@Smallman1 serious question: Ibiza disc 2 or London disc 2?

Smallman1

Lol, behave, you know the answer!

I’ve probably said similar on here before, but overall I prefer Disc 2 of Hong Kong to Disc 1.

Even though Disc 1 has some better individual tracks (Tribe & Trance, Baguio Track, Cevin Fisher etc.), it jumps about a bit too much, and the last two tracks don’t really do it for me.

Disc 2 though is completely hypnotic and expertly put together. It’s so good that I can almost forgive Diggers for not including the original mix of Stoneproof.

Worry not Hugo, original content is not mandatory in this thread.

To prove it, and hopefully put you at ease, I’m voting for hour 2 of

BlainSA

hugopal I was going to put this in the Controversial Prog Takes thread. CD2
has got great tunes, but the mixing is average to poor in places and jumps about far more than CD1 (which not only has outstanding mixing, but also a great flow).

zackster

Dan Yeah…love the fact that in the age of turbo powered cheese it’s pitched down and melodic.

Steely checking in on the thread

Echo

I love the fact Zachster has gone through this thread again with a fine-tooth comb.

BlainSA isn’t it mixed in protools?

Wally

BlainSA And when did you suffer the blunt force trauma to the head that has clearly messed with your musical tastes?

hugopal

BlainSA are you sure you’re not getting your memory in a muddle?

Disc 2 of HK probably has the smoothest flow of any GU Disc.

BlainSA

mono-stereo It’s beatmatched but that’s not what I’m getting at.

CD1 is well above CD2 for its layering and flow.

BlainSA

Wally the music is excellent bar Pob - Glide. The flow and mix not so much.

BlainSA

hugopal Ooh, now that should be in the Controversial Prog Takes for sure, Hugo

LT42

“Probably” is key here as the answer is, it doesn’t. That award has already been handed out and spoken about for centuries since, and thats CD1 of Sydney.

Wally

I’m with Hugo - I think people are just wanking over the mix from Music saved my life to Useless.

CD2 is clearly the better flow with Diggers ’Pulls off dangerous track combinations with a rally driver’s cool’

benson

Wally same could be said for tenaglia.

BlainSA

Wally Not at all. The first mix on CD1 beats anything on CD2. Kinda goes on from there with great key changes and atmospheric building with the mixes.

The only ‘adventurous’ mix of CD2 is NYFM into Persuasion.

ScottBailey

Best mixing/programming of any two tracks is definitely on CD2.

CD2 of Sasha #013 that is!

‘Bluefish - One’ into ‘BT - Mercury & Solace’ has never been bettered in my opinion.

Dan

ScottBailey Such a simple drop, but works brilliantly.

I’m pretty sure I’ve also commented on here before that it’s my fav single transition from any of the GUs.

ScottBailey

Dan absolutely. Having tried to recreate it since, it was the first time I really realised that most (if not all) the GU’s were studio mixed, as it’s impossible to do on vinyl without a loop. Guess I was either naive, or in denial to thinking they were all live mixes “based on a GU show”.
