Revered remixer for the likes of New Order, Tori Amos and Curve, German techno producer Paul van Dyk finally gets a chance to exhibit some of his own work outside of his native country. Steeped in the early-'90s acid-house tradition, his second album, 1996's Seven Ways, gushes with the kind of propulsive rhythms and sweeping synthesizers that make ravers go mad on the dance floor. His signature club hit, "Words," is the initial attention grabber, but other selections, such as "Forbidden Fruit" and the title cut, also stand out for their trippy adventurism. It's a shame it took American audiences so long to discover him. Limited editions of this release come with a bonus disc of essential remixes and remakes. --Aidin Vaziri
