o yea dat was the shiznitt

Have to agree Balance 005 is hands down one of the best.

It stands right up there with all the classic GU and Renaissance mix CDs, IMO.

+1

005 stands up to successive listens better than essentially everything else in my collection. Whether it's revisiting old moments for nostalgic purposes, or just taking another glimpse at one of the most finely crafted mix comps I've ever come across, 005 has a charm that I've yet to exhaust.

This one? Already got it.

It turned my mate into liking this kind of music, so definitely something special. Oshawa is one of my favorites on it.

Didn't like it at first, apart from a few songs ("Ghetto Server" and "Forme" both being very underappreciated)... but taking a listen in the more contemporary state of dance music makes me realize just how forward thinking and ahead of its time this album was.

I think Balance 005 is much, much better.

Is Balance 005 available for digital purchase somewhere? I just have it in CD format.

I just heard disc 1 so far and that was the most unversatile generic discs Ive heard. every song sounds the same and there's really no huge stand out tracks. all those overrated tracks that I already knew about like you are sleeping, these days etc. those are played out to death and they're just simply overrated. lol so sofar listening to disc 1, it doesnt even hold a candle to the 1994 rennasiance mix. yall are buggin on some chemicals. balance 005 will never ever touch it and I doubt disc 2 will make a difference

Now I'm just starting to wonder if you're even real.

Originally posted by Mattsanity how is disc 1 even remotely special or even remotely close to disc 1 from the ill ass 1994 rennaisance mix alone?? im sorry but balance 005 just doesnt cut it

Personal preference is personal preference, but you're still Mattsanity - and that's something we can all agree you will always be.

I'm glad Balance 005 isn't Holden's sound anymore. I prefer at the Controls far better.

Anyways, the PQM track.. etc are great but it doesnt fit for me as much as Hernan: Perfecto presents South America. That is the first time I heard the track and I will nevar forget.

Every song sounds the same? Are we listening to the same mix?
Also, stop trying so hard with the ill ass language, son.

NOT to take sides with Mr. Mattsanity here, but you're out of your mind.

I know im controversial.
I never cared much for that CD, i can't stand diva vocals.

Why do you even have to compare Balance to Renaissance? Renaissance is something completely different, compilation that was hugely important and influental, and it'll probably never be topped. That doesn't mean Balance is bad, it's just different. Take it for what it is (instead of comparing it to R all the time) and you'll be able to appreciate it for what it is.

Why purchase it in digital format when you can rip it to any digital audio format you want yourself if you own the CD, Einstein?

Seriously, do you take crack before posting on TA?

Never listened to it but the first track is one of my favorites . have to get it

Balance 005 is a bit overhyped it's fair but not competing in the same leauge as for ex. Sasha & John Digweed - Northern Exposure
