I've long ago handed in my PvD fanclub card and stopped following his gigs or productions... "home" was a sad reminder of the greatness that once posessed the man - now it's all about wacky schtick. There are so many times one can hope for greatness and be let down.

PvD was brilliant when he did not jump from track to track without even getting to the build-up. Ableton has made him a gimmicky posterboy for how to alienate your older fanbase. Too A.D.D. for my taste.

I'm glad I didn't go this year - leaves some hope that I may see him again sometime, albeit a chance of that is slim... Oh well, John O'Callaghan has stepped up to the plate and looks to be a prime successor to fill PvD's spot - even his track sound PvD-ish...

I wish he just had 2 CDJs and a Mixer and went old school, but hey
I give they guy credit for doing things diff. Sound and drummers where already discussed and I agree. Just a good Party Vibe the entire night, so cant complain on my end...

I mean I really don't mind that he uses Ableton but at least mix the songs right and let the flow keep building instead of cutting each song so short. That is just my opinion.

....

the issue is that the set was artificial, no emotion,
no beauty, no magic, no edge, plenty of $ commercial
sound... unlike arc's even!ng in the fall of 2001
iny... pure of trancenergy... wowowow...
