It’s a lot less disjointed that the Balance one too

gave this another shot today, it’s awful, there’s no debate. maybe there are a couple of good tracks in there, but you’d never know as none of them last more than 30 seconds. if this were a vinyl mix, at least it would’ve taken some technical skill, but as is, it’s a flow-less mess.

edit: oh and i forgot to mention that ‘god’ track. what the fuck was that? he would’ve been better off putting game master in the middle of the mix.

    Mad_Cyril i tried to be open-minded given some of the reviews, but it’s objectively terrible. made it to track 38 on the second mix this time, was a complete waste. i have no idea why anyone likes it, but to each their own.

      Received my CD yesterday and blasted it today, and enjoyed it immensily. Yes, I bought it twice. Suck it haters.

      I have also been daydrinking today. Not sure if that factors in.

      Did you buy it twice to enjoy throwing it away doubly ?

      or are you just looking for matching book ends.

      not sure what you’re drinking ? ! Meths ?

      Buying it twice?

      Listening to it once was bad enough.

      It’s class. Comp of the year contender.

        Completely agree. Been playing it for the last few weeks… superb.

          I think it will endure. The individual tracks don’t age when they are melded together with such skill. Dynamic and funky techno interspersed with his own tracks at exactly the right moments make it an excellent listen. I saw Voorn for the first time last NYE at Fabric and he is a class DJ.

            Voorn seems to me to be like math formula music. “This track is C Major this other one A Minor beep boop beep boop beep boop boop….mix”. It might sound okay but I never feel like there’s any edge or dynamism or spontaneity.

            Jonattan why are you wasting your time NOT doing the 2005 Essential Mix rundown?

              Interesting that endure has two meanings.

              Meanings that neatly sum up yours and mine opposing opinions of Voorns GU;

              1. Suffer (something painful or difficult)

              2. Remain in existence; last.

                  Mad_Cyril Opinions…Interesting that it appears to have split the board right down the middle. Did you listen to it all the way through? I own many enduring albums that I didn’t like the first time I heard them.

                    I’m almost done, my man. Work has just been crazy the past fortnight or so. I have #1 and #52 in the books. Most of the rest are sorted. Just a few in the top 10 that need arranging. I’m taking this very, very seriously.
