I liked Balance 11 quite a lot. It really is a blend of house, some progressive, some deeper and some that's just... house. |
True- it encompasses a decent amount of the House spectrum, and I really don't think it fits squarely into one category or the other, though from what I remember, it's actually pretty light on the Prog. House (contrary to my expectations). |

It's probably my favorite Balance release actually. <3 Fair. |
truth! 
i like OS 0.3 as well, but i don't think it's as nearly as well thought out as Balance 011. the way the disc starts off kind of bothers me actually, but it does have lots of good tracks (especially Sebastien Leger - Electric). |

I love this Balance. The segment from 'Hypnos - Red Light' all the way to 'Tiger Stripes - Amphytrion' on disc one is pure bliss. :cool:
My favorite tracks on disc two are: 'Dusk 'n' Prayd - Playing With Fire (Elextroworld Mix)', 'Schwab - DJs In A Row (Tom Middelton Cosmos Dub)', '16 Bit Lolita's - Difficult if not Impossible', 'Klement Bonelli - Ethna (12th Floor Mix)', and my personal favorite 'Marnix - Fire! (Jamie Anderson Mix)'.
Again, the segment from 'Klement Bonelli - Ethna (12th Floor Mix)' all the way to the end is pure bliss.
Excellent mixes by Luke Fair! |

| My Balance 11 cd skips like mad on the final Humate track on disk 2 :( Awesome CD, my favorites are Highlights on disk 1, Difficult If Not Impossible, and the Francois K song on disk 2. |

speaking of highlights, the highlight of my weekend was finding an awesome Luke Fair hat that actually fits my head...

I don't know how anyone could not appreciate this album. At least disc 1...it's one of the most smoothly mixed and programmed CDs ever, imo. It's just so effortless sounding.
Also, we have a Fair + Fanciulli boat cruise coming up for Canada Day...'cept I don't think I'll be able to go. :/ |

Nah, stick with your opinion. I already tried "giving it a chance" after reading all the positive reviews also.
Just not into it. It's decent, but I find it no where near the level everyone else rants about.
That transition of Highlights into War is incredible though... |

I usually give things at least 2 listens but hadn't gotten around to it on this yet (nor did i really care to) but i can't count the number of times i have either disliked or not been impressed by a track to come around a month later hear it again and been blown away. I probly just don't pay enough attention sometimes :) |

Me neither. Despite my willingness to get into this one, I found that attention-grabbing moments were few are far between for me., though it is most competently mixed and sequenced in my opinion.
Aside from this, both discs just seemed to coast by while listening to them. |
