Agreed.
Mikey, only long time followers of Paul will know this. He hasn't been on the top of his game. Let's just hope he's saving it all for TPOD2.
For you on the surface fans out there (like the guy started this post), PvD 2005 is compared to years past. It's the truth, but you don't know it because your scope of knowledge in his music is very thin. I recomend you look at sets from 1999 and 2002 to see what I mean. |
BINGO... 99 he was unreal 2003 he started fallin off |

Spot on. If I wanted to listen to a DJ bang out as weak sounding as Andy Moor / Markus Schulz etc. i'd go listen to Armin van Buuren. Nothing s me off more than a fan that thinks a DJ can do no wrong. There is a lot of good music out there. How some people can be so easily pleased is beyond my comprehension. |

Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that a lot of what he's playing is the same Markus / Armin garbage, and you can't deny that. |

yes, and i don`t see a problem with that. it 'is' garbage for you and maybe for others, but in the bottom line, paul loves these tracks and will play them as he gigs around......... :~ |

yea his sets have definately fallen off lately... i've seen him this year, last year in toronto... year before in godskitchen, birmingham and his sets definately used to be a lot better... lol every set ends or begins with time of our lives or nothing but u..buuuut hes still probably my fav all time dj. |
What makes PVD such a good dj is that he changes his style to suit the crowd and the occasion. When he plays locations that are prob not as upfront with the music he tends to play some older stuff, as he does if its a big event. But we seen him at Cream, Liverpool earlier this year and he was amazing and the only tracks he played that we knew were still new good tracks and none of the tracks that he has been playing for the last few years. Obviously he will always drop 1 or 2 old tracks in a set which in my opinion makes a good set. |

PVD is ALWAYS hit and miss as far as im concerned. When at his best he plays "PVD hard trance" totally bangs it out with big riffs and blistering beats. At big events when he plays like that few can argue how good he is. However from 2003 onwards those sets are few and far between. At the moment he is caught between floaty and tech-trance and all his sets seem 2 b very random changing styles way too often for any rhythm for the crowd he would b playing to.
I hope he brings back the banging stuf for Cream 10th bday party. |

| well productions have to do with it also, pvd has had some many great productions and his a great dj, top of my list imo, in the other hands tiesto has had great productions also, his been slippin these past few years but his still in that top 5 producers/djs in the trance scene, in other hands some people put armin after pvd for djin at the moment, that might be true, but i feel that armin isnt that much of a great producer, oh yeah and ferry is second for me at the moment. yeah well bottom line is i think productions play a big role in becomin famous and djin also, i mean u have great producers that arent djs and not that famous. thats my view, i might be wrong. |
