Mad_Cyril not sure, but I absolutely want him to stop

Talking of 1997, Michael Jordan was on the verge of his second three-peat. Did you get the tattoo around this time or after he had completed the feat?

Are you trying to reduce me, David? Have at you!

Dave’s completely underestimated poor old jonny whatever his name was’ time spent doing a review of ess mixes for an entire year. You need to rank them all too.

Have to say though, I expected you to make it further than the 26th January, dave!

Take 5 mins, abuse ed and get back into it. It’ll be March before you know it…

bosstrabs I don’t know if I can do the whole year. Can I hand the baton over to someone else for the Feb mixes? @Mad_Cyril ?

Not sure I could do it Dave, you’ve made a terrific start, got that viral Netflix documentary vibe - we’re not sure where this is going, but can sense the protagonist is a wrongun and it’s likely not going to end well.

I think Dave’s cream crackered already because he hasn’t reviewed a single PEAK TIME POWER PROG mix.

    Do you understand how chronology works Smallman?

      I know of this bloke’s ‘legendary’ status, but this is a horrid mix of clunky vocal tracks and clumsy segues e.g. Get Up into This Could Be The Night. With big vocals and pianos everywhere, this is like listening to a shit Morales. 6/10

        A wonderful snapshot of its time, clearly a one-take mix with no tidying-up in the editing, it’s genuinely evocative of a main room at probably 3am-5am back in the day. Pure shivers as The Reese Project - Direct-Me (Sasha’s 3am Drop Mix) is dropped. Drifts into fondue territory soon after with Rocket Man into Not Over Yet and then plain weird Apocalypse Now territory with the Morrison-sampling ‘Stoned’. It’s a really difficult mix to give a simple mark to, so out of respect it I’ll say the highs outweigh the lows and give it 7.5/10.

          bosstrabs Do you understand how chronology works Smallman?

          Lol!

          Fair dos!

          alistair Get up was ubiquitous that year. Horrible.

          Spent some time with Byron Stingily in Ibiza that year.

          He was an absolute clown.

          KLANG.

            Smallman1 is it true Byron Stingily was a Carl Cox sub project?

            Smallman1 Too much of the ol Movin’ movin’ slidin’ slidin’, rockin’ ?

            You can have half a lol for that SD!

            Anyone for a guest slot? 02-16 is Masters at Work and 02-23 is Nick Warren.

            How about a Tim Burgess like listening party for the prog ones starting with Nick Warren? Tin hat at the ready!

              If I never listened to another Nick Warren set in my life I’d absolutely be ok.
