One of the defining records of the "rave" scene, and really well produced too. This release was a big inspiration for L.T.J. Bukem* - Demon's Theme / A Couple Of Beats (as Jam1 notes below, Bukem sampled various elements from Nice One Boy and Psycho Missus), and its sound had a big impact on...

Worth highlighting that Holy Ghost Inc.'s "Jihad" is actually 6:12 long, but for some weird reason, the first half of the tune is contained within the previous track on the CD. Also seems like this is the only place you can get this early version of...

This is a great collection of tracks, but it's worth noting that most of them blend into each other (although not in a full-on, DJ-style mix). As a result, most tracks start and end with overlaps from the previous and next tracks. These overlaps tend...

Anyone have any idea where the “back to the old school” vocal sample comes from?

Many of the tracks on this specific release feature a voiceover saying "you're listening to [track name] from Pendulum's forthcoming album, Hold Your Colour" which basically ruins each of the affected the tracks. Fortunately though, this voiceover is...

Pretty sure the remix of Kemistry that appears here is the same as the "headz instrumental" version that appears on Rufige Cru* - Reinforced Presents: Rufige Cru - The Early Plates. That's a digital release only - you can find it here:...

Step_Up Not sure if this is what you're asking, but I have the CD version of L.T.J. Bukem* / MC Conrad - Promised Land (Volume One), and the track titled "West Coast" on the second disc of that release... See full review |

If you're interested in this release for Matt Darey's remix of Moloko's "The Time Is Now", you're in luck – the file appears to have been sourced from a digital master, and it doesn't suffer from the digital clipping that affects the audio on the CD...

If you're buying this in the hopes of getting a clean, digital version of Matt Darey's remix, be warned: the mastering of this specific track appears to have been botched by the label, and there are various points throughout the track where the levels...

I've got a version of this on a mix tape with an extra female rap on it (presumably also by Franschene Allen), which starts just after the halfway mark. It doesn't seem to be any of the versions listed here (I've got the PWL single), and it doesn't seem to...

The riff on "Red Lion" sounds a bit like Cappella - U Got 2 Know
|
|
Given when each track was released, it seems like Way Out West may have sampled Alliance's "First Impressions" in Way Out West Featuring Miss Joanna Law* - The Gift

Unfortunately, I think Bedrock79 is right – the version that appears in that Digweed Essential Mix doesn't seem to appear on any of the releases currently listed here on Discogs. in reference to dj_norf_yurksha's second comment above, the EM...

Note that the version of Resistance D’s “Cosmic Love” that appears here is edited, and shorter than the original.

TBH, even the digital version of "Hot In The Heels…" sounds like it's 'off'… but I suspect that's intentional. The version that appeared on the vinyl release of Carl Cox - F•A•C•T was slightly better balanced IMO (especially in terms of the bass), but I think...

Light Cycles contains the same sample as Boogie Times Tribe's "The Dark Stranger"

The Andrew Weatherall Mix is one of the most enchanting examples of early progressive house you'll find. Just the right blend of groove, melancholy melodies, and movement. Weatherall's longer mix on the 12" delivers the full experience, but the Drum...

Absolute gem of a track. One of the defining tracks of the harder trance sound from late 1993 / early 94. This was the opening track from Snap's seminal Essential Mix for Pete Tong / Radio 1 on 01 Jan 1994. If you like this, I'd also recommend Solar...

An absolutely delicious slice of vinyl. It's as moody as it gets, but there's plenty of variation in there to keep things moving. This is up there with a lot of the Yoshitoshi / Shinichi / SAW progressive stuff, and would fit well in a set with tracks...

If you're buying this compilation for the original mix of "Chime", note that the version that appears here has some channel balance issues, especially towards the start of the track. The left channel dips in and out for about 40 seconds between 00:40...

It's worth noting that if you buy this as a digital release (e.g. from Beatport or Juno Download) instead of as a CD, you seem to get full-length, unmixed versions of each of the tracks on CD 1, as well as the mix that features on CD1 of this double pack CD.

An absolute gem of a jungle compilation. Beautiful melodies and rich, warm atmospheres over well-constructed, constantly evolving breaks. If you're looking for something a little different from the typical 'hardcore' jungle sound, this compilation is...

The Ashoshashoz mix is a real hidden gem. The synth breakdown halfway through is a moment of true Sasha greatness.

The Acid Rock Mix is an absolute monster of a track that has stood the test of time better than almost any other track I've heard. Glorious.

Great collection of techno tracks – well worth tracking down a copy of this EP.
|
|
Vertices is one of my favourite tracks of all time – idyllic melodic techno
|
|
My copy of this seems to include the sound of CD skips as an integral part of the recording on CD 1 Track 21 ("The Color Of Her Hair"). Not sure if this is common to all recordings, but worth noting if this is an important part of this box set for you.

This may be one of the best vocal trance tracks ever. The Whiteroom remix is my favourite, and gives me chills that are only really matched by the other collaboration from Filo & Pero and Fisher, "Ordinary Moment". Definitely one for the connoisseurs.
|
|
This is one of my all-time favourite tracks - a constantly evolving blend of different riffs with a cracking breakbeat bringing it all together. All of the mixes are great, but each one is slightly different in terms of strength and energy. Similar in...

Might be useful to know that Yage's "Calcium" also appears on Future Sound of London's "Accelerator" album (with FSOL as the artist). I'm not sure if it's not exactly the same mix as the one here, but if you're looking for a copy of Calcium on CD,...

Superb old school track. From that magical period towards the end of 1991 when all the best 'real' hardcore tracks came out. Intense 6 is up there with tracks like Pandemic's "Slammin", Visa's "Let Me See Ya Move", The Hypnotist's "Hardcore You Know...

Worth noting that track 2-12 - Sub-Stance's "Urban Sea" - is a rather crude edit of the original (which is more than a minute longer). There are 2 abrupt jump cuts in this version, just after the breakdown, which mean the track loses a lot of its magic.
