Entertainment WeeklyFew DJs of the last decade have made club beats shimmer and glisten the way he has. [28 Feb 2003, p.80]
-
An essential experience for hardcore fans and those still not convinced of van Dyk's power.
-
UrbDespite the fresh reworking, tracks like "For An Angel" and "Another Way" retain the heartfelt with synthetic, catchy cores that made them such beloved trance anthems in the first place. [Mar 2003, p.99]

The songs range from interesting and cool to blah and by-the-numbers, the footage hops from self-aggrandizing and boring to beautiful and big-hearted. It's all very precise and perfectly done, if you like that sort of thing.

A document only for the hardcore fans.

Though most of his career highlights also appear here, a parade of Paul Van Dyk productions is not what most listeners need to stave off boredom; his productions all work from a similar framework, and work best in the context of a broader mix set.
-
A far cry from the sequencing prowess evidenced on his 1998 release, Vorsprung Dyk Technik, and a dismally inadequate way of showcasing the music that he's unleashed on the trance scene, this Greatest Hits package is an exercise in frustration.

brettlMay 22, 2003I give this album a 10 because it takes you to a place that PVD creates and turns it into reality. Anamacion is by far his best peace, yet!
