5.0 out of 5 stars Northern exposure 3 "Expeditions" even more amazing!, March 14, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Northern Exposure : Expeditions (Audio CD)

This 3rd and newest installment in the ever-popular Northern exposure series is perhaps the finest showcasing of U.K. based DJ's Sasha and John Digweed yet! Their ability to effortlessly blend together dance tracks so smoothly will put them on the DJ map forever. This double disc set offers a little of what the fans who see them at their monthly gig in NY's club TWILO experience... older club tracks(such as Delta Lady's "anything you want")blended with the most cutting edge dance music to create an aural atmosphere unlike anyone else's.The highlights of this cd are all of the hard to find(or never released)remixes, such as the unreleased US remix of Jayn Hanna's "Lost without you", an excellent progressive trance track with very beutifull vocals.Some standouts of this cd are the energetic reworking of Delerium's "silence" wich features Sara Mclachlan on vocals, Platipus records superstar Union Jack's "morning glory", humate's "love stimulation", and the 2nd cd closer Mike Koglin "the silence", wich lifts the main epic melody from Depeche Mode's "enjoy the silence".But the best treat for all who buy this cd is the inclusion of the new, as-of-yet unreleased track from Sasha himself, titled "belfunk". This is one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard, and is right up there with Sasha's other epic singles "Arkham asylum" and "be as one".This is a very recomended cd for any fan of Sasha & John Digweed, or for anyone who wants to hear a new turn into the world of epic house & progressive trance.

5.0 out of 5 stars the masters of emotion, February 14, 2000

I simply cannot say enough good things about Sasha and John Digweed. Anyone who has listened to their music extensively will probably testify that alone they are fantastic DJ's, but together they are magical. S & D are masters of their craft who know exactly how to weave patterns of sound that elicit powerful emotional responses. More than once have I been driving in my car, listening to S&D,and been completely moved to tears. The way in which they subtly blend the sounds together is amazing. Their attention to detail is unequaled. Anyone who can truly appreciate fabulous mixing, combined with a track selection that is very well planned out, absolutely cannot ignore anything by these artists. This CD in particular is a good example of the skills of Sasha and Digweed. The first disc begins with a rush of sound that cascades into the melodic and beautiful rhythms of Space Manouevers. Some gentle vocals whisper at you in I Know You Love Me Too. The pristine simplicity of Sasha's own Belfunk adds a nice touch of personality. Absent from the US release is the excellent Sarah McClachlan remix. The second CD is very different. The ambient Seaside Atmosphere beginsthe CD, with the downbeat mood carrying over subtly into tracks 3 and 4. Here the pace which was only beginning to show itself starts to pick up. The synth rhythms here layer themselves in such a way as to give you many different layers to pick out. The upward spiral of Pure Frictions Groove carries over perfectly into Gamelan from Red Devil. Track 7, Mess With Da Bull, brings about a highly energetic climax which blends the beat with the melody fantastically. The crescendo from 7 falls beautifully into the melodic Love Stimulation from Paul Van Dyk and crew. Breeder (a favorite of S&D) brings a tune written exclusively for this mix in next. The combination of a tune by Breeder fitted into the mix perfectly by S&D makes this track a great standout. The mood then changes to the vocal track Anything You Want. The way the breakbeats just creep themselves in there always makes my spine tingle. What can I say about "The Silence?" This track is a complete miracle. It is one of the best songs I have ever heard, period. Anyone who can appreciate well done music will like this track, regardless of what style they like. A great end to a FABULOUS mix. These artists are the absoulte best at what they do, and this is one of their best works. Find out why so many people have made these two their Alpha and Omega of music. Try it !

No, this is no paul van dyk, no tiesto, no armin van buuren. This is trance. Real trance. Not pop. No cookie cutter breakdowns, buildups, and hit-me-over-the head anthems here. Thank you S&D.
