’s a solid listen if you’re into trance or just need something to lift your mood.
So yeah, give it a shot. Who knows? You might just find yourself lost in the clouds too.
