Playing it again. By far, cd1 is about the best thing I've ever heard. Bumping this again for my excitement of seeing him on the 1st of March. Point taken he doesn't spin stuff like this much any more, I still like the tracks he's making and playing these days. |
Woo! I'm seeing him on the third!

One of my all-time favourite artrist albums. This is amazing. Too many emotions are in this thing.
If you want to know what progressive music is about listen to this |

Seeing this thread resurface reminds of when James Holden used to be good, before he drifted into the boring glitchiness that dominates his sound now.
The Balance disc was DAMN good though... still one of the best mix CDs ever. |

I saw him live about 2 months ago, and he didn't play that boring glitchiness. He played some banging techno and tech house. It was actually one of the best sets I've heard live.
Got a picture with him and everything, very down to earth guy. :D |

Same here, he threw down one of the best and nastiest sets I've ever heard. Even the "boring glitch" stuff he plays I tend to love, and I would love to hear it live as well.
As for Balance 005, it's still my favorite mix comp. I've grown to love cd 2 almost as much as cd 1. I still want the full version of Meek - Happy but I know that that's never going to happen. What a blinder of a track though.
I actually played this in the car last night heading home from a smokeout session at my brother's and my friend was in the car with me. She never listens to electronic music but she fell in love with it. The way that MFA track just starts you off, you know you're going on one of the best musical journeys ever recorded. |

Context is everything. Thats what Holden got with this, each track works perfectly with the next, each sets up the next. The mixing doesn't have to be amazing or technical, because the tracks all work together by themselves. |

yes!
I just love how Oshawa fades out into All together.
this CD is also one of my favorites, and most probably, will always be one of my favorites. |
