The van Bellen mix of Love Me Too is probably my single favorite prog trance tune. The US version of that comp doesn’t have the Fortier mix of The Silence on it, so it goes right from Belfunk to Love Me Too which is one of my favorite mixed cd transitions. Completely storming.

    How about Max Graham’s Transport folks? Left that one dangling there for you, but you all took too long.

    zackster i’d agree with that, i like the mix version without silence better as well.

    Carl Cox F.A.C.T as disc 2 contains Drax - Amphethamine

      after careful analysis disc one of sydney is still far better than disc two. good mix, but it’s not even close.

      RichM And The Source Experience - Elektra. And The Orange Theme. Better than Disc 1? Both discs are 💪

      What mix are we talking here? No Shoes No Cake?

        Burridge’s NuBreed - Disc 2 (especially when Patricia Never Leaves The House drops, and thereafter) is much better than Disc 1.

          Songs in the Key of Life and Exile on Main Street.

          bosstrabs Disc 2 of the 1st Tyrant release is also better than Disc 1.

          Many thanks.

          Sander Kleinenberg’s NuBreed (and GU 006) have to be top 5 most glaring examples where I almost never listen to the disc 2.

          Never thought about this, but seems so obvious now. Can’t think of one mix CD where I like disc 2 better than disc 1. Pappa’s NuBreed maybe.

            Agree with that.

            The Van Bellen mix of ‘I Know You Love Me Too’ is near the top for me as well.

            deep south and makesome breaksome finishing off disc2 of tyrant vol 1 is outstanding

            also going to through in lee burridges 24-7. this certainly got more plays, just for kenny hawkes play the game and agent 001

            Homegrove Considering how much people bang on about John and the vortex, disk two of 006 should be getting rinsed, it’s basically proto vortex.

              Oakey’s 007.

              Like your favourite take-away, Smallman1 always delivers.

                Amps wouldn’t call CD2 vortex music.

                CD1 on the other hand is pure vortex! Dark, chuggy and tribal. All the ingredients for a good vortexing.

                CD2 is pedal to the metal, fist pumping and touching on trance. Bit too much for my liking.

                  On the basis I haven’t heard it an a while, I’ve just hit play on Sydney CD1.

                  Hold tight for feedback!

                  Never got on with CD1 - can appreciate why other people like it but it’s just not my cup of tea. CD2 however is amazing.

                  ScottBailey Vortex is when John is at his most techno, and the second half of disk two is him at his most techno at the time. And I caveated it with ‘proto vortex’. Don’t fuck with me on this, I will die on this hill.

                  Holden’s Balance? Disc 1 is mint but it’s arguable that Disc 2 is better. Still boggles my mind that he needed a bridge track from Hayling to Lifeformation so just knocked out The Wheel like it was no big thing.

                  Have never liked Holden’s Balance.

                  Massively overrated.

                    Smallman1 Not sure your remaining flimsy prog credentials can take a broadside of that magnitude mate.

                    It’s fucking rubbish and anyone who thinks otherwise is a mahoosive looser.

                    Happy to confirm that CD1 of Digweed’s Sydney is still absolutely fucking superb.

                    Cheers!

                    Sydney CD 2 is just wayyyy to banging trance for me.

                      Ed having an absolute mar, as per.

                      My judgement is superior to all of yours on the basis I still go out clubbing twice a month.

                      I’m actually doing it, rather than talking about it!

                        Or rather I’m doing it and talking about it!

                        Rates Tenaglia - London but hates Holden’s Balance. What a queer fish altogether.

                        Got Holden’s Balance on now, am 27 minutes in and going to have to turn it off, so bad.
