    I recently went on a road trip with my wife and I had this playing in the car stereo. It hit me that this is probably one of the most well sequenced and well thought mix compilations I've ever heard. What makes it so great is that Sasha and Digweed didn't care about including the latest club hits just for the sake of being "hot". They took tracks which were several years old and fused them in because it was best suited to create a whole cohesive journey. This is beyond good. And it haven't aged a bit. This is the compilations that each and every other compilation should use as a yard stick. Essential stuff!

        Embarrassingly - despite owning the 4 x 12” LP, I never actually sat down and listened to the two mixes by these two fellas … for almost 30 years! I don’t know why my stubbornness in ‘96 refused to listen to it: Renaissance 1 and 2 were - and still are - my favourite mixes… possibly I thought it would be too ambient or something similarly silly

        My God it’s good! I know most of the tracks inside out from mixing them every which way over the years… yet neither mix gets boring.

        Every song a heavyweight, not a dud in there with each mix supremely crafted … Pete Lazonby’s Wavespeech is such a weird deep dark monster for example… but it slots in effortlessly before Evolution pulls the listener out of the slum

        In contrast to the slew of crap Ministry Annuals, Cream Anthems et al which followed the first Renaissance mix in 1994, this is hands down one of the best and still most unique DJ mixes I’ve heard.

        I know it’s a trad/ trite thing to say - but they really don’t make music like this anymore!

        Superb

        … Ha! Mad - I’d come up with that final 3 track sequence myself! … Guess it’s a no brainer

        Oh well … glorious

        Here’s a remastered mix with some additional stuff at the end - sounds bloody amazing

          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.

              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.

                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 !

                  People goin off on this being made on protools :)
                  Its like blaming the blues guitars of the 30s tofor using acoustic guitars.
                  This project was more about the feel of the time, iot was something you played summernights after being up too long and just wanted some "getting down" music,after being to clubs and listening to djs for two days :)
                  Take it for what it is.
                  If you like hiphop, maybe the first devin album isnt the nr 1 classic you come up with,but damn it works after been out , come home to a nachspiel and smoking a fat one...
                  Every album is different..if you take this album to the club in 2022 i understand why so emotional :)

                    Since this release turned 25 years old this week, I feel like it’s appropriate to share the little-known fact that there was actually supposed to be a 20th anniversary reissue. Searching online the Ministry of Sound catalog number of MOSCD465 generates numerous music record shopping website placeholders for such a release. Unfortunately it never saw a release, as did a number of other MoS releases in 2016. The likely reason is probably due to regaining the copyrights to include all the necessary tracks. Otherwise it would have faced track omissions and replacements; similar to the 10th anniversary reissue of Sasha and Digweed’s Renaissance mix. Hypothetically, Northern Exposure could have seen a 25th anniversary reissue had there not been a pandemic and such a milestone would have triggered more effort into getting such a release accomplished. If Ministry of Sound gets their new release efforts back and running, they should do a series reissue that also includes Northern Exposure 2.

                      pretentious self-obsessed pseudo-spiritual hippy nonsense complete with pillaried tesco value world music cd ethnic wailing on disc 1. Drop 12 tabs of Orange Sunshine and Get some Claude Young or DJ Randall down yer gullet, then you will see what a dj can do live with two turntables and not pro-tools!
