This is one of the best house mix CD's ever put out that will easily stand the test of time. Each song seamlessly flows into the next as Doc Martin effortlessly take the listener on a journey through ones mind. He's a wizard at slowly building the pace from one record to the next until the set peaks w/ a musical frenzy which moves through your body & into your soul; one is left feeling as if they've just had a spiritual revelation of some sort.

This is from around the time period (95,96,97) showcasing him at his best, and this CD comes pretty darn close to catching him live at Fever in Baltimore around then. Go out & buy this CD, shut everything off, turn up the volume, and prepare yourself to be taken on a trip.

There are a few in my collection that are classic: Mixmag Live 20 by Plastikman, Mixmag Live by Laurent Garnier, Mark Farina Seasons, United DJ's Jeno, Jeff Mills Mix-Up...and this one. The beauty of Doc is that he has a specific blueprint of where he wants to go and how to get there. Deep and dark, with it seeming like evil is lurking just below the surface, while breathy vocals soar along the top. If you are reading this review, get this CD. And consider yourself lucky that you can find it used for $3.52; I would pay $20-$30 to hear this.

Because I have been trying to re-get ahold of this CD for some time now, after losing it years ago. It's on it's way to my house now, but after listening to the provided clips, it reminds me why it has been on my mind for so long. (Tracks?), parts of the CD so meaningfully static it was like this CD was made to wash away everything else your listening to and replace. A purposeful effort, it takes years of music knowledge and slices it up, and serves it to listeners. And it is a unique knowledge...
