Just got the album today, just started listening through disc 1 but i gotta say Trafik - Thought Line, sick track.
my full review of what I feel is Hernan's best effort to date (I only own this and vol. 1 of his renaissance comp, thought vol. 2 was bit too slow, never heard his perfecto mix).
Disc 1; First couple tracks are nice, set a dark mood, w/ first highlight being trafik - thought line, driving track. Then it flows well, nothing too noticeable for me until paolo mojo - 1983, which sounds more toned down then on Luke Fair's OS:3 (bedrock).
Then nice smooth deep groove until WOW - Wonka, another solid track, fun beat, solid kick to make you dance if you ever heard it live I imagine. 16 Bit Lolitas always put on a good showing, and passing lights is no different, enjoyable piece. Thought disc 1 closed out w/ nothing special but flow was great overall and nice.
Disc 2; My fav of the 2 discs, he wastes no time bringing on the beats starting with bushwacka, deep track, I like the vocals, moving into a trisco track. Progressive Sounds (entitled to their own opinion) railed on this track as being trisco's weakest effort to date, and while its no Muzak (nothing ever will be) its a good track in its placement on the cd.
The Union Jack track remixed by Chable was fun, I imagine it'd be better live but nothing too special. Cram it up your Cramhole is a fun track, its energetic but somehow keeps the progressive feel by not getting too uptemo. I really liked this 16 bit lolitas track over the other one, heard diggers spin this in a transitions show earlier, evil bassline, just killer track. Pulls back the energy for a couple tracks before releasing dan welton - lisopain, a banger for sure.
Continues the energy with Other Dye, nice track, some trancey synths sprinkled through out a deep chugging bassline. Then the mix just gets stronger with Muir's I feel real edited by hernan, again, fun drving track. Onto my personal favorite song of the mix, Eddie F - Breather....WOW, peak time goodness, hernan really does lay down the deepest bass lines, or masters the entire cd to be bottom heavy, either way it contrasts really nicely w/ the high pitched stabs repeated in this song. Onto hernan n tonk's track, an appropriate closer, brings down the energy a bit from breather but still keeps you dancing.
A really good mix cd, should be bought by people who's favorite progressive house djs are now spinning more electro and tech house than prog. Hernan really keeps the flow of the cd so well that most the songs could be rearranged and it'd still work. I give this 8/10, note that the only semi-recent mixes that i'v bought that I can rate higher than this are howell's GU 28 and maybe JZ's utilities, though possibly its a tie.
howell's GU is 27...
So far Cd 1 for me is off the hook..I heard CD2 a couple of times but my impressions thus far is that CD1 is way better...But i do have to give disc 2 another listen. To Phortatic, U have to listen to his perfecto Mix, especially CD2 its one of my fav. cd's till this day just absolutely gorgeous and flawless mixing as per usual with Hernan. One way or another I have always really enjoyed Hernan's work. He has always had and continues to have a pretty unique ever evolving taste in Music! Def. recommend picking this up along with disc 2 of his perfecto album. I also really liked renaissance masters volueme 1(I think i really enjoyed both cd's from that) and from Volume 2 CD2 was excellent as well
I love both discs, honestly.
CD2 is AMAZING imho. This is exactly what i love from Hernan
CD1 is also unbeLIEVABLE but JUST a bit behind CD2....
Way Out West - Wonka 
----> WOOOOOOW!!!!
Absolute prog-house bliss.
Heard this in a recent Nick Warren set and its 1 of my top tunes atm

I prefer cd 1 , it�s just awesome to listen to and enjoy 
I've bought and listened to Sequential and I must say Hern�n Catt�neo delivers yet another stunning compilation. Terrific stuff. 
i don't feel the tracklist appealing at all, but will give a chance to this
It should arrive monday. Ordered it @ play.com
Dousk's Florence gave me the goosebumps. Fucking good track!

Quality CD, mixing is perfect, so smooth.
These things keep me more and more away from trance idd I just knew a few tracks, but that one with the Slam Acapella is the best (can't remember the titel right now)
8/10

Have been a fan of Hernan's for quite some time now, and now that I listened to Sequential a lot, I can honestly say that it is without a doubt a worthy follower for his Master series.
Mixing is impeccable, tracklisting couldn't be better. It runs just like it should, no fillers on here whatsoever.
(bumping an older thread....)
Holy hell!
I'd never heard any of Hernan Cattaneo's work before I found out about this album - this is EXCELLENT stuff. Definitely checking out the previous two albums....
Also, I wonder what Nick Muir - I Feel Real (Hernan Cattaneo Edit) does to a dance floor.
i'm only half a year behind LOL but man this rocks. 1983 is owning me
This is by far one of the best (if not the best!) compilations I�ve ever heard.
Awesome track selection, brilliant and flawless mixing, and it flows smoothly. Simply genius.
