5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome track layout!, November 2, 2001

This mix presents the listener with a different approach to a mix: blending from many genre's to form a perfect climax over 2 hours.

He starts with sensitive, interesting and melodic drum&bass, moves into a more progressive d&b, and then breaks out the trance/sorta-goa/sorta-psychtrance to get you going near the end of CD1... CD2 continues with the same stuff, though moving it into straight up and down trance, throwing in another hint of d&b, then moving on to a lovely finish.

Definitly not the same style he would play during the "Tranceport" era, or even the "Resident: 2 Years At Cream" era. This is before all that, but after his Goa spell. Wonderfully chillful at the begining, then amazingly it towers above all at the end. If you're into Oakey, Nick Warren or Dave Seaman, get this.... you'll like it. Much more of an energetic build up starting with CD2..... absolutely!

5.0 out of 5 stars true skill, October 23, 2001

This is his best global underground contribution and along with Resident it is his best work. On this album he illustrates the true skill that a world renowned DJ has. On disc 1 he glides through the clouds of drum 'n bass, changing it into breakbeat to set up his progressive finish. On disc 2 he begins with very heavy acid house and transitions seamlessly to trance. And with some applome. And picture this being live.

This isn't your typical techno house mix. I liked the variety of music, starting with several drum and bass tracks which lead into trance and house. Peppered with good vocals, I also like the change in pacing which gives it much more appeal listening to as opposed to the typical unrelenting beat. It builds and then releases in good form. This album is good to chill to as well. Get it-I think you'll like it.
