'''''Out There and Back''''' is the third [[studio album]] by [[Paul van Dyk]]. It was released in 2000 and is the first album released on his own [[Vandit]] [[record label]]. It can be seen as Paul van Dyk's breakthrough album. Several editions include a bonus CD.

The album is partially inspired by the science fiction film ''[[Contact (1997 American film)|Contact]]'' (1997). The track "Another Way" would later be featured during a chase sequence of an episode from ''[[What's New, Scooby-Doo?]]'' while its B-side, "Avenue", would be used in the soundtrack of ''[[Wipeout 3]]''.
