jonattonyeah LOL Hernan needs 6 hours just to get out of first gear. The weapon.

Quality.

Like Millsy with more ruffled, rogueish hair.

    303abuser They’re both absolutely quality comps, the proper heyday of GU and dare I say it, the mix CD generally.

    006 for me, but only just.

      except that 007 is one of the worst mixed comps i’ve ever heard.

      I’m with 303 here

      And a couple or three LOLs for Dave knockin out the Disc 1 of bantz.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’d take 006 CD1 over both CD’s of 007 every time. Unfortunately 006 CD2 is a mere coaster, so my original selection still stands.

      BlainSA I had thought of that one. I think I prefer disc 1, just because the US release has the one deep dish mix of barbarella on it, which really puts the mix in a different place as a whole.

          It’s got decent tunes (except Pushin Too Hard) but I found the whole thing a bit of a dirge…Haven’t listened to for a while so may have to revisit.

            However, if it wasn’t for the Chemical Bros tune, I would probably say disc 2 tips it.

            It’s not bad, IMO, but sounds like Prog By Numbers in retrospect. Particularly disc 1. Suppose it’s a descent snapshot of the year but certainly feels uninspired when compared to the NE and GU releases. But sure they got a nice paycheck so whatever.

                BlainSA Disc 2 is superior. Better tunes; Mainline - Narcotic, Voices (Freelance Icebreaker’s Mix), Jimmy Van M – ECI-PS and Austin Leeds – Force 51.

                    Cream resident. CD2 is as good a peak-time trance set as you will hear. Pure killer

                    zackster Disc 2 for Enjoyed….properly goes off.

                      Disc 1 automatically wins for having ‘Musak’ on it. Thems the rules.

                      So I’ve given both discs of 006 a full listening today, with an hour palate cleanser in between 1 and 2. Let me cut right to the chase and say that @Amps is absolutely right. Disc 2 looks down on Disc 1 from a great height. I honestly didn’t remember much about either disc, but it only took about 15 seconds of Imagine before it all came back to me. Disc one is such a disjointed mix of tunes, played in such an erratic fashion, I honestly don’t understand how anyone could think much of it. There are at least 2 transitions where John completely lets the air out of the balloon. However, I will also say that Disc 2 leaves much to be desired. The pace, mixing, and track selection are all far superior to Disc 1. This is beyond doubt. My issue is that Digweed takes things into a deep dark place, and never finds his way out again. I quickly remembered why I haven’t reached for this disc in probably 18 years. I mean, Out of It is such an unacceptable track to end a mixed cd on. If this was truly a snap shot of a 5 hour set, then fair enough, but as a stand alone mix it is very subpar.
