hehe, that's an ableton trick dude, PVD has been doing that for a while now in all of his sets

I saw an ableton demostration where this guy put a james brown tune with a progressive bassline, then I think ableton automatically matches both songs

Gotcha! Interested to hear the track without the trickery then.

yup yup, he is keeping people wondering and that way no one can really rip it, they would be ripping something different from the original

Or he can't think of a decent bassline yet so he borrowed someone else's until he gets a good one

i just think the bassline isn't finished yet and he uses that one instead, i remember him doing it with the other side too.

yeah,,,and he did the same with his remix of "say hello", I remember that his release was kind of different from the version he was playing on his sets

I just listened to that the other day. Still rocks. iirc Connected was the last tune of his I liked.

I feel the same as many of you regarding PvD peaking with Out There And Back, however I have to say that Reflections contained some great (albeit different) songs too like Crush, Time Of Our Lives and Nothing But You.
I also quite like Complicated, that melancholic hook is doing it for me.

He did go commercial very aggressively with Reflections (and got a Grammy nomination) but ya cant fault the man for trying to earn some cash. As long as he provides Club mixes/dubs...

Be happy that he is still around! So many artists die

I'm sure PvD isn't very low on cash...he's been highly paid for gigs for years now, it's not like he HAS to make a commercial album to put food on the table.

This pisses me off because there have been way too many producers in the past couple of years go in the commercial direction (Chicane, BT, Tiesto, PvD, Ferry Corsten). All used to make amazing productions that had a lot of meaning to them, everything they make now is just flat and boring (BT's new album could be a possible exception). Sadly now that they've started making music in this direction they'll never go back to their old style. The best you can expect nowadays is from up and coming, new artists.

Dont be so harsh. If there is one good song on the new album, thats alot better than I can say for any other trance album released since Reflections. (ouch now im being harsh)

I'm tending to hope that he still has some magic in him left and I'm willing to give him the benefit of doubt.

And let me rephrase that money statement. Its not only about money, its about success. Everybody wants to be loved and wanting to be loved by many (aka mainstream) is nothing bad per-se. There are people that manage the stretch and while its been a stretch so far, at least he knows the difference between a Radio Edit and the club mix. And frankly thats all I care about-- why not let him maximize his audience exposure. Let him be happy too if he keeps providing things that make us happy.
