"outstanding. PVD is sophistication in a genre that is overflowing with cheese. his tracks are intelligent and witty and powerful. another way is an example of trance done right. and his sessions remix 1 is nothing short of heroic. i had the privelege of seeing him spin at twilo the past 2 times he was there and it was another universe. those who know, are down with pvd. this cd is worth it for track 4 alone. its dark and driving but not sloppy at all. this is a "no risk" buy. get it."

Excellent double-sided release

"Paul Van Dyk never ceases to amaze me. Ever since I heard "For An Angel" and his remix of "1998" the man can do no wrong. This double single is definitely worth your cash if you're into trance. It starts off with a radio edit and club mix of "Another Way"... now this isn't the best thing PvD's produced over the years, but its still a fairly good tune. The disc really kicks into full force though with the electro-charged "Avenue". It sounds similar to "1998", but different enough for it to be an excellent tune. This is one of the highlights of the single. The other highlight is definitely "PvD Sessions Mix 1". It adds much needed energy to "Another Way" turning it into a mamoth sized club hit. "PvD Sessions Mix 2" isn't as great as "1", but its still another great trance tune. The last part of the CD is a megamix of "Another Way" and "Avenue" which is alright, but tracks 3&4 alone are probably the best.The US Maxi single is definitely a great investment because there are 2 UK releases, one with the radio and club mixes of "Another Way" and the full length "Avenue". The second features strictly the megamix, and PvD Sessions Mixes are not found on the CD. I'd suggest this to any fan of PvD, and even thoughs who don't know him and are into trance, I'd get it too."

PVD is an ANGEL!

"Paul Van Dyk has opened up a pandora's box full of quality trance music with all his high standard releases. Using his trademark minor chords to full melancholy effect on 'Another Way' the song is atmoshperically haunting and the perfect companion to 'For An Angel'.Subtley building and growing with every sound until it leaves you in an instant. His mixes of it are splendid. Avenue on the other hand takes a more techno approach, and is more harder and darker while still retaining it's beauty with the use of a synth organ and what I believe to be a 303 in the breakdown. Paul Van Dyk is the GOD OF TRANCE and if you want to find out what all the fuss is about, then get this CD, you won't be disappointed!"

PVD does it again.

"This (Another Way) is another trance/dream style track by PVD. Again, he does a terrific job in choosing the melodies and composing the track. Other traxx of his such as "forbidden fruit", "For an angel",etc are in the same style as "another way". "Avenue" is a fairly decent track which works good on the dance floor with high paced mix of traxx. PVD has been making and remixing good trance and progressive traxx for a while now. He is a talented DJ and producer. He has many fans worldwide. However, I think PVD should try something little different in the same music style. What I mean is he should use different keyboards, synths, bass drums, and different style when he composes and produces his tunes. Be a little creative. PVD's many traxx and songs sound somewhat similar. They all are plain or simple. For example: one beat and one main melody with some breaks here and there. I think he should be more creative like DJ Taucher, AYLA, DJ Sakin, Mythos N DJ Cosmo, or even his buddy BT. BT shows his terrific talent in every single release of his. PVD should do the same but by being himself."

'Avenue' To The Millenium!

"Hi. I am only a mere youngin of the underground movement. But my knowledge of this style os music has increased due to only one man and one man alone. About 4 years ago i stumbled across a little song called 'for an angel'. at the time i was getting into any way shape or form of this futuristic culture. So i was up for anything. Most of you people already know of the massive response 'angel' had on EVERYONE! But it was different for me, sure i loved it, but it was more of a passage into a new world. At that point, i saw true beauty. When you see true beauty, u see life differently. In other words, it inspired me like no other. so with that we foward back to now. The approach of the millenium, and are we sick of it or what? But right when y2k is up to our caffine-dosed heads, along comes Mr. Van Dyk! Back with another hit to make us shiver. 'Avenue' truly goes up there with the likes of Sasha's outstanding 'Expander', to the symphonic attributes of Hybrid. What better man to lead us into a new world of unimaginable hope than the 'lord of the trance' himself: Paul Van Dyk. Sure there are a cookies worth of great anthems of the century. I love most of them. Truth is though, 'Avenue' has got to be up there with em'! Simple as that. There is no other man better to drive us in. PVD WE SALUTE YOU! -SEAN"
