ok, just heard the tpod 2...dangerously disappointed... intro was nothing as good as ashtrax digital reason..i mean come on, that track was just boom, in ur face...the rest of the tracks...quite a bore...except for a few, and pvd didnt edit those tracks as good as he coudl have... tpod 1 is still my favorite compilation cd... seems like pvd cant even out do himself these days

Just got White Label Republic through the post.

Now people would expect PvD's TPOD to be better than John 00 Flemings WLR, but its funny to see just how much better WLR is.

Truth be told, WLR makes PvD look like an amateur. TPOD is absolute rubbish in comparison.

Really, PVD should take a listen to WLR and take some pointers.

looks like pvd is looking for some votes before the dj mag poll

totally agree. WLR is so much better than TPOD2.
How could PVD choose such a horrible track selection.

Now all you dissapointed guys forget TPOD2 and spend your money on WLR!

hahaha

i like TPOD1 but it annoyed me a bit that so many songs were "re-edits" so it started to sound the same. i haven't really followed pvd much for a while but i'll give it a listen if i see it, see what its like. but yeah get WLR instead anyway lol

ehhhh whats worse is that i think paul van dyk's mixmag compilation was even better than tpod2

i wonder why people bother buying this album.... most of the tracks are so known already, why buy an album with tracks that have been played in so many shows already. I wonder why he doesnt put unreleased tracks on it.

cause we are part of the minority, most people dont know or dont care about tracklists or dont keep up with the latest sets

people who don't post in forums like this and who don't download any livesets will enjoy this cd and the tracks on it are not overplayed or "old".

only freaks like us think the tracks are old and overplayed, because we read all the tracklists and listen to all the livesets...

Just listened to a (free) PvD podcast on iTunes, and he describes the motives behind the albuma and various singles and TPOD. It was all very interesting and a good insight and I think it's going to change how I listen to this album when it comes out.

yup, heard it now as well, not very carefully but i noticed some very pretty mixes on it, most tracks are ofcourse few months old, but it's great to hear them in another way like on this cd.

Posted by wwu.punisher on Sep-11-2005 20:05:

The mixing itself is solid... but the track selection is lost on me. I just can't dig this one at all. Not sure why.

Posted by Tikky on Sep-12-2005 00:01:

After listening ISOS 4,ASOT 2005, TPOD2, i miss the years of trance 99-00. Searching... Where is real Armin,Tiesto,Paul? Where is real trance?

TPOD2: Not all tracks selections & orders are good. But mixing quality is fine.Dont compare Tiesto with Paul, because Paul is one of real grandfathers of trance.

love it!

Posted by Feador on Sep-12-2005 09:47:

i think its a pretty solid cd, people say that some of the tracks are old, i agree but there are many trance fans out there who dont follow the trance scene so often and to them the tracks may even sound new, must every trance compilation be filled with all extremely new tracks

Posted by Glaniskanis on Sep-12-2005 11:27:

lol
why does everyone now say..
"yeah its true tracks are old but most ppl never heard of the tracks anyway"
when ISOS4 came out it was the same people that said
"lol so much old stuff... wait till TPOD2 is released"

horrible!
even the mixing on this one aint good enough to save the album

do you mind giving me an example of where the mixing on TPOD 2 is not good enough?

Posted by zoric on Sep-12-2005 14:03:

Some awesome tunes indeed, But many bad too..

..nothing special.

Posted by NeilD on Sep-12-2005 15:31:

don't know how u can u say the mixing is bad, the mixing is perfect, but that's because it wont have been mixed "live"

TPOD 2 Samples

Well the TPOD2 tracklist and samples have just been posted on the Paul van Dyk website (they've been up elsewhere for almost 2 months)..

There are short 15-20 sec. samples here:

http://www.paulvandyk.de/share/micro/pod2/

...along with the PVD 'official' finalized tracklisting, which doesn't really look different from anything I've seen,

For full-length RealAudio 192k samples, try this site:

http://www.nettwerk.com/cd.jsp?cd=4091

'The Other Side' music video is also there, check that out!

You all probably knew about all this, but hope this helps anyways!
Enjoy!

the mixing in the whole cd is crap, + the bpm is way to high

He's been doing this the past few years in all of his sets I think in an attempt to give them his own sound; but I agree, lots of times I listen to his stuff I feel like he just needs to slow it down a couple of bpms.
