Notes

This 3LP set has the same tracklist as the 1CD mix version (Butterfly/Big Life BFLCD21).
A 2CD version was also released (Butterfly/Big Life BFLCD21X) with two further tracks on the bonus CD.

A1 is an edited and shortened version of the original 19 minutes version but still retains its title.

Rated 2/5
Review by Stakkertoo Jan 27, 2006 (edited over 3 years ago)
I was very excited when this album was released as it contains Alpha Wave in its Plastikmans Acid House Remix form. One of the best tunes of all time. I was so disappointed when i found it had been edited down from 19 mins to 11 mins, which for me removes the essence of the tune, the monstrous breakdown and crescendo. The other tracks on the album are pretty average and I wouldn't have bought them otherwise, paint by numbers remixing.
Rated 5/5

This package contains the best moments that System 7 gave to mankind - maybe apart from the live experience.
Without dwelging too deep, as I could go on and on about any of these tracks - it's diverse due to the different remixers - but sums up as a solid masterpiece. It includes excellent drum n bass material, intense trance-a-la System 7, full-on-plastikman, chill n bass - and if you consider the co-writers of this material and not just the remixers, you get Derrick May, Alex Paterson, Laurent Garnier, Tony Thorpe, Youth...
It's definitely a treasure to me.
