I agree with this - but only to an extent - I've been into this music for years BUT when POD 1 was released I was playing it nonstop for weeks - in fact - I still love POD 1 years later. The track selection was ace and the mixing/programming flowed!
POD 2 has a handful of great tracks but other than that it is just like any other mix CD. Worth a listen ...but that's about it. :( |

| Agreed. TPOD1 stuck out, it was a great 'PVD only' CD. TPOD2 could have been mixed by anyone. Its generic. |

| This CD could have been made by Armin Van Buuren. Actually it sounds as the second/third hour of his 6 hour DJ sets |

I picked up the TPOD1 CD quiet late (around 2003) 2 years after it was released. I was following PVD livesets for a while, and when I picked up TPOD1 I was really dissappointed. It was bland and tame. I sometimes wonder how it can be labled a "classic" when there are only 3-4 good tracks on there, with the rest just being fillers.
To this day I still regret purchasing TPOD1. I guess I was hoping for it to have as big an effect on me as GC-Discotech had on me back in 98, but damn, no CD will ever beat that.
As for my thoughts on TPOD2: very very nice. This is what TPOD1 should have sounded like. CD1 starts out with a chilly laid back intro, and by mid cd the tempo get's upped quiet a bit for some big tracks (tracks 11/12 which seem to be the highpoint of CD1), then slows down with the instrumental of Someday. Damn I wish this was the vocal remix. CD2: Very very nice aswell.
Final thoughts: The CD as a whole has a liveset feel to it (something that TPOD1 didn't have). The mixing is FLAWLESS. Trackselection could have been better (give us more anthems:whip: ).
Final thought: Without a doubt better then TPOD1. |

I'm not trying to be rude but I don't understand why people keep saying this? It's not like he grabbed a bunch of CDs and records, hit record and started mixing. It's a studio CD. Flawless mixing is about as expected as stereo sound. :) |

I was pointing out that fact to the 10 people on this thread that said the mixing was . |
