Carl Cox - F.A.C.T. - 01-Apr-05 01:09 PM
Some of the mixing is less than perfect, but fans of Coxy will know that this isn't what he's about - the first CD in particular is brilliantly constructed. From the way Jeff Mills "Late Night" gently fades into "Meet My Modem" to Stone Circle "Deep in You" giving way for the thumping and squelching of Thomas Heckmanns "Phosphene". CD 2 is a more trancey affair, showcasing some of the finest Euro trance/ techno labels, including Eye Q, R, Trope, Suck Me Plasma and F-Communications.

A classic mix and a true snapshot of what Cox was playing at the time.

File under 'must have'.

Saint Etienne - Only Love Can Break Your Heart (Remix) - 01-Apr-05 01:09 PM
The Andy Weatherall mix features the sample (famously used in Paul Oakenfold's Goa Mix);

"The DJ eases a spliff, from his lyrical lips, and smilingly orders....CEASE!"

Which comes in halfway through the record, hence the 'Mix of Two Halves' title. It's a slightly mellower mix of the original, and very in line with his Sabres of Paradise material.

BT - Mercury And Solace (Disc 3) - 22-Mar-05 02:21 PM
My favourite mix of this track, very similar to the original mixes and only really differs in the arrangement. Uses the vocal samples to good effect and has a much more ethereal, trancier feel. If you like the original tune this is well worth tracking down.

Yello - On Track (The Mixes) - 13-Mar-05 06:02 AM
I first heard this track on Paul Van Dyk's Essential Mix from 1997, and then made it my mission to track down a copy. Mission accomplished several years later with two of these (beautifully presented) records, one of which is locked away for my grandchildren :)

Doug Laurent's First Journey Dub is the mix you want - an unmistakable riff, galloping baseline and a sweet breakdown. True classic.

Prodigy, The - Smack My Bitch Up (Slacker Mix) - 09-Nov-04 01:31 PM
The reason this mix never got released was due to Slacker leaving XL Recordings - XL were unable to release the record due to copyright reasons. This is the same reason Virus 'Hypnotise' was never released when Paul Oakenfold left Warner Music.

Great shame as it is an awesome take on the original tune with that thundering bassline. Whenever I've heard this played to a crowd the place always errupts.
