Only cd2 impressed me and the trastition from halcyon to the next track was so horrible id rather've not had it on the cd at all.

Actually, it was a bottle of whiskey and "some additional supplements" that did it. Source

I hated that same transition myself, but there were some great tracks on both discs and CD 1 has grown on me.

Then, literally the day before it was due I threw away all my lists and plans and sat down with all the tracks Balance had cleared for me (about seventy total), a bottle of whiskey, and some additional supplements to keep me awake through the night and just did both discs one after the other without thinking about the direction, apart from disc one which I thought should be a bit more chill to begin with in order to ease the listener into the journey.

Yeah, it shows..

...and adding as some stated above John '00' Fleming - White Label Republic to "my" list.

//edit - nasty typo.

+1 for White Label Republic

Check out Fundacion for sure, Balance 008, GU28, Zabiela's new renaissance cd and Sander's new Everybody on tour with Lee Burridge.

1. Hawtin DE9 Transitions
2. Sasha - Fundacion nyc
3. Danny Howells GU027 Miami
4. John Digweed - Fabric 20
5. Desyn - Balance 008

As much as the mixing in 008 was eh, I love the fact that Desyn mixed it like he did, instead of using ableton or something like that. The mix is raw and its him as a DJ, getting trashed and enjoying the music he loves while sharing it with other people.

And Fundacion, at the least, gets ranked this high because the mixing is absolutely gorgeous.

Hawtin's CD was just insane.

Lawl... that's probably my favorite transition on the whole CD...

My choices:

Matthew Dekay - Trousy
Desyn - Balance 008
Warren - GU 028

from the few cd's i've listened to, fabric 20.

fundacion was mediocre at best. utilities wasn't bad but zabiela can clearly do better. gu 27 was quite cool but not memorable. zero gold i could never get into it. balance 007 was very nice, but not solid enough throughout the whole 3 cd's.

I buy tons of mix cd's. There has been a bunch of really good ones this year. Many mentioned above.

But knowbody has mentioned my favorite at the moment.

Steve Lawler 'Lights Out Volume 3'

Love the retro synth sound.

Miami '05 or is that going into proggy.

Posted by Chris Larkin on Dec-13-2005 12:01:

Everyone's gone all prog here, so to push the boat out a bit:

Above & Beyond - Anjunabeats Volume 3
Ronski Speed - Monster Series Volume #001
Solarstone - Destinations Volume 1

Fuse presents Joris Voorn

Posted by raveside on Dec-19-2005 05:13:

I agree Steve Lawlers Lights out volume III special edition is the shit.
All three discs are excellent.

Desyn Masiello - Balance 008

Posted by dark_tenshi on Dec-19-2005 05:28:

Nice to see so many prog mentions on TA. My vote goes to Digweed's Fabric. Balance 8 is quite good too, but not as good as I expected.
