Most Enduring Commercial Mix Comps

Smallman1

The path to true love never did run smooth Zackster.

And ultimately she missed out.

On a life of horrendous techno and meeting me at Output.

Yours, as always, Ed!

alistair FFS Danny 🙄

RichM

loved this when it first came out, was a whole different sound to me back then. Sounds great still in my opinion

Amps

RichM Not sure I ever heard the mix, but have all the vinyl from these releases. Some great stuff on there.

zackster

@Smallman1 lol yeah thing is, she is now married to some older Japanese dude who works for the NY Times, and looks like he is out of central casting (as Don would say) for the role of yakuza boss in a Jerry Bruckheimer film.

So yes, she did miss out.

zackster

The bonus disc from Way Out West’s “Don’t Look Now” almost made my list.

Amps

zackster Haven’t listened to it in ages, but maybe got more listens than the album?

zackster

Amps I was joking as I don’t know RichM, so I didn’t want to bust his balls. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING has aged worse than mid 00s prog breaks.

Mad_Cyril

Still listen to….

Tom Middleton - Sounds of the Cosmos
EBTG - Back to mine
Oakenfold - Ministry Sessions 2
David Harness - Nude Dimensions Vol 2
Holloway & Eastwick - Hard Times Seasons (Green)
X Press 2 - Late night sessions

Mad_Cyril This probably would have been 6 on my list. One of my all time favorites and I think it has held up wonderfully.

Smallman1

Mad_Cyril Tom Middleton - Sounds of the Cosmos

Great shout!

Mad_Cyril Tom Middleton - Sounds of the Cosmos

Good call that. Haven’t given it a go in ages but the triple LP was put to good use for warm up gigs back then. I can see it still standing up today.

My bird at the time loved “Misty Blu” or however it’s spelled.

EDIT looking now that’s one hellava tracklist. And I’ll ride for that sunglasses/blue Monday edit/mix. Cheesy, sure. Don’t care.

Nice one, MC - I’m gonna fire up the hifi and stick the actual CD on today.

Smallman1 Oakey’s 007 is the compilation I most return to.

And without naming names, someone in this very thread hasn’t ever heard it, I’m staying schtum though!

I’ve genuinely listened to disc 2 of that about 4 times this week. I suspect you’ll struggle to process that information.

Hugo, you’ve gone up in my estimation!

Amps

zackster I hear you, but there is still some proper gold there to be had. I was so bang into it at the time.

RichM

zackster agree a lot of it hasn’t aged well, but think that mix has, but I’m biased as have always loved it

The Coldcut and Josh Wink choices are great shouts.

The James Lavelle mix on the Tribal Gathering 96 comp is up there for me too

Mad_Cyril

zackster Which one Zack?

zackster

Amps No doubt. I loved Phil K’s disc of that renaissance comp.

zackster

lol. here we go. he isn’t talking, but…

Dan

zackster I saw him at the ministry and he got an umbrella out during one of the tracks 🤔

Smallman1

What a prog rollercoaster we’ve been on.

Wouldn’t change it for the world.

Best. Genre. Ever.
