Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited edition version of the producer/DJ's 2000 album packaged in a slimline double jewel case housed in a slipcase. Includes a bonus disc featuring 'Santos', 'All I Need', 'Namistai', 'Another Way' (Original), 'Tell Me Why' (Vandit Mix Re-Edit, Club Mix), 'Face To Face' (Piano Mix), 'Together We Will Conquer' (Short Mix) and CD-ROM videos for 'Another Way' and his collaboration with Saint Etienne, 'Tell Me Why (The Riddle)'. Amazon.com: Paul van Dyk spent most of the '90s perfecting a strain of credible, melodic Eurotrance that connected with clubbers all over the globe. Having honed his style and established a trademark sound, the East German DJ brings it all together on this, an album the overzealous are calling the first great dance record of the century. It begins in fine fashion with the cool breakbeat shimmer of 'Vegas,' swiftly followed by 'Pikes,' a valve-pumping Ibizan knees-up that's a tribute to the island's fabled hotel. So far, so good--this is topnotch progressive house that's guaranteed to make them move. However, if you're expecting more of the same, beware, because from here on in it's out with the Glo-Sticks and on with the face paint as a succession of clichéd trance anthems rudely gatecrash the party. From the lunar-landings vibe of 'Avenue' through to the sweet pop lilt of 'Face to Face,' hypnotic riffs, sanguine chords, and hollow metronome beats take center stage. Van Dyk's no ATB, but ultimately this is just as one-dimensional. --Paul Tierney Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Absolute genius!!!I've seen Paul Van Dyk in person and let me tell you he does NOT disappoint and neither does this cd! Track 11 is a definite favorite! If I close my eyes and hold the headphones close to my ears it's as if I am back at Nation all over again! AWESOME! Rating: - Geat AlbumPaul Van Dyk is one of the worlds greatest DJ's. i have yet to listen to an album by him that i did not enjoy. Rating: - One of the best trance albums out thereHere PVD defines directions, becomes uncompromising and original. On this disc he defines himself musically but sadly, he doesn't follow this path on his later releases. Its one of those albums you either love it or cant stand it. First Politics Of Dancing is quite good, but his later work smells like trade off's between PVD and cheap blonde whining trance born in the whore houses of Amsterdam....Im still Out There, R U?! Rating: - ZRODNi didnt even buy this cd just heard snips of it at random and it sounded good this is an old cd and still cutting edge thats why paul is number 1 right now. some of the other masters i.e. sasha, armin van buuren, tiesto, started with proper music format and then just jumped to a whole new mature so called sound. i mean is it a mid life crisis i dont know but if you spin new music format in front of me you better be ready for my criticism because it aint gonna be good. if the beats are off, sound ...

First of all, Van Dyk unlike everybody else in this genre, is not just a mixer, he is also a composer (I know Van Buuren and Tiesto have written their own stuff, but it is, shall we say, less than impressive stuff). Van Dyk's material is first rate (check out "Spellbound" on his later Reflections CD for another superb example of his composing ability). Second of all, this ... Read More |
