The mix that got me into trance, still the best........2007-07-15

I don't know why there are so many bad reviews for this mix, this cd just proves why PVD remains number one dj in the world. Compared to all the other cd's and thousands of trance songs i have, Disc one really stands out as the best melodic trance mix of all time, even to today. "Closer" and "Someday" never get old (I thinks its actually better he took the chorus out of "Closer"), and this whole mix is very uplifting and energetic. Cd two could be better, its not very fluent, but the song selection is great in my opinion. The mixing could be a bit better overall, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it; some of the mixing is actually really catchy (The beginning of "Tangerine" and the last minute of "The Other Side" leading into "Second Day" is flawless). As PVD said, I think he did a good job picking the songs he felt were gonna be hits and mixing them around, even though they are two years old. If you like the samples that you can hear when looking at the album, you should buy this album regardless of what reviewers say (thats what i did, and its my favorite still). Really anyone who likes trance should get this.

Break Out Your Glowsticks and Lollypops.......2007-07-09

You think that the passing of four years would have a world-class DJ evolving? Even a little? Well, think again. The Politics of Dancing, Vol. 1 was released in 2001, and this second volume demonstrates no clear progression in Paul Van Dyk as a DJ. He still choses to feature as many short anthem tracks as possible on each disc with the ever present "bubblegum" trance overtones. Conjures up images of a time when it was cool to wave glowsticks around at a club or rave.

Paul Van Dyk is great spinning live, but the majority of his commercial compilations leave a lot to be desired.

Both discs get 2/5 stars.

Music to interpretive dance to.......2007-06-30

The only dancing this inspires me to do is dance over to my stereo to put in a different CD. I stopped listening to him after Out There and Back and I see that haven't missed much in the last several years. I admit there might be a couple of toe-tappers in here somewhere but I've lost my patience, you're better off buying something...I don't know, good, like Markus Schulz's Miami '06 or anything put out by Armin van Buuren in the last two years. Into the trash with you! Goodbye five dollars.

WARNING!! THIS IS PROGRESSIVE HOUSE!!!!!.......2007-03-10

THIS CD IS NOT TRANCE OR EVEN WHAT I CONSIDER QUALITY MUSIC TO BE, I'M TRYING TO BE NICE, BUT LET ME SPEAK- THIS CD IS AWFUL UNLESS YOU LIKE SLOW REPETITIOUS MUSIC, PERSONALLY I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO A MOUSE FART THAN HEAR THIS TRASH, I HAVE OVER FIFTEEN YEARS EXPERIENCE AND MY REVIEW IS THE ONLY ONE YOU NEED TO READ. order armin van burren state of trance 2006 if you want some spectacular music. that cd is an instrant classic.

Politics of dancing 2.......2007-03-05

5 star let me give you actual feel of this album. First definately PVD has evolved this is one of his finest album and great work.
starting with disc 1. 10/10

1) String Theory - Alex Gold is 5 star song will touch you to your heart slow start, mild and melo.
2)Getting Away - Tranquility Base - is on a serious and mysterious note if you are listening to this song for first time you will be lost from second track only intense pain and mystery.
4)Transatlantic - Jose Zamora & Damian - electro treat
8. Why? - Lolo - is a great loop and will attack you again.
11. Closer Now - Filo & Peri - is beginning of power PVD is getting you prepared for trance attack.
12) The Unknown - White Water - the power and energy flows in this track.
13) Forbidden Love - Marc Van Linden - PVD patent beat
14) Someday - Whiteroom - after completion of 2:14 minutes of song is an intense trance attack you cannot escape all you can feel is light.
and album one flows till end.

Disc 2: 9/10

Disc to is starts with patent PVD beat his unique style and till track 5 i.e superfly you are caught to you chair and you cannot even change volume cause you are actually hypnotised.
