as I have noticed most posters here hate the cd, but why? why is everyone comparing TPOD1 with part 2? times have changed, so there is no reason why you should compare both CDs.
compare TPOD2 with in search of sunrise iv, a state of trance 2005 or other mix-cds released this/last year. do it, and you will notice TPOD2 is at least as good as those cds, which I have mentioned. imo TPOD2 is even better, because of the mixing, mood, clubbing feeling, energy and it is uplifting.
I don't know what you have expected by PvD. this is a mix-cd, and not an artist album, so why do you complain about the tracklist? complain about the other artists, who produce these tracks.
everyone who doesn't like this cd at all, shouldn't post your comments here, because you don't complain about this cd, but about trance at all nowadays, and you would give such comments also to other cds.
people should stop complaining about todays trance, if they don't like it, fine, go and listen to TPOD1..

Here's the Podcast for those of you who don't have iTunes...

are u telling me that pvd couldnt have found different more unknown songs to put on tpod2? and plus, the whole purpose of the politics of dancing was that he didnt like the way mix cd's were being made, so in the first one he clearly edited each one to fit the mix perfectly...in tpod2 they say he edited most of the songs but i really dont hear the edit...the second one also doesnt have that flow that the first one did...its not as much about the songs, becdause i didnt mind the playlist...for me its about how i thought he was gonna put more effort into the compilation in itself

I can't understand how people can complain about mixing. this is definitely the best mixing, which I have ever heard on a mix-cd. why should he edit each track, if the mixing is already perfect. and I really don't think, the edits would turn the cd into a better one, sonner it will turn into bad.. when he edits a track, he simply put his baseline in it, thats all, you can her it in the song thompson and holden - nothing (pvd edit), where the baseline is a bit defferent to the original. all songs have already, whithout these edits, this typical pvd baseline, if he edits all tracks, it would be too much, to monotone..

oh no not another one who have the opinion "if you don't like this then don't post here". Stop with this bitching.
This is a democracy you know. They are both positive and negative about things.

And you say "don't blame PVD, blame the artists who made the tunes". That is the biggest bullshit I've heard in a long while. PVD is the DJ, he got the authority to choose from hundreds of tunes to put on this CD. And he chose some of the most played and dull tunes you can find. It's not impossible to make 2 cds with interesting and tunes which not every other dj have already whored.
Just look at J00F and his latest Whitlabel Republic. 2 Cds with tunes most of you guys never heard of.
That also shows how overrated PVD actually is.

ok, I know he can choose, but the selection is not really big! well, I think the playlist is overrated in this case.. sure, he could choose some more new tunes, but even if you have 30 unknown tunes, this doesn't mean, you have a done a good cd! pvd has really good mixing there and structure of the tunes. imo he creates very good build-ups, and then give the listeners a break.
and imo this republik cd is a bit overrated. its good, ok, but the mixing is not as good as by TPOD2, and there are some bad tracks, which don't fit into the mix. the reason, why many people haven't heard these tracks, is simply because the most people aren't into psy trance.. ok, I don't know, if someone, who is relly into psy, would recognize all tunes, but I can imagine, if you read reviews posted on a psy forum, you wouldn't get this positive coments, because they are used to it.. and now, look at TA, many users like the cd, because they haven't heard psy trance before, if they were used to it, they would look at it from another point of view..

pvd overrated.. lol ? the guy always play the best tunes on the scene, from house too hardtrance it doesn't matter.
Anyway i will definetly buy this album because many of these tunes are pvd reworks and no one can do better reworks then this man..
The Space Brothers - Everywhere I Go (PVD Rework) one of the best tunes ever made.
