I bought this on a whim at a now defunct record store in New Brunswick, NJ in 1994. I was already quite a fan of lighting at night clubs and since video was in a way part of that, I felt I owed it to myself to buy a rave graphics VHS tape. Well on first impression I wasn't blown away by this tape. It was actually too advanced from what I was expecting. I wanted to see flashing fractiles and poorly rendered 3D objects. Most of the graphics on this tape were smooth and crisp looking, far too advanced for the gritty dance music that I enjoyed at the time.

It wasn't until I saw this tape played _many times_ at the rave club, "The Frieght Yard" in Allentown, PA that I started to like it. They played it so many times I'm surprised the tape didn't snap! This tape is kind of like a mediocure song you hear on the radio. You hear it so many times that you end up loving it. Well that was my impression of this tape. The one graphic that stayed with me is actually the first one, the red bending lines. I feel that is the most appealing sequence on the whole tape.

I've since bought the DVD compilations of X-Mix so I'll be able to enjoy this again since I no longer own a VHS player.

Garnier's first ever mixed CD on the market & what a timeless piece of MIX !!!! Laurent knows how to make music sounds emotional & the way he mixes "deviant behaviour" into "french" would even bring a tears to your eyes

This mix shows that techno does have to be about throwing down thirty five loop tools in an hour to prove your skills. Laurent's mixes are extremely drawn out to the point of creating new tunes from the two records playing over the top of each other - in some instances he mixes the next track in for almost three minutes. Its a shame nobody still makes music like this anymore - stuff that incorporates house tempo and rhythms, the melody and beauty of trance, the futuristic sounds and effects of techno and with a pinch of acid thrown in for good measure. One of my top ten mix cd's without a doubt. Timeless and mesmerising.

Laurent Garnier is a master at the turntables. this mix is outstanding ! 1 long track with songs blended perfectly and choosing such bizarre beautiful groovy stuff like here just amazes me . maybe the best mix i ever heard .extra ordinairè
