best. CD. ever.

CD1 >

omg i fap to this CD while it plays

Finally managed to get a promo

Next time I hit up a cd store, definitely going to pick this up

I am not 1337 enough to have a copy yet.

Got the promo 2 days ago, and have only listened to CD2 as i layed down last night....

After ONE listen, tracks 1,3,5 are BONKERS
Musta passed out around track 7

Unbelievable.

The best Balance since 005, and I've only listened to the first disc!

Will give a more detailed review later today when I've had a chance to listen to the whole thing, but the reviews of disc one were spot on - this one will go down as one for the ages.

Going to listen on the way to work today.

Stooooked.

I've listened to the first cd today and it was absolute massacre. I already knew the second half of it from the sampler and I liked the first part even more.

Will listen to both discs tomorrow.

I haven't gotten around to Disc 2 yet because I'm still listening to Disc 1 over and over. Amazing.

CD1 = gorgeous
CD2 = ZOMG PARTAAAAAAAAAAAAY

I had high expectations for this Balance, and they've been far surpassed.

Brilliant.

Stop it, you guys are making me salivate, and I haven't heard the full version yet. I'm going to buy this the first day it's out. God I've been waiting so long for an amazing mix like this.

dam how hard is it to wait for the official release?

Its such a good feel to buy it or to get it in the post.

What language are you speaking, Harold? Your second line made no sense. If you mean the sampler, I already have it and listened to it.

the progression of those 3 tunes is so damn good.

i mean the whole thing is, obviously.. but those 3 tunes in particular just get me off.

seems like people are scoring supposed "promos" and listening. instead of just waiting til the actual release. I prefer the experience of receiving my purchased in the post or getting it from the store, going home and enjoying it.

I've listened to both CDs from start to finish.
As highly-touted this release was, it did NOT disappoint

Honestly, i think its great. Prototypical Luke Fair sound

CD1 is the more mellow of the 2 as expected.
Deep and funky progressive and house with a dreamy element, always keeping a smooth, chilled groove throughout.

CD2 brings more energy and a club feel.
Still Luke's signature funky-rhythmic-melodic house sound with a solid underlying, driving progressive-house groove.
This disc has several BANGIN progressive-house trax that would destroy a club when dropped.


The common denominator in these 2 discs (as i mentioned) is the groove.
Beautifully free-flowing and positive the whole way thru and never seems dull...
...which is EXACTLY what i love so much about house

A definite must-hear....even a must-have

Fuckin eh for the Torontonian

Freakin' nice I must admit! What a style, what a groove, fantastic!

stop trying so hard, lol. i've already got this pre-ordered, and i'm sure most of us (at least the people i know in this thread) will be buying legitimate copies as well.

Indeed. And there is no chance in hell in this day and age that I purchase anything I haven't heard first.

I mean FFS, would you buy a painting you've never seen?

Totally agree...great painting analogy

CD1 > CD2

As a whole, it is completely gorgeous.

The flow, programming & trackselection on the first cd is unbelieveable. I think my favourite part is from 'Home Planet' to 'War' <-- that tune does some serious damage here and although I've heard it many times before, it was never put in the context so well as here. Also, it's good to see that Fair used some older tunes throughout.

In short, I know I'm gonna play the first disc to death.

The second CD is definitely more clubbier, still utterly coherent, using a lot of the material Luke's playing in recent sets - Playing With Fire & Ethna being my favourite. But I've listened to it only once (and during work) so I'm sure many other will grow on me later.


10/10 / must buy
