Editorial Reviews :
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
Buyer Reviews :
This latest release from the German Disc Jockey/Producer/Artist is basically re-worked versions of his past hits and some popular non-hits from his various cd's. The songs are typically electronic, with melodic synthesizers, hard beats and some nice female vocals thrown in for good measure. You've got hits such as 'We Are Alive', 'Seven Ways', 'Forbidden Fruit', 'Beautiful Place','Another Way','Tell Me Why','Words','For An Angel', as well as some popular other songs such as 'Together We Will Conquer', 'Animacion', 'Step Right On', etc. The entire cd is beat mixed flawlessly for those who like a smooth flow of songs. My gripes with this cd is that it's about 74 mins. long, why couldn't an extra song be mixed into his set to make it just under eighty minutes? I would have also preferred that the songs not be mixed non-stop such as in his 'Seven Ways' cd. The DVD that is included in this collection is okay, but basically shows the people of the different countries Van Dyk has frequented such as China, Japan, England, Germany, etc. You do have some scenes of the man himself spinning at various nightclubs throughout the world, but the whole DVD is rather boring for the most part. If you enjoy trance music of the likes of Paul Oakenfold, DJ Tiesto, Ferry Corsten or Armin Van Buuren you'll probably want to pick up this collection.
