Best PvD Track

I'd like to ask which track you believe is the best ever produced by PvD. Along with his best track you could also say which you think is his best remix of a track I'm just asking cause someone I know who doesn't have a single clue about what trance is asked me to send him some PvD choons cause he is wondering who is this PvD is and why is he so great. So a first good ipression about trance would be nice

Well, PVD has such a wide array of tracks, some being not so stellar as others, that it would be wise to make a proper selection.

I'm unfamiliar with some of PVD's earliest offerings, which are very much touted as being some of his best work, so I can't help you there. But I'm sure someone more experienced with PVD's early days can help you out.

As for PVD's "best track" I would say definitely go for For An Angel (IMHO). Personally I like PVD's E-werk Club Mix the most, for it retains the charm of the original as well as injecting some energy to make it dancefloor-friendly.

Some other PVD tracks that I think would make a good choice include Another Way, Tell Me Why, Out There and Back and others.

As for remixes, two really stand out for me:

Romanthony - Never Fuck (PVD's Late Night Remix), and
The Space Brothers - Everywhere I Go (PVD Remix)

I really think these two hit the spot. Some people don't like the Romanthony track, though, so I guess it's a hit-or-miss matter based on your personal tastes.

On top of that I would suggest that you go out and get some of his albums. Two noteworthy ones are Out There And Back (also the name of one of his tracks) as well as the Politics of Dancing 2-CD set.

Especially the latter - I *definitely* believe this would be a great introduction to PVD in general. This is because PVD isn't only about the tracks he produces, but ALSO about the music he plays. It would do your friend good if he heard not only some of PVD's own music, but also PVD at work spinning one of his awesome sets. In that regard you might want to download some of PVD's live sets as well. The cheering and enthusiasm of the crowd will impress your friend I think. You have a decent selection here on TA itself. I recommend the Mayday 2000 or Live @ Home 2000 live sets (especially the latter).

Hope that helps!

Alccode, that was a nice speach I'll follow some of your tips, and I would definately agree that the romanthony remix is an awesome tune but some people just don't appreciate it. Thanx a ton

Paul van Dyk - For an Angel!

Posted by DJ A.i on Jun-04-2002 17:05:

IMO PVD's best tracks ever: FOR AN ANGEL and forbidden fruit.
and i also enjoyed his remix of the thrillseekers... forgot the name of that song though.. hmmmm.

Posted by YuVaL on Jun-04-2002 17:10:

Paul Van Dyk - We're Alive (Breathless Mix)

Without a doubt, PvD ~ For an Angel

Posted by JohnSmith on Jun-06-2002 02:06:

Seems For an Angel is the consensus.

truly, an awesome tune.

i think i like We're Alive even better though, the original mixes of both.

I have never heard this romanthony never fuck remix everyone keeps telling me to get it, but i haven't bothered yet.

I have the PVD mix of U2 - elevation, it kicks some serious ass too.

but all in all, the first reply to this thread was the best one.

pvd - the love from above

i prefer it to for an angel actually...

blank & jones - cream (pvd mix) is an awesome tune too

Face To Face (Piano Mix)
Out There and Back

Posted by drinkyourmilk on Jun-06-2002 19:55:

Also, a great chillout track.. Ejeculoutro.. Full of emotion

Posted by DJ Darchinova on Jun-07-2002 12:51:

The original mix of We Are Aline is a lot better than the breathless.. it is more danceable
the breathlesss is kind of slow

Posted by Club Attack on Jun-07-2002 19:27:

Apart from the obvious *masterpiece* For an Angel, I'd probably have to say Forbidden Fruit (the version on Seven Ways) because it is amazing!

PVDs new tune (don't know the name yet) could be a contender though, its a pretty moving piece of work...

Tell Me Why(Vandit Mix)

Posted by Jfusion on Jun-09-2002 06:54:

I'm Comin' (To Take You Away)

For An Angel
Another Way
Columbia
Movement

with BT, Namistai and Flaming June are classics as well

And his best remix ever? Underworld - Born Slippy (Paul Van Dyk Remix)

WTF?!

For An Angel...

Posted by UltimaGT on Jun-11-2002 04:57:

we're alive, definetly quality shit, gets me pumped every damn time, especially when females start singing the chorus and hit JUST the right pitch... ahhh it's godly

Posted by IronDragon on Jun-11-2002 19:06:

Nothing he's produced really impressed me but if I were pressed for a favorite track I'd have to go with 'We Are Alive'.

I do enjoy his remixes though, especially the remix of Members of Mayday-'10 in 01'
