[REVIEW] PVD In Between
pvd new artist album is fucking awesome! classic pvd with some really great bangin emotional tracks. also some great remix material, i can't wait for some of these tracks to get remixed. this cd succeeds where tiesto's elements of life failed. several tracks really stand out on this cd:
3.sabotage
4.complicated f ashley tomberlin
5.get back f ashley tomberlin (awesome hard hitting beat in this one, with some really melodic breakdowns-this track almost falls into complete silence in some places and then builds back up again and starts pounding it)
6.far away (pvd and giuseppe ottaviani? need i say more?)
7.another sunday (BEST TRACK ON THIS CD! he's been playing this track at his shows since last year, and i've been trying to figure out what it was for so long! he sampled the vocal from hammer and funabashi's "she blows my mind" but this track is 100x better! absolutely amazing!)
9.in circles (pvd really knows how to play the piano. nuff said, amazing piano track)
10.in between (short track but feels like a classic)
12.detourment (combined with a hard hitting beat this track has some really nice violins towards the end)
13.new york city f ashely tomberlin (this is an intense track with a somewhat dramatic effect and lots of energy and some nice buildups)
14.la dolce vita (sounds like a classic pvd track ala "for an angel")
15.let go f rea (nice soothing breakbeat track)
i don't usually like vocal trance, but pvd really knows how to pull it off in most tracks. there are also a few tracks on this cd which sound a little bit like rock and roll mixed with trance, and most of the male vocals on this cd kinda suck. not really my style, but overall this cd is HOT, a lot of tracks which are bound to become pvd classics.
Castaway. I melt.
This album further reinforces how sad modern trance has become. PVD has finally succeeded in crossing the Oakey/Tiesto threshold and selling out every good production technique that founded his Out There and Back, signature style. There's nothing on this record that presents any sort of thoughtful idea, or instills any sense of inspiration or optimism that perhaps, someone of this reputation might attempt to cling to even an ounce of old school charm, wisdom, or heart.
So I say to you PVD: You've finally shown the world that the young, idealistic East German visionary that worked so hard to bring quality dance music to the world has finally sold his soul to the major label money machine.
Trance's chosen Son is now nothing more than a Sheep, whom even his own shadow should shun in shame.

hmmmm,
Sounds like I'LL HAVE TO review it 
White Lies was actually OK to a degree, much better than any of those ashley tomberlin tracks. she sings well but whatever lyrics she's singing sound like a song for 16 years old girls.

I'll review it for everyone, when I hear it...will prob hate it, as I hate 99% of artist albums because 99% of them are half sell-out-ish, lol.
Anyhow, I still do enjoy most of PvD's edits, even though his sets the last two years have been stagnent. Just remember how last time I saw him live (last time he was here in SF), 1/3 - 1/2 of his set was the same tracks as it was a year or two ago. Totally was going through the phase Ferry went through years ago, where he play basically the same tracks every set (self-productions not included, as you kinda expect the DJs to play that) for 2 - 2 1/2 years. Guh, a period where I started to really dislike Ferry.
Thankfully he has saved himself from all that mainly. And, I'll be honest, going by a lot of reviews over the last few months of PvD's live sets, PvD has saved himself too.
Still wonder every day why PvD is so happy and joyful and constantly dancing behind the decks these days instead of his dreadful presence behind the decks he had most of the time just a few years ago, hehe.

| Originally posted by bucke which other tracks besides "far away" did he produce with giusseppe ottaviani? another sunday is the best track on the cd imo, a classic in my book. wasn't there supposed to be a track called the "big bang" on this cd? i heard it in one of his mixes and it was awesome, i though he would put it on this cd..... |

ANOTHER SUNDAY is the best track on the album, can't get enough of it!!
I pretty much agree with your whole review Bucke, except I didn't really like the New York City song. Also enjoy the Talk In Grey song.
Good album indeed though, hopefully he's playing some of these at Nocturnal
