Paul van Dyks first mix cd in years.. humm.. good enough?

Overall, there are loads of great tunes there, especially in the end of the first cd (Autumn, Empire, Dreamland) and the start of the second (Massive, Epic Monolith). But before buying this watch out for the fact not every tune was put here as originally they were made. Paul van Dyk reworked a lot of the tracks. And while this concept may look nice, reworking the tunes to make them fit together, it ended up a disaster. You must really like the typical PvD bassline and beat, because youll hear it from the start till the end (especially in the second cd). Also, some reworks take off some energy from some tunes, like in Second Sun - Empire.

Its a good cd for the sense that there are pretty nice tracks there, but the reworking thing just put me off. The middle part of the first cd is not so good, with some very commercial housy tunes. The only really special thing in this release is the end of that cd.
