Steve Bug - Fabric 37 Feb 04, 2009
I was surprised to see this mix was rated under 4/5 and the review above wasn't all that positive.

I thought this is one of the better albums from the Fabric series.

The album is a mash up between tech house and minimal. I'd say it's what you'd expect to hear from Steve Bug.

I felt the album is really strong until about track 15 where it slows down a bit and looses the pace. Before that it's deep and banging, after track 15 the mix seems a bit confused as to where he wants to take it.
This isn't my favourite mix from Fabric but I'm more into tech house/minimal techno.

This is mostly a progressive mix as you'd expect from John Digweed but there's some electro and tech house thrown in there as well. I found it interesting to see Digweed use Joe Mull, Adam Traber and Slam in the same mix.

The mix is very coherent despite it being a bit of a mash up. To sum it up, I'd say it's eclectic but not memorable.
I think this is a great mix CD. Though it's listed above as deep house and down tempo I think it's more like deep tek house. It starts off funky and upbeat then progresses to deep, tek house. Ground Level's beautiful samples the bass line from Mr. fingers Can You Feel. Symbiosis - Oxygen is somewhat reminiscing of Flat beat by Mr. Oizo. Tribulation - Why is fairly deep and dub.
Very classic stuff ranging from deep garage, tech house, early electronic. Very good production on "set me free" I would reccomend this album to anyone that likes the "old skool" sound.
Classic house, the synth sounds are very similar to the ones found on 'Show Me Love' by Robin S and 'Plastic Dreams' by Jaydee.
