Paul Van Dyk - Politics of Dancing 2, your views?

Excellent Album, the first few tracks are not bad, some good tracks

Alex Gold - String Theory
Purple Haze - Adrenalin
Lolo - Why

Overall another excellent compilation by PVD, keep it up

An embarrassment to the first volume.

Also, the last straw in giving his recent career the benefit of the doubt.

as in he's a bit lax on the putting in effort?

I dunno, a bit meh really...

there is absolutely nothing special about this compilation which makes it stand out. Just another one in the flood.

is was more like ASOT rather than TPOD

Pretty much dude.

am i the only one who though the first mix cd was not THAT good?

it's good for it's time. but I agree it's not a classic which some makes it to be. the good thing about TPOD1 are those "not so played to death tunes" which PvD included.

No, you're not the only one.

Very Poor effort.

Such a come down from TPOD1 which was outstanding, Disc 1 being excellent.

I thought someone had bumped a thread from 2005

Shit compilation.

Nothing wrong with talking about an old comp...

PVD hasnt put many mixes out, so if someone wants to bring this up, I see no reason to gripe about it.

Ironically I just put this on my speakers a few hours ago, and I thought the 1st cd was great in the 1st half, and definitley a little lacking in the second half.

It's the 2nd disc that KILLS ME! Especially with the awful mixing and placement of Marco V- More Than A Life Away

All in all though, I'm curious as to what people on this forum actually listen to trance wise thats 'good'

I dont wanna start a new thread gabbering about trance being shitty, but jesus there really hasnt been that much good shit to dig through in the genre especially this year, and I thought PVD did a pretty decent job of pulling out some of the bigger songs of that year (2005 or whenever)
soo yeah

hey i thought it was pretty decent, and the dude above me is right about some of the track placements...

i really like it

Good but doesn't compete with the first.

+1 definately. The first one was far better engineered.

PvD didn't used to do mix CDs, prefering to always mix live. He sort of broke the mould with TPOD1, apparently it took him many many months just to engineer those tracks.

TPOD2 clearly didn't have as much effort put into it.

Some releases are good.

So basically you're saying; Trance from the early 90's sucks.

its all a matter of opinion. i prefer trance and electronica from the late to early 90s and 80s.

onto politics of dancing 2. This was a huge letdown from the original imo

i love the quality of the songs. i hate the melody of the songs.

i still havn't really bothered to listen to it

my biggest problem with the album is it came out too late. after pvd has already bored me by overplaying all the tracks months in advance.
