Paul Van Dyk - Global (DVD-CD Combo)
November 17, 2008
A combination CD-DVD set, Global acts as a handy greatest-hits collection of Paul Van Dyk’s wildly popular brand of shiny trance, featuring two previously unreleased tracks along with a mix of his best-known work. While he’s justifiably famous as a DJ, it’s really Van Dyk’s production, filled with shimmering electronics and relentlessly upbeat rhythms, that sets his recorded work apart from the pack. His knack for catchy hooks turns songs like “Another Way” from 2000’s Out There and Back into swirling epics designed for jolting the dance floor into glowstick overdrive. Of the record’s two previously unreleased tracks, “Animacion” sounds more like Van Dyk’s recent work. The other, “My World,” with its speedy, early-trance-house feel, may have sat in the back of Van Dyk’s record crate for years. The DVD includes live footage, interview snippets, fan testimonials, and a 5.1 surround-sound mix. –Matthew Cooke
Customer Review: Great introduction to trance for the newbie…
Gosh, I’ve played this CD to folks who have never heard trance much less ever heard of PVD and they’ve loved it. One example was my old school boss who heard it when I gave him a lift one day. He found it upbeat, cheerful and relaxing all at the same time. He asked me the cd info and got his own copy. He later shared that he had played it for his wife who was equally pleased. Even if you’re familiar with PVD and this type of music I think you’ll find that you won’t get tired of hearing this cd and watching the enclosed DVD over and over. Its a solid example of trance music and PVD’s work.
Customer Review: Global DVD
This DVD will no matter what be loved by PVD fans, it is is comprised of some of his lighter trance. I enjoyed the music a lot. However I honestly couldnt make it through 10 minutes of watching it becuase it is just clips from his parties across the world. I ended up cranking it up and just cleaning my house. Overall a good dvd to listen to for studying or background, but hard to watch it. I still reccomend it. I am a huge PVD fan. Buy from here…
