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’
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.

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”.
ScottBailey hugopal no, it’s just the dub mix. Most of the download sites only have the vocal version, but I did manage to find it somewhere
ScottBailey hugopal if you want the version on #013, you can buy it here (like I did): - https://www.junodownload.com/products/bt-mercury-solace/1272145-02/?track_number=2
zackster BlainSA 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. Am with Blain here. Disc 2 is just a series of big room prog tracks. Very much Digweed’s attempt at doing what Sasha did on the prior release.
LT42 hugopal Disc 2 of HK probably has the smoothest flow of any GU Disc. “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.
seanc80 Both disks of Hong Kong are incredible IMO. Brilliantly aggressive . Amhran in the 7th Phase (Ferr’s Subliminal recut) has to be one of the most wonderfully hypnotic pieces of trance ive ever heard.
Heno seanc80 he played the first homelands over here and basically thumped out cd2 of this , was absolutely brilliant place was at fever pitch
ScottBailey Dan Brancaccio & Aisher remix for me. Sounded great on one of my favourite “live” essential mixes of all time, Chris Fortier @ Giant 2001
303abuser Dan i literally fell off a chair in my living room to that track once. baked out of my mind, was in the vortex and lost my bearings. 🤣
