  • Most Enduring Commercial Mix Comps

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.

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

              Hugo, you’ve gone up in my estimation!

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

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

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

                        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.

                          What a prog rollercoaster we’ve been on.

                          Wouldn’t change it for the world.

                          Best. Genre. Ever.

                            Mad_Cyril Tom Middleton - Sounds of the Cosmos

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

                                Smallman1 I had my drugs epithany at the 2nd birthday, I think it was? Qued up for 2 hours to get in, I remember hearing Netherworld and The Arc by Arcane for the first time I thought the walls were caving in. Great times

                                  Smallman1 I heard Sasha drop Ruhe’s Schiller in Sydney in 2004, again, mamma mia!

                                  He played it in Fabric a couple of years ago. Magnificent record.

                                    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
