Editorial Review: Album Description: With several releases under his belt of his own original tunes, Paul Van Dyk, puts together a killer mix CD including tracks from Joker Jam, Iio, Timo Maas, Way Out West, Blank & Jones, David Forbes, Sipping Soma and more. Ministry Of Sound. Slipcase. 2002. Amazon.com: Considering his uber-DJ status, it comes as something of a surprise to learn that The Politics Of Dancing (and, presumably, feeling good) is the first-ever mixed outing from one of dance music's most reluctant figureheads. Having said in the past that he didn't think he could bring the atmosphere of a club to a compilation, it has taken the full weight of the ubiquitous Ministry to persuade the legendary Berliners to their turntables for a steroid-pumped two hours of music. Despite his aversion to the term, rippling Eurotrance is the order of the day here, with Van Dyk stamping his authority by way of no less than 11 of his own tracks or remixes scattered across two seamlessly mixed compact discs, the tracklisting for which has also been dissected and rebuilt in the studio into what amounts to a series of exclusive versions. Message understood? --Kingsley Marshall Average Rating:
 Rating:  - There is Irony With The Album's TitleI bought this album the week it was released. I should have went with my initial reaction of awe regarding the sheer number of tracks that were on each disc (always a bad sign that your in for anthem mania), but a was still a novice electronica shopper then! It still obviously sold enough copies to please the powers to be as there is a second album under the same title. Always a market for everything. Two discs full of tacky athems and re-mixes that I still have not figured ... Read More Rating:  - Four-On-The-Floor FilibustersGerman DJ Paul Van Dyk grew up smuggling forbidden Western music into his ears from beyond the stones of the Berlin Wall. Plucking the musical currents freely from the air of oppression, Paul Van Dyk slowly developed an affinity for trance electronics, the mind massage of musics. His career started when he was 20, and sixteen years and multiple albums/awards later, he's still going strong, one of the top Trance DJs still performing today. So, you can understand why I'm so bewildered by the ... Read More Rating:  - Trance has never hit higher high'sI am a Van Dyk fan by nature, so consider my review biased. But it is biased for a reason. his Cd's are incredible. There has never been anything like them. The Politics of Dancing 1 is no exception. It is an absolute must have for anyone who calls themselves a trance music fan. Buy this Cd, and in a few weeks you'll be at your computer writing a review just like this one here and the other hundred or so already out there. Rating:  - Probably wondering if it lives up to its hype aren't you?To be fair, this is in fact Paul Van Dyk's first attempt to mix a cd and it is a tragedy that it took him so ling to try it out. This album is a tsetament that the art of mixing; that is track selection, timing, synth key and pad matching, sound proofing for seemless transistions ans what have you is not something you learn overnight. It took Sasha almost twenty years but when he arrived, the world was stunned. Even the reviewers at rolingstone who hardly ever criticize trance albums had to give Sasha the ... Read More Rating: - Amazing music. A must buy!!!I love this CD. It has a great blend of grooves that actually helps me feel at peace. Paul Van Dyk is a music genius, I look foward to buying POD vol 2.
