Notes

Extra track information:
1-8 track title is shown as 'Quattara' on the rear inlay and inside the booklet. The correct spelling of the track, 'Qattara' has been used here.
2-3 is incorrectly listed as Always On My Mind, the track featured here is the B side 'Enter'
2-5 is not listed but is the KLM Remix
2-6 is listed as 'Funny Walker - The Difference'. The title is 'Funny Walker' & the artist is 'The Difference', and has been shown here.
Tracks 2-17 to 2-19 credits are printed incorrectly - the credits for 2-17 are shown under 2-18 and credits for 2-18 are shown under 2-19 in the booklet. These have been attached correctly here, with no credits shown for 2-19 as these are missing from the booklet.

A 3CD special edition version also exists, see Essential Mix Volume Three.

    Seamen’s mix here stands out. A shame it wasn’t longer. But: more than the sum of its parts even if only with 6 tracks ( all strong ): played compulsively for a good while. Uplifting, driving prog house: way out west remix, stress label stuff… lots of vocals… chakra - I am one etc —- visions is a cool track still

    Can’t say ever listened much to Derrick Carter mix - sounds a bit like a bus ride. Frustrating and propulsive in equal measure

    Tong - take it or leave it with customary bouncy stuff progressing into harder, trancier fare … T-Empo The Blue Room my favourite here… had it anyway on blue vinyl. A lovely summery piano/ vocal prog type cut

    First half of Jules is serviceable before it transitions into top buttoned w@nker brigade music

    After this comp there seemed to be a concerted attempt to get more tracks on this format… remember reading a review at the time in mixmag or similar publication denouncing the dearth of material on the mixes. So #4 was pretty epic. Oakie’s mix etc…

      Best one of the Essential Mix compilations so far, CD1 mixes smoothly between house and trance and both the mixes on this CD compliment each other. The first mix is quite housey, nothing too deep or boring though, it's mostly vocal stuff. It ends moving into more trancey stuff which sets the tone for the next mix which is some great progressive trance. Definately one of the better non-charty mix CDs from 1996. Tongs mix, again ghost-mixed by Charlie Brook at wise buddah.

      CD2 isn't anywhere near as good in my opinion. The first mix on here starts out really well, but soon decends into wierd repetative booty house stuff, rhythm masters style. A shame, as it starts out really well and there is a promo-mix of Stretch and Vern - I'm Alive on here, it's very different to the official releases and I think it might be either (Like It A Lot Mix) or (Disco Dub) off this: https://www.discogs.com/Stretch-Vern-Present-Maddog-Im-Alive/release/167188
      I don't own it yet, but will report back when I do pick it up! Either way it's a nice change to the regular mix that gets cained.
      The final mix on here is deep house, techy stuff that I'm really not in to at all, again it starts really well; actually it starts REALLY well, with this acapella of a track I'd not heard before 'Blair - Life?'. I had a listen to the todd terry original on youtube and that's an amazing track if you like uplifting vocal house from 1995 amazed it didn't get on more mixes, and practically the only time it does in the 90s is this acapella! Crazy.
      My ratings system:
      (303 out of 500) A solid, well deserved 3 stars. Will definitely be listening to CD1 again soon!

        Anyone got any info on 2.05 (Fanny Flow - Kiss Of Life) ?
        This version isn't on any of the releases, but there was also a Digital Blondes Remix (on Manifesto Christmas Crackers)
        that doesn't appear on any of the releases on discogs. Any info would be great. Been wanting this tune since 1996.
