Has PVD been MIA?

Is it just me or does it seem like PVD hasn't really been releasing much material the last couple months? After out there and back, which was filled with a bunch of dated sounding tracks (I heard it was because of some complications with his record label), i haven't really heard much material from this man, which is really sad since i get really excited when i'm about to listen to one of his new productions/remixes. He had remixes of born slippy and almost learn to respect ur mother....but i was not really feeling these tunes. Well, Born Slippy was quality but didn't meet the PVD standards i've come to expect...(cream, flaming june, synaesthisia, 1998) So anyways, do you guys think PVD is falling off? Maybe he is in the lab workin on a new LP? All i know is....We Are Alive was the cheesiest single i've ever heard from him, i was shocked when i heard it and i'm still waiting for him to make up for that disaster. I cringe everytime i hear him mix it into a set...which seems to be always since it's his lead single off his album. Are there any quality remixes of this track that i don't know about and more importantly any quality new productions remixes from mr van dyk?

You'd better check his official homepage - he has already made some remixes this spring.

Paul Van Dyk is going to release a mix album, very soon. They say Fall 2001. Paul van dyk is always working anyways, he is never MIA.

good lookin out....

yah, just checked pvd's website, seems i have missed some of his remixes. Also, i saw a 4-06-01 set at casino berlin, it looks off the heezy, do u guyz know where i can find this bad boy? Also, u guyz agree with me that We Are Alive is shite correct?

Posted by Twilogoddess on May-24-2001 19:15:

The breathless mix isn't bad.

Tell Me Why & We are Alive are his worst productions. Utter cheese that has gotten extremely commerical...he should be embarassed to have his name on it.

Posted by DruDown on May-24-2001 20:12:

actually, i liked tell me why...it was quite commercial but still maintained and elegant and sweet sound. Also, i liked the vocals...I guess i thought it maintained a good balance to appeal to both trance/commercial crowds leaning more towards commercial though...but Alive is just horrible, sounds like cheesy europop or something and that woman's voice in the song is horrible.....

Tell Me Why (Vandit Mix) kicks ARSES...

and specially mixed with Columbia before it

Posted by patticus on May-25-2001 22:29:

i agree with starfox.
all 3 versions on the vinyl are great.
the only thing that's cheese of his is we are alive, i couldnt believe PVD produced that. maybe he didnt (conspiracy theory?)

lol!!
hehehe

members of mayday / jam spoon

i just heard the PVD remixes of members of mayday 10in1 and the new jam & spoon after hearing about them in this post. Is it just me or are the remixes anything BUT quality? Especially 10in1, it reeks of cheeze.....

Posted by patticus on May-25-2001 23:28:

members of mayday is cheese
but im starting to like it.
haha

Posted by Twilogoddess on May-25-2001 23:45:

cheese? the breakz are HOT!

Posted by patticus on May-26-2001 00:02:

judge jules = cheese

pvd i dunno why he played it, just cuz it was his mix i guess

Posted by arturob on May-26-2001 00:59:

da hell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hheheehe. PvD has 3 remixes of this song!!
hehehe.. and about Be.Angeled. PvD Club Mix is fucking classss
also vandit mix

Posted by DruDown on May-26-2001 02:42:

10 in 1 has the club/members only/short mix correct? Members only was decent, nice and hard, but I found the melody for the other 2 mixes, which will undoubtedly be more popular, to be extremely cheesy.

As for angeled, the meldoy is decent but i guess i just don't like the deep male boogieman vocals . I favor the vandit mix with less stress on vocals and it's a lot harder. I find that the club mix doesn't really develop enough....

Posted by arturob on May-26-2001 03:40:

thats critiquism... nice done

Posted by TraNceFaN on May-26-2001 03:59:

I got different opinion about both PvD's remixes (Be angeled or Members of Mayday)
I love'em both.

get on icq man

Posted by DruDown on May-27-2001 00:09:

maybe it is just my preference in music that is changing? I find that i am starting to move more towards progessive sounds like sasha, digweed, seaman, etc....

the scene is becoming a lot more progressive than it's ever been. that may be why.

Posted by DruDown on May-27-2001 00:12:

but regardless of whether i like his current remixes or not, PVD will always get his props because his past remixes were so mindblowing. 1999 PVD remix is my personal all time fav and cream/flaming june are not far from the top of my list.

Posted by DruDown on May-27-2001 00:13:

yes, it's true that the scene is becoming very progressive but i think that many uplifting/melodic productions are becoming more commercial/cheesier than ever at the same time....

hmm...that or the choonz lack the emotion that was once there for the older ones. i mean, the the majority of the uplifting sound today is a lot more repetitive and lacks 'feeling'. the older stuff had much more appeal, a lot more fun to listen to.
