That is the good stuff indeed. One of very few sets that I know that include one of my personal favourites - [106] Lucien Foort - Vivid Skies.
I can see why Sasha now feels things got pitched up a bit much at the time - Xpander on steroids in the encore.

Really needed to correct that spelling, huh?
Like I've said before, I 100% agree with you, Foort's contributions are criminally underrated. 'Vivid Skies' is great, but my favourite has to be:

It's almost as bad as encountering "Klienenberg".

I'd say Klienenberg is much worse. There are multiple famous people named 'Lucian,' at least.

If anyone wants to listen to a set by The Man Like but slightly older than the stuff Moss is looking for, this one below comes *very* highly recommended. Great quality for a recording taken from old tapes, too.
I have it listed as 'Live @ Pure, The Strand Theater, Marietta, GA 8-2-96', which I suppose makes sense if it was a Liquid Groove event at the Strand, Marietta being an Atlanta suburb (I think).

Nothing wrong with '96. I do think prog went through a bit of a dip in quality and relevance in the mid-90s but there was still plenty of good music going around. This is when Sasha & Digweed became more overtly trancey than housey.
I'd be much obliged if someone could help me get a copy of 1999-07 - Danny Howells & Rowan Blades @ The Fez Club Cambridge. Not sure if this has circulated at all, but it's listed on the mixesdb database with a partial tracklist. Nothing out of the ordinary in terms of what they played (though good to see a Son Kite track of that era feature in non-psy context), but it would be a nice addition to the classic prog archives..

Blame BT/今 Ima/Perfecto, imo
I prefer 1997, but 1996 is pretty good, too. I'm actually listening to that epic 6 hour Sasha @ Mark Hunt Labor Day set today. Definitely a more trancey than housey set.
