It's 2007 and trance has been left for dead. Pop swooped in and cherry-picked the genre's egalitarian appeal, repackaged it, and squeezed the whole thing dry. Meanwhile its other flank was shredded by dance music itself and its brutally dynamic nature, evolving and expanding and making the genre seem simple-minded--or worse, irrelevant. In response, Paul Van Dyk has spent the last several years concocting In Between, which, as its name implies, is an attempt to find a sweet spot connecting the progressive sweep of past efforts like Seven Ways and his own long-simmering commercial instincts. At least as gifted in the studio as he is on the decks, Van Dyk's record glitters with production depth and a veteran's panache. Guest vocalist Lo-Fi Sugar helps turn the lead track "Haunted" into a delightful shimmer, and for a moment we think he might spring an ambient record on us. But that notion is cleanly dismissed by the chunky synths of the electro-house excursion "White Lies," and from there, the DJ attempts with limited success to stuff the usual peaks and valleys into the tight confines of pop songs. He occasionally succeeds: "New York City" is especially good fun, as Van Dyk puts a siren sample in the background that'll have you reaching for your license and registration. But he's squeezed 17 tracks onto this single-disc release, and you can feel the struggle to sustain momentum--shorter tracks like "Talk in Grey" (featuring Ryan Merchant) end just as they might genuinely take off. Nothing sinks in with any depth. Van Dyk is a master practitioner and his efforts to evolve are laudable, but on In Between, his determination to cross over into pop too often mutes his more progressive and compelling instincts. --Matthew Cooke

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
 Not enough Trance for me April 7, 2008

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.
 very blah March 26, 2008

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.
Van Dyk Disappoints January 14, 2008

Quite frankly, I was a little disapointed with this recent salvo by Paul Van Dyk. This album was a little tiered at times, and newer material from Armin Van Buren, Tiesto, and Markus Schulz are much more engaging than In Between. I hate writing this review since I love Paul Van Dyk's work, but I simply think better electronica is being made today.
old stuff is better January 7, 2008

Big fan of Paul Van Dyk but this album disappointed me. To me it doesn't flow together well and sounds like a generic "techno" album.
