The world's #1 DJ Paul van Dyk is back with IN BETWEEN, a dynamic new effort that spotlights his incredible talent as a producer and recording artist. The album features a wide range of collaborations including David Byrne (Talking Heads), Jessica Sutta (Pussycat Dolls), Ashley Tomberlin (Luminary), Alex M.O.R.P.H, Lo Fi Sugar, Rea Garvey (Reamonn), Ryan Merchant and Wayne Jackson. Paul van Dyk received a Grammy nomination in 2005 for Best Dance/Electronic Album for his original album "Reflections" - this marked the first time NARAS recognized this category. His original productions from "Reflections" have been licensed for major television commercials, such as Motorola, Land Rover and most recently for Jeep.

Summary: Probably Paul's weakest release
Comment: First off, purchase the mp3 release. It contains more tracks and has longer running times than the CD release.
Second, PvD's famous (or infamous) 4-4 beat gets very tiresome here. It plagues just about every track. It works for some of the tracks, but in songs like 'New York City' it just gets ugly repetitive. And when that's pread over 17 tracks, it becomes hard to really distinguish and separate one track from the other.
Some of his best tracks here are 'Another Sunday' and 'La Dolce Vita'. Still, there's nothing quite as memorable, nothing that would stand alone as a classic PVD tune like 'Forbidden Fruit', 'Another Way', or 'Autumn'. I don't believe that these few tracks would, however, justify a purchase of this album except from the most ardent PVD fans and those just generally interested in what one of the world's top DJs produces. For that measure, I would recommend the Global CD/DVD.
On the upside, this album does return PVD more to his dance roots and I appreciate that. We saw a slight departure to a more artistic expression (and commercial) with Reflections (see my review) and him experimenting with hip-hop wasn't exactly a well-received experiment. But to be honest, Reflections sounds refreshing compared to this. Reflections had a bit of filler, but tracks like 'Time of our Lives', 'Reflections', and of course, the euphoric 'Nothing But You' were sonic heaven-- and all three tracks sounded different.
Still nothing beats a PVD live set or a PVD remix thrown in a PVD set, and the remixes for New York City and White Lies are rather good. Unfortunately, In Between is an album best served in small doses rather than in a large, single serving.

Summary: WTF, I'll listen to someone else
Comment: I bought this cd six months ago and have not listened to more than 20 seconds of each song. Thatt's because I am not a fourteen year old girl, that's who this music seems geared toward. If you want music to take you on a trip Nick Warren's "Paris" cd is somewhat good, and of course Ferry Corsten's "Passport" is a hell of a lot better. than this pop crap. in a word: Disappointment
Customer Rating:
Summary: Vocals on this 1 are great
Comment: If you are not a big fan of vocal trance you will become after you listen to this cd. Great sound of PvD and beautiful voice of Ashley Tomberlin are def strong sides of this album
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not enough Trance for me
Comment: The only song I really loved was the first, "Haunted." The rest was just okay and the last song was no good at all! I usually love Paul Van Dyk, but for some reason, this CD didn't do it for me.
Customer Rating:
Summary: very blah
Comment: Very blah tracks. Nothing good or memorable. Simon Cowell would call it "Completely forgettable."
For the best new stuff out try: Cosmic Gate - Back 2 Back 3; Markus Schulz - Amsterdam 08; Sander Van Doorn - Supernaturalistic.
