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.

                      This is a wind up. 😅

                        🤣 this is just embarrassing.

                          Biggest load of waffle I’ve read in a long time.

                            Shapeshifter Flood is beyond poorly timed. Completely douses the fire. And the Ferry Corsten track is sooo tacked on. Doesn’t fit at all.
