Its a little known fact ( to all but my closest clubbing friends ) that I invariably succumb to temporal insanity whenever fed any music by Paul Van Dyk. Its like flipping on a switch inside me. His Politics of Dancing II Tour at Ageha in 2006 was one of best gigs I ever went to, so its utterly saddening that I had to miss his In Between Tour earlier in June this year due to work commitments.
I have only the album release on the 14th this month to salve my pain, but for my Singaporean friends, PVD will be spinning at Zouk on the 1st of September, you lucky chaps. You won’t be needing any booze; PVD’s music alone is intoxicating enough.

Hmm, I haven’t listened to trance for the past few years but PVD’s For An Angel on my Trance Nation 1 CD2 still brings back good memories.
Anyway, if you’re more into the uplifting trance genre, maybe you should check out Ronski Speed. I remember he was quite good back then 🙂

Hello Roys, For An Angel has got to be PVD’s magnum opus, its a routine for him to spin it as the last track for most of his gigs. The crowd goes crazy everytime. I’ve not heard of Ronski Speed before, but I’ll be sure to check it out, thanks for the recommendation ! :]

I like PVD “Time of our Lives” there were a couple of others but I can’t remember. Never heard “For An Angel” will check it out. listened to him couple of years back. Not been listening to much trance lately I might load up some of his music again.

“Time of our lives” would be from his Reflections album alright. It was the last gig I attended in Singapore ( at St James Powerstation ) before I came to Japan I think. I recommend “Politics of Dancing” too. :]

Heh, I still listen to Politics of Dancing once in a while 🙂
I personally prefer Disc Two for the more consistent quality of the tracks in it. First half of Disc One is very good but the other half doesn’t match up to it IMHO.
