5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Farina is the MAN, October 10, 1999

Yet again, Mark Farina delivers the goods. He has distinguished himself as an artist with impeccable taste as far as song selection goes (as fans of either Mushroom Jazz or Mushroom Jazz 2 will attest) as well as flawless mixing skills. Fans of United DJs of America #9 will love San Francisco Sessions... in fact, I think it is an even better mix than UDJA9. Farina fans should also look out for (the relatively rare release) from Imperial Dub Records that features choice tracks by Dubtribe Sound System and Dr. Dub (you might know him better as, oh... Doc Martin!) mixed beautifully by Om Records' favorite son Mark Farina. And on that note, a plug for Om Records... you can't go wrong with an Om release! Particularly worthy of mention/purchase are the Sounds of Om house release, Om Lounge, and Deeper Concentration. Whether you're a fan of groovin house or innovative jungle (Ming + FS' impressive release "Hell's Kitchen"), Om is a solid label with phat offerings, not the least of which is Mark Farina's San Francisco Sessions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best! Farina has never been better..., March 22, 2004

This review is from: San Francisco Sessions (Audio CD)

This CD was realeased around five years ago and still stands as one of the best mixed house cds ever. It is completely seamless, in fact if you set it to loop continusly, the beginning and the end mixes perfectly. This disc rarely leaves my player. It is only equaled by French Sessions Vol. 1 & Vol. 3. This cd really shows the skill and creativity of the Farina. He adds beautiful vocal samples from one of the tracks, throughout the mix, this small addition ties the whole disc together. Farina is truly a madman with a sampler. Buy this disc, support great artists and indie labels.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not Farina's best, But still a great buy!, September 30, 1999

This review is from: San Francisco Sessions (Audio CD)

"San Francisco Sessions" is Mr.Farina's third house mix release. While I haven't listened to "seasons one" (1st release) yet, I have heard the "United DJs of America Volume 9." That CD showed how awesome house music really is. Farina blended soulful, deep groovin records with more precision than any other DJ out there. The same can be said about the Mushroom Jazz series. So what is the difference between SFS and UDJA9? The mixing was as good as it gets (as usual), but the track selection was not as affective; unlike UDJA9, not every track made me want to get up and dance. But I will note that tracks 4,8,9, and 13 still rocked the house for me. Overall, despite being in need of a little better track selection, "San Francisco Sessions" is great. Mark Farina is the man, and that's all there is to it.
