5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Comprehensive Release, September 23, 2003

This review is from: Paul Van Dyk - Global (DVD-CD Combo) (DVD)

Comprehensive release from one of the most popular DJ/Composer/Performers in the world. Paul Van Dyk is a major reason why Trance has emerged as perhaps the world's most popular form of electronic music.

This release includes a DVD highlighting 13 Paul Van Dyk Compositions along with an audio CD of the same tracks. The video is primarily a travelogue showing footage from throughout the world which serves to showcase the worldwide appeal of Paul's music. There is also footage of Paul performing on stage although this is somewhat limited which is perhaps just as well since there is not as much of a visual aspect to a DJ performing live compared to a live band. The crowd shots do however show the excitement generated by Paul's music. The DVD also includes 5 complete, uncut Paul Van Dyk Videos along with a short 5 minute interview with Paul as well as a short documentary showing comments from his fans. The are also some clips advertising various movies that Paul has composed music for.

I would encourage any Paul Van Dyk fans to consider purchasing this as well as anyone interested in finding out more about his music or as introduction to Trance or Electronic music in general. Basically, for about the price of a CD you get the CD plus the DVD.

Here are the Track Listings:

1. We Are Alive
2. Seven Ways
3. Forbidden Fruit
4. Beautiful Place
5. Another Way
6. Tell Me Why
7. Step Right On
8. Words
9. Together We Will Conquer
10. A Magical Moment
11. For An Angel
12. Animacion
13. My World

Here are the Videos:

1. Another Way
2. For An Angel
3. Forbidden Fruit
4. Tell Me Why
5. We Are Alive

This review is from: Paul Van Dyk - Global (DVD-CD Combo) (DVD)

i cant believe the value for money with this, i paid around 18 and, got a full length cd and dvd of paul van dyk's greatest hits. i must confess i only heard a song or two....but when i saw all that this combo included and the price, i snatched it up. The music is as good as trance gets and there is also a 5.1 studio and live mixes of the cd. As a bonus, there is also a DTS track of the whole greatest hits...you havent heard trance till u hear it with surround DTS. Im loving this. The 5.1 mix is track by track at different locations around the world...its really global. Id highly recommend this to any dance/trance fan...or anyone who likes good music in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure PVD Baby, November 12, 2003

By 

Reticuli (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Paul Van Dyk - Global (DVD-CD Combo) (DVD)

You get a CD and a DVD of Van Dyk's best tracks, in Red Book CD, Dolby Digital 5.1, DD 2.0, and in a DTS 5.1 studio track with mindblowing low end. The movie is awsome. Gotta love those Japanese ravers...the most unconditionally excited and positive group you'll ever see. Then they even throw in the separate videos for those tracks that have them and an interview with PVD himself. Every other artist on the planet should follow this guy's example and give their fans releases like this, not the endless flood of EP's, remix samplers, and DVD singles that are obviously marketing ploys to lure collectors and obsessive fans (read that: potential stalkers). Global sets a standard.
