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.

The team of composer Jerry Bock and lyricist Sheldon Harnick came up with only six shows--but what shows! In addition to the phenomenally successful Fiddler on the Roof, aficionados usually gush about 1963's She Loves Me and 1959's Fiorello!. The latter turned a not particularly appetizing topic--the years leading to Fiorello LaGuardia's election as mayor of New York--into a great musical. (It even won the Pulitzer Prize for drama, only the third musical to do so.) Harnick and Bock's versatility was in evidence as they wrote numbers in every Broadway style: novelty, ballad (about sweatshops), duet (the absurdly catchy and funny "Marie's Law"), and, of course, a rousing number that doesn't really fit anywhere but is so good that it simply must be included (Eileen Rodgers's "Gentleman Jimmy"). This may be one of the wittiest, most melodic shows you've never heard. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews:

Fiorello.......2007-03-09

Great music. Only; I wish I had a DVD of the show.....

A sleeper of the first order.......2007-03-06

Fiorello is a very dark comedy about the corrupt back-room politics, croneyism, and skulduggery surrounding Fiorello laGuardia's political career. Oh, and there's a romance thrown in. "Politics and Poker" in particular has a timely poignancy in light of the runup to the 2008 elections with Clinton, Obama, and -um - whoever the heck else is on the Democrat wanna-be list. I have to think there are some pretty stark parallels here. But then, that's what this timeless, delightful sleeper of an operetta is all about.

A new York-centric non-hit .......2006-11-15

This never rose to the level of a 'hit'. At this time (2006) it is dated
technically and artisticly. It didn't win in '59, there is little hope that it will be remembered fondly in '06.
In the end I bought it for archival purposes only and I'm being kind.

Laguardia isn't just an airport.......2006-08-07

Fiorello! was basically a play about New York City's great mayor, Fiorello Laguardia, that was turned into a musical by having an overture and 14 songs. Long ago, back in the late 1950s, I saw it as a child and really liked it - I've always wondered what it would be like to hear it again. Well, it is nothing less than spectacular! It has the best song about politcal corruption (!) ever written, Little Tin Box; a great song about a broken date, Marie's Law; a lyrical paean to back-room politics, Politics and Poker; and 11 others, all equally good (in fact, there's not a single dud in the score - as you would expect since it was written by the writers who did Fiddler on the Roof). The voices are great, the lyrics are all to the point, the music is unforgettable, and, for all those who don't know the story, the disc notes are really helpful. Maybe this is politcs seen through rose-tinted glasses, but it's wonderful to hear!

a classic, underrated Broadway gem.......2003-11-04

FIORELLO! is a lovely, ahead-of-its-time musical, based on the career of New York mayor Fiorello La Guardia. It starred Tom Bosley as La Guardia with a dream cast including Ellen Hanley, Pat Stanley and Eileen Rodgers.

The score, an early collaboration from Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick (SHE LOVES ME, FIDDLER ON THE ROOF) is very strong, and includes several show-pieces like "Politics and Poker", "Little Tin Box" and "On the Side of the Angels".

Ellen Hanley (who had previously been criminally under-used as Polly Bergen's understudy in FIRST IMPRESSIONS) glows in the role of feisty Thea, the sweatshop workers' leader. She has two of the score's best ballads, "'Til Tomorrow" and "When Did I Fall in Love".

Pat Stanley (who earned a Tony for her performance in the disastrous GOLDILOCKS) gets the cute number "I Love a Cop". Eileen Rodgers (who later starred in a successful off-Broadway revival of ANYTHING GOES) sings the showstopping "Gentleman Jimmy", a manic flapper tune. FIORELLO! is a fantastic show in that it has no less than 3 strong female roles.

For those who only started following Tom Bosley's career during his 'Happy Days', the fact that he was a top-drawer musical theater talent will come as a big surprise. Bosley played the entire run of 795 performances. Bosley later made many more successful Broadway appearances including BEAUTY AND THE BEAST and (as of this review's writing) a triumphant stint in the Sam Mendes revival of CABARET.

This lovely reissue on the Angel Broadway label sounds as fresh as paint. An excellent remaster job and an excellent cast album.

Considering his uber-DJ status, it comes as something of a surprise to learn that The Politics Of Dancing (and, presumably, feeling good) is the first-ever mixed outing from one of dance music's most reluctant figureheads. Having said in the past that he didn't think he could bring the atmosphere of a club to a compilation, it has taken the full weight of the ubiquitous Ministry to persuade the legendary Berliners to their turntables for a steroid-pumped two hours of music. Despite his aversion to the term, rippling Eurotrance is the order of the day here, with Van Dyk stamping his authority by way of no less than 11 of his own tracks or remixes scattered across two seamlessly mixed compact discs, the tracklisting for which has also been dissected and rebuilt in the studio into what amounts to a series of exclusive versions. Message understood? --Kingsley Marshall

Album Description

With several releases under his belt of his own original tunes, Paul Van Dyk, puts together a killer mix CD including tracks from Joker Jam, Iio, Timo Maas, Way Out West, Blank & Jones, David Forbes, Sipping Soma and more. Ministry Of Sound. Slipcase. 2002.

Customer Reviews:

There is Irony With The Album's Title.......2007-07-08

I bought this album the week it was released. I should have went with my initial reaction of awe regarding the sheer number of tracks that were on each disc (always a bad sign that your in for anthem mania), but a was still a novice electronica shopper then!

It still obviously sold enough copies to please the powers to be as there is a second album under the same title. Always a market for everything.

Two discs full of tacky athems and re-mixes that I still have not figured out how anyone could actually dance to. Then again, I did visit a club in Vienna, Austria...let's just say the occupants' dancing styles were...unique.

Both Disc get 2/5 stars.

Four-On-The-Floor Filibusters.......2007-04-17

German DJ Paul Van Dyk grew up smuggling forbidden Western music into his ears from beyond the stones of the Berlin Wall. Plucking the musical currents freely from the air of oppression, Paul Van Dyk slowly developed an affinity for trance electronics, the mind massage of musics. His career started when he was 20, and sixteen years and multiple albums/awards later, he's still going strong, one of the top Trance DJs still performing today.

So, you can understand why I'm so bewildered by the stunning lack of innovation in this two-disc set. Don't get me wrong, as the title implies, this is all danceable stuff, but as anyone who's ever tapped their toes can tell you, it doesn't take much more than an incessant beat, some heavy bass, and stubbornly catchy hooks to fill the floors with bent knees and raised arms. It may be danceable, but is it memorable, is it something you want to possess and revisit?

Disc 1, maybe. Van Dyk takes some of his own creations (the untinctured and trancy "Autumn," the metal house splinters of "Out There," the deep, dream-washed beats of "Vega") and mixes them with some pretty standard fare gussied up with Van Dyk's usual flair for soul-heady producing. He meanders through some complex beats, clinging melodies, and frenetic layering ... it's all well-done stuff, but it smacks of moderation, like Van Dyk was harnessing himself. In an essay included with these discs, he refers to this disc as a "warm-up." Maybe he was afraid of spending his creative allotment. Whatever the case, the entire first record, while decent, is decent in a monotonous way. There are a few rich and brilliant seams in this mostly unbroken bedrock, though. Van Dyk does some excellent things with IIO's "Rapture," a club staple I'd long thought was past its prime. He also toys with U2, Timo Maas, Sippin' Soma, and Ashtrax with more than mediocre results. Although the whole of Disc One wants more flavor to make it mind-watering, it is energetic and electrifying. A four-star effort, if anything.

Disc 2 is just strange. He tries for a heftier, more progressive Eurotrance feel, something that has as much gut-deep oomph as it does cloud-light wistfulness. What he comes up with is an uneven batch of numbers that sound like they were assembled, Frankenstein-style from other, more successful compilations, lined up with the exact ... same ... four-on-the-floor backbone. Seriously. Almost every single song on the second CD traces a cloned, rhythmic rut. It's a shame (and a little mind-boggling) that Van Dyk didn't look for more diversity in the track listing, because what he does with these songs in the upper registers is pretty interesting (see Way Out West's "Activity" for a good example). Otherwise, although it's not what I'd call bad trance, it's definitely a prime example of high grade soft cheese, and it all tastes the same. A two star disc, at best.

Van Dyk is an artist who is capable of much more than this, although it's likely that he's a man whose live show energy loses potency when distilled into a crystal box and prepackaged for the masses. His on-the-fly in-house mixes put to shame this set of overly-mediated and thought-to-death discs. Worth a listen, I'd say, but not worth much more.

Trance has never hit higher high's.......2006-11-09

I am a Van Dyk fan by nature, so consider my review biased. But it is biased for a reason. his Cd's are incredible. There has never been anything like them. The Politics of Dancing 1 is no exception. It is an absolute must have for anyone who calls themselves a trance music fan. Buy this Cd, and in a few weeks you'll be at your computer writing a review just like this one here and the other hundred or so already out there.

Probably wondering if it lives up to its hype aren't you?.......2006-07-20

To be fair, this is in fact Paul Van Dyk's first attempt to mix a cd and it is a tragedy that it took him so ling to try it out. This album is a tsetament that the art of mixing; that is track selection, timing, synth key and pad matching, sound proofing for seemless transistions ans what have you is not something you learn overnight. It took Sasha almost twenty years but when he arrived, the world was stunned. Even the reviewers at rolingstone who hardly ever criticize trance albums had to give Sasha the Kudos he deserves. But I am digressing. My point si this is not Sasha,s Diggie or even Oakie's uncannily seductive sound. This is something else and after giving it the proper listens it deserves I believe this to be in the midst of one of the the top twenty electronic compilations of all time.

Paul Van Dyk cannot mix. I am no DJ; I have not paid my dues but I am a demon of a sampler, I was literally the first person in my country to pick up a faithless cd so I have a scary ear for music. He cannot mix period. The transistions simply illustrate his fetish for the euphoric whooof of airplanes, his tracks are too short to be truly psychedlic inducing and transistions from track to track suck. But that does not detract from the album. It is as if by some luck PVD realized his weakness in this new direction and decided to overdo things with track selection and BOY DOE HE OVER DO IT. Some of the most impressive starry eyed melodies I have ever heard in my life are on this cd and I'll back up that statement with my life. From the preternatural Lexicon 4 track to Dreamland and Joker Jam's drooling innnocence is enough to melt even the hardest cynic. A simple analogy of this compilation would be a girl I guess during that first meeting when your eyes meet hers and you feel like you can fly, or when a serious problem solves itself or when you remember some incident from your childhood; PVD packs it all here, patents it and commercializes it. Is it trance? yes Is it good trance? Yes? Is the mixing any good? NO there is no mixing (intentionally. Does this have any replay value? YES. Will this become a classic? Involver already ousted this cd. Maybe next time.


Very Highly recommended.

INSPIRING COLLECTION.......2006-02-06

This collection of great 20th century speeches is quite inspiring. From speeches focused on civil rights to great dreams of going to the moon, to great battles against evil empires, this collection transcends politics to demonstrate how some of America's great leaders have used their speaking skills to change the world. I especially recommend this CD for someone worried about delivering speeches; it should enhance your confidence to see how some of the masters did it.

Awesome song for a awesome band.......2005-10-24

Okay if you are into a punk rawk disc then this is the buy for you. Alot of fun songs with a christian message. And even for people who are not christian this is an awesome pickup full of great lyrics, good guitar, awesome drums (go drums!), and sweet bass. THere really is nothing wrong with this cd. Best song of course is Punk Rawk show and teenage politics in my opinion.

I also have to agree with the review stated earlier, that is an awesome talent for this band to be able to copy BLink 182 when they came out before them. FOR THE REVIEWER WHO WROTE THAT: MAKE A REVIEW THAT MAKES SENSE AND ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THE CD NEXT TIME!

pretty swell.........2005-09-21

first off, i love the review that said they were copying blink 182.. that's a talent to copy another band when your cd comes out years before..

amyway.. i used to have this one, and i'm pickin' it up again.. not the best of mxpx but a good solid cd.. i really can't think of anything better than punk rawk show.. that one gets me every time..

it's enjoyable..

Great CD!!!.......2004-04-19

This is one of their early cds but it is still good! This cd includes one of their most famous songs "Punk Rawk Show". Even though some people might not like it because it is "Not Like They Are Now" it is still a good cd and a new person to the band should get this cd.

ROCK ON MxPx!!

Pokinatcha is better.......2003-07-20

The followup to pokinatcha wasnt as good. Sure it has the songs punk rawk show,sugarcoated poison apple, and americanism, but his vocals on this cd are not as raw and hardcore like on pokinatcha. But it's mxpx so i would by it. Just to add to a collection.

Amazing!!!.......2003-01-30

This is their most political work to date. I would recomend this one. Not as good as Pokinatcha but it is worth the price. Relive MxPx's glory days with Teenage Politics.

The other great effort was Four Corners. Many people don't know the Yellowjackets won a grammy for this album and were nominated for Four Corners. Once the saxophonist Marc Russo and drummer William Kennedy left the group the music just took a huge nosedive in my opinion. Bob Mintzer is a great saxophonist but to me his sound never felt "right" with this group. Marc just could never control his temper. It's a shame. I miss their group cohesion very much but I treasure these CD's even more for it.

21 tracks spanning Peggy Seeger's contribution to folk music.......2001-08-29

This is a very generous anthology of songs in the folk idiom so listeners are bound to have particular favourites. The first ten tracks (apart from track 2) are traditional songs played on a variety of instruments - banjo, tinwhistle, guitar, autoharp, mandolin, and dulcimer. What mainly binds these songs together is the quality of performance. The songs illustrate a range of vocal effects and instrumental techniques. "Broomfield Hill" (Child 43) tells the story of a rather flirtatious lady who outwits a young man, who would have taken advantage, had he been permitted to. "Jellon Graeme" (Child 90) is a gory ballad, which acts as a warning to men who kill their pregnant lovers rather than doing the honourable thing. A common interest in ballads was one of the factors that brought Peggy Seeger and Ewan MacColl together. Two Child ballads are well performed to banjo accompaniment. Peggy's banjo playing was another factor that attracted Ewan's attention (apart from seeing Peggy Seeger's face!). Needless to say, these songs are traditional, as is the humorous "The Squire and the Colic". The jubilant chorus line and the Squire's productivity, bring back memories of audiences at The Singer's Club (Britain's first Folk Club, of which MacColl, Seeger and the Critics Group were residents) enjoying folk music's equivalent to a rugby song. Of the traditional songs, my favourites are: "Going To The West", "Freight Train", "When I Was Single" and "Pretty Saro" - which show the length of my listening span. I like to compare Peggy Seeger's version of "Pretty Saro" with that of "Judy Collins". The two versions illustrate the many variants of lyrics and musical accompaniment in folk music. The contemporary songs on the album are written by Peggy Seeger except for tracks 12, 18 and 19. Track 12 "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face" was written by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger. They partnered one another for over 30 years. Ewan wrote Track 19 "Nobody knew she was there?" for his mother, Betsy Miller whose life was a catalogue of domestic duties, bar her enormous repertoire of songs. I am used to hearing Ewan sing of Betsy's hard life. Here the song is hauntingly sung and accompanied on the Appalachian dulcimer by Peggy. Peggy's contemporary lyrics illustrate both her social concerns and her role as a counterpart to Ewan in the best folk duo of the twentieth century. Many of Ewan's earlier song compositions celebrated 'the working man as hero' while Peggy's earlier songs relate to her own voyage through life "Song of Myself", her family - "My Son" and "Song for Calum" and women's issues "Little Girl Child" (written later for her daughter Kitty) and "Gonna Be an Engineer". "Song of Choice" could almost have been written by either Peggy or Ewan. Together they were fierce critics of the unacceptable faces of capitalism and Ewan's anti nuclear campaigning is founded in his work with Joan Littlewood - his first wife with whom he co-founded Theatre Workshop. "Thoughts of Time" has all the benchmarks of Peggy's realism - the circles and seasons quality which pervades many Seeger family songs. Americans obviously notice the weather and the time of year! There is a refreshing innocence in many of the songs that Peggy chooses to sing, though she can compose in several modes. "Thoughts of Time" reflects on the twenty year age difference between MacColl and Seeger and the inevitability that they will go their different ways. The lyrics are simple and honest. Compare "Thoughts of Time" with track 2 "Lady, What Do You Do All Day" or "Enough is Enough" and you will see that Peggy Seeger is capable of composing and delivering very complex lyrics, which she can sing and play at the speed of an express train. When the content is biting social or political satire, these songs can be as challenging to audiences as some of the longer ballads and are vastly entertaining, providing you understand any contemporary reference to British or American politics. These days I have to brush up on my campaigners for women's rights! Track 18 "Talking Wheelchair Blues" (written by Fred Small) is reminiscent in its wit and social message of Peggy's own wheelchair song (based on field work) "Woman on Wheels". Irene Scott, who since Ewan's death in October 1989 has performed on a growing number of albums with Peggy, contributed to the words of "Garden of Flowers", written for Ewan in June 1989. Peggy left England to set up home in America in the 1990s, marking the end of the Folkways Years and a new beginning, which has broadened the base of her music - moving away from 'strictly folk' to songs which feature her versatility as a pianist and vocalist, supported by the fine voice of Irene Scott and the vocal backings and instrumental skills of a family of accomplished musicians, who include her sons and daughter - Neill, Calum and Kitty MacColl.

The Voice of Reason.......2005-08-17

Staunch socialist and champion of democracy. Tony Benn is that most rare thing, a politician of conviction who works tirelessly for a better world.
The most relevent tracks for the US listener are tracks 1,4 and 8. Tracks 1 and 8 concern the circumstances leading to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. However track 4 is my personal favourite. A stinging indictment of the policies of the government of Margaret Thatcher and the philosophy that has so damaged both Britain and the US.

Just feels good........2004-01-09

It is a great feeling to know that there is at least one other human being on the planet that feels the way do. An Irish friend introduced me to this album. Passionate, articulate, intelligent and for the common man, Tony Benn's speaches reach at the core of what it means to be a thinking human being. And they reminded me of what it means to be an American, and the duty we have to speak out against government policies that are unfair, unjust or just plain wrong. It is great fun to listen too, I think you'll enjoy it and highly reccomend it! I like the kind of information provided by Michael Moore, and if you do you will like this, and visa - versa.
