Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Amazing Comment: This 2-disc cd is probably one of the best dance cds you will buy in 2008 Paul van Dyk is a genius! To be honest, his mix of My House and South Beach was undeniably awesome other favourites are "I Retro", "Freakshow Disco no.2" and "No More alone" VERY GOOD CD you MUST buy it!!!!!! Customer Rating: Summary: PvD back to his best Comment: For me his best album will always be Vorsprung Dyk Technic just because I had never heard anything so banging and yet beautifully trancey and melodic at that time. Feeling that he had slightly gone off the boil recently and been surpassed by the likes of Armin and Above & Beyond, this album came as a pleasant surprise. Trance has moved on and so has PVD since the halcyon days of Vorsprung D Technic and Politics of Dancing 1&2 etc and this album has some great tracks. CD1 is more downtempo with some elctro and deeper, hypnotic and melodic tunes, but still great tracks, the influence of Dj/producers such as Deadmau5 and Kyau&Albert on trance can't be denied and is evident in the track selection. CD2 is full on trance, but just not the formulaic generic stuff that hits all the right buttons but somehow leaves you unsatisfied. Its deeper, more driving but still euphoric, and as always his mixing is absolutely outstanding. Dont believe the naysayers in earlier reveiws; I haven't bought a Cream mix for years but this is well worth it. If this is a selection of what was being played on Trance nights such as in Amnesia Ibiza recently, I wish I'd been there dancing till they dragged me out of the club! Customer Rating: Summary: Quality Comment: When I first listened to the CD I wasn't expecting much from the first couple of tracks but I was in for a shock when I managed to find the time to listen to every track.....brilliant!So so good, I can't stop listening to it. If you like Ibiza you'll love this! Customer Rating: Summary: PVD Lover?? - Worth a buy for CD2...not Cd1 Comment: OK, ask yourself why you want to buy this CD. If you want to buy this to try and capture an Ibiza feel, then yes, buy this and you will not be dissapointed. However I write this as a trance and PVD fan, and have therefore purchased this CD for that reason. So, first thing, throw CD1 away. This is not PVD. I know Ibiza is not all trance, but PVD is!! (although some of his latest CD have been wondering from this). This is not what PVD ever plays and so is not PVD, but a mix done for Cream. If I liked electro-house, then CD1 may be ok. But I dont. Now CD2. This is PVD back to what made him famous. More of a club fill and back to the realms of Politics of Dancing. If you are a trance fan, you will love this. Ok - no massive tunes, but this means you wont be listening to the same tracks played on other trance mixes. This is however, banging, and well worth a purchase for your collection. Customer Rating: Summary: Depends on your style Comment: I don't like giving less stars for an album when the only justification for doing so is personal taste. This album captures quite a large range of electronic music... from pure cut trance to quite housey stuff. Because I generally like one specific sector of electronic music more than others, I only enjoy the songs that fit into that genre - to give you a clue, I love Phoria - J Amnesia - G Ottaviani tracks on CD2 the most. Basically, whilst the whole lot could be classed as 'trance,' it is such a broad genre these days that like me, you may only like parts of this album. I think what may have been better is if PvD had cut down on the number of tracks. There are too many short songs of less than 2 minutes; some so short you can't tell whether you like them or not. I also don't like the use of combined tracks either, where one track is combined with an acapella vocal of another, for example. Again, I do recognise this is personal taste. But I do think we fail to understand the ultimate best 'Cream' tracks of the moment, because there are too many. 3 cd's could have worked better, at least the shortest songs could be longer and thus more complete then. I highly recommend this album for those of you who want the most up-to-date trance/electronic music around, and who want a pretty powerful party in your house. It is 160 minutes of a never ending club, for those who like the hidden depths of music. Plus, as usual, it is stunningly mixed by PvD, and despite my general dislike of this idea, only he could get away with mixing 2 songs into 1! If you like specific sections of electronic/trance music, maybe get something a little more focussed. More Reviews
