I bought Alive 2: Utilities last year and absolutely love it but I haven't heard Alive 1 or Sound in Motion. I know that Alive is highly regarded but I don't know anything about Sound in Motion. So I need some Zabiela fans to help me out here to decide which one to get.

thanks

alive was fucking insane. he played around with his toys a lot more there, and said in an interview somewhere, that he had to make utilities a more appealing to the masses to be better understood.

Alive (CD 1 specifically) is possibly the best thing that James has ever done.

as far a I know Utilities is a stand alone compilation and is not part of an Alive series?!?!!

James' sound has gotten a bit weird/ ploddy recently.

still. can't wait to see him in June.

Utilities is one of the very few things associated with Zabiela that disappointed me. Alive is fantastic, particularly the first cd. I remember playing it for the entire summer in the car and never getting bored of it.

Sound in Motion was great as well.. But Alive is the best and it's wayyyyy better than Utilities.

Ahh ok, when I ended up burning the cd on my computer that one thing popped up where you pick the album and that was mislabled. I just checked the cd case and you guys are right.

I was only getting onto the zabiela sound when Alive was released. So id missed Sound In Motion, altho from the few listens ive given it, its very very good. Alive however remains my fav mix comp. The last part of cd one when Jeff Bennet - Strange Items (which is my fav track, or ranks HIGH up there) is simply magic.

Gotta go with Alive. CD 1 great overall, though I especially love Basic Pleasure Model - How To Live (R3volve Remix - Zabiela's CDJFX Dubit) on 2.
