Paul Van Dyk - Volume (The Best Of)

Was hoping for a greatest hits collection without the non stop pounding mix version where the songs are blended together.. don't listen to it anymore

This is a wonderful retrospect of avant garde Pual van Dyk. For people who really enjoy electronica before its commerciallization this is a great addition to your collection.

Paul van dyk is a LEGEND

Enjoy his albums.

.....lots of old stuff but great for a long session.

Takes you away, way away!!!

This album is an obvious buy. Global, in my opinion, has the best collection of his songs, and the bonus DVD is such a pleasure to watch again and again and again, but if you're a PvD fan, or if you like some of his songs, I would recommend this album because you won't be disappointed. My favorite track across all genres is Forbidden Fruit and it is included here along with other PvD greats such as New York City, We're Alive, A Magical Moment, Nothing But You, and Another Way. There's also a rework of For An Angel which I've heard live at his shows over the years so it's great to own a copy, and Home is just perfect. I'm not a big fan of the remixes he included in the version I purchased, but Still Alive is great - classic PvD stlye, and Gimme More is such a banging track (the best of all the remixes for that song). Plus, there are the trance anthem remixes such as 1998 and Love Stimulation. My only issue is that the version for which this review is written is NOT the version I own. I got the black cover/silver writing, two-disc release which to me is a rip-off. The one remix I was really excited to hear in its entirety was Moving to New York and was disappointed to find it absent from my copy, but here it is, in the import version. I don't think it's fair, but that's usually the way PvD releases his products. A new version every few months, each with something more being offered, and I have always been the one idiot who goes out and buys them all! I currently have three copies of his In Between album for that very same reason.In the end I don't regret it because no EDM artist has the power to hit those notes that move me - the way you want trance to - like Paul van Dyk. So I'll wait and see if this version gets released in North America, if not I'll buy an import, and I anticipate a DVD package akin to Global in the future - I'll be buying that too.

Just received this cd in the mail yesterday. I own every cd Paul has released and am an avid fan. That being said, looking over the tracklist it doesn't seem that appealing because I already have almost track on it and heard them millions of times. There a few previously unreleased tracks on here that I am excited about - Paul's remix of Timo Maas - Pictures to name one!The packaging on the set is pure class. I love the silver embossed print on the black background. I thought the booklet inside was put together well too. I am proud to own this set.Only on disc 1 right now, but I love it. It flows really well and when the next track comes in, all of these memories associated with it come flooding back.If you're a fan of Paul van Dyk, this set is a must have. It will bring back so many memories, and hopefully inspire you to create new ones.I am anxiously looking forward to the next PvD gig and future productions.

モーニングトラック２（bｙyoda)で、4. B.T. - Flaming June (BT And PVD Original Mix)を聞いて以来 10年くらい前からトランスにはまっています。 録音が良くなっていて、いま聞いても最高だと思います。6. The Thrillseekers \x{2013} Synaesthesia (Paul van Dyk Dub Mix)7. Members Of Mayday \x{2013} 10 in 01 (Paul van Dyk Mix)8. Deep Dish - Say Hello (Paul van Dyk Mixだけ聞いてもこのアルバムを聴く価値十分です。とにかくアレンジと録音が良くなっていて、音がいいですね。後の曲もらしさが出ていて素晴らしいと思います。Out There And Back 以来、聴いていなっかたのですが、やはりすごいです。むかしのＣＤを聴き返しながら、最近トランスを大人買いして聞いていますが、聴きこむほど良くなってきます。トランス大好き人間は聴かずば損請け合い。

２０年ほど前に気に入っていた曲（FOR AN ANGEL)が聴けた。この人だったとは、覚えてなかったので大変驚いた。この頃から今まで最前線で活躍していたとはすごい。

オリジナル曲のMIXより、ニュー・オーダーやディペッシュRemixは、最高にカッコ良い（CD2）満点をつけたい3枚組アルバム。

昔っぽさはあるけれど、とてもカッコイイので泣きそうになります。3枚入りで、まだ2枚目が聞けていません。このジャンルを本当に好きな人にもオススメ出来ます！！！

This is the very best of superstar DJ Paul Van Dyk - presenting a triple album, featuring 40 tracks. This collection of trance and electronic music draws on both Van Dyk's studio albums and singles, ranging from his "45 RPM" (1994) through to his "In Between" (2007). There are some stunning remixes, and Van Dyk demonstrates his talent at working with - and enhancing - the songs of other artists.This is an amazing set at a reasonable price. If you were into club music during the 1990's and 2000's, you'll probably love this album. I highly recommend it.
