Sasha And John Digweed* – Northern Exposure

Just purchased a NM copy of this. Not a scratch, pop, or hiss to be heard across any of the eight sides. Incredibly high quality pressing to have held up so well after all these years. Such a seminal album for me growing up — couldn’t be happier.

27 years young this week, making this one of the best electronic releases of all time, this album takes you to another place!

Очень хорошая техника сведения. Второй микс менее выдержан по настроению. У первого интересный урбанистический ореол. Оба они тяготеют, скорее, к фоновому прослушиванию.

What can I write that's not already been written on N.E.?
More than 20 years and still sounding incredible...
A very special for me this one, because well, i wasn't really in prog-house until four years ago! And i'm sixty two now (yes i swear it's true!
In fact I had been in rock, pop, indie, and after the climax of the magnificient nineties, having heard (and for some seen) Oasis, The Stone Roses, Primal Scream,TeenageFanClub and so, I considered pop-rock couldn't go higher and moved to more exotic countries like gothic-metal and prog-rock. This takes us far away from progressive-House isn't it? Right! But one day that i was looking for some new prog-rock record to buy, instead of "progressive-rock", I just typed "progressive" in the search box, and beetwen a Porcupine Tree and a Dream-Theater record, I saw this "INVOLV3R" thing by a bloke called Sasha. It was tagged "progressive house". Hum, what could this be? I lend an ear, and boy, I was done! After listening 10 times to it, i began looking what this guy had done before, and I discovered that he had made his first record with another bloke called Digweed, and the damn thing was called "Northern Exposure". I managed to get an mp3 version of the thing, and while listening to it I felt shivers, my eyes came wet with tears and in the same time i felt irresistible joy. Well, since then, i gave up rock music and began to explore this fascinating new musical continent. Now i know every record of Warren, Seaman, Cattaneo, Zabiella, Holden (balance 05 is my next target!) and many others. BUT this week is a very special week, because after years of hunt through records sites, I finally found an afordable and in goog shape digipack of the english (2cds) version of that "Northern Exposure" masterpiece and while the sound fills our living room,

Unpopular opinion - I don't think Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train) was a great fit for the second disc. Everything else, however is flawless (even after all these years).

I suspect Digweed was responsible for the ending of the second disc. He had a habit of throwing in mismatched tracks at the end of his mix CDs during this time. Take GU:Sydney (Albion - Air) and Bedrock 99 (Bedrock - Heaven Scent) as examples.

What is the track with the Kraftwerk sample on CD2. Does anybody know? Great mix that cd2 but as for who was the first DJ's to mix continuous tracks then it has to be the electro albums especially crucial side 1 (up until the abominable Rockit track!)

Funny as to how "rare" this is but almost a 1,000 people have a copy. Great tracks....yes....but yet another in the conundrum of ridiculous pricing.

Am I the only one who can hear a mix-fault/transition fault on 1 of these cd's? any knows who did mixed this cd? pls let me know in a comment if you did found the same mix-error by point out the targeted cd, the songs mentioned and the mix-in-time so I will aknowledge that. Furthermore, a good classic analoge mix on SL-1200's, good phrase and key mixed result, as that really was hard to accomplish back in the day, respect to these brothers, they gave new way for opportunities to others !

I've never known why the vinyl copy has a sticker on saying 4 x LP 22 tracks when there's 14. Was lucky enough to have mine signed by Sasha when he came to Massive Records in Birmingham, timeless album

I think everything that can be said or needed to be said about this compilation has already been said. I guess I will brag a little and say I have two copies, one of them is signed by both Sasha and John. :)
