Notes

℗ 2006 Resist Music Ltd. & © 2006 System Recordings. Manufactured, marketed and distributed by The Greenwich Music Group.

Barcode: 820997109025

Catalog number printed as SYS1090-2

Track 8 is not mentioned on the back tracklist, instead it lists 9 twice, with the first incorrectly labeled as Harmonia - Watussi and the second correctly labeled as Holden - 10101. The correct track for 8, Midi Miliz - Trace Function, is correctly labeled in the booklet.

The CD has four different covers that could be changed by folding the inlay sheet back to the preferred selection.

Rated 5/5
Review by andyman5 Apr 01, 2008
Devestating and deep mix from one of the forerunners of newbreed digital dj's, Mr. James Holden. Ableton Live is amazing software and especially in the right hands and here it is used to perfection to mix some very sublime tracks with techno and minimal interspersed with neo-folk and ambient.

This is a lay on your floor with the headphones on and drift away kind of mix that is stunningly original. It is frankly amazing that Mr. Holden is able to meld so many tracks together from such different genre's and retain a sound consistent with that of a completed album. It is the rare mix where an artist or DJ can so completely disappear in the music of choice and this is the finest example of that I've heard.
