Always thought 007 was a mix of some good tracks badly put together. Sure I remember hearing Oakey fucked up the mix so bad they had to get some guy in the office to do it, which sounds about right.
Never listened to the balance mix as the essential mix was enough to put me off listening to him ever again. He clearly didn’t know what he was doing. Have been tempted to listen to it after the comments on here, but when some of those people really rate 007 it does make me think I’d be wasting my time.
