Word, also this. I'd drop pretty much any old Holden.

eh, "horizons" does not hold up at all. i mean yeah good for him it's what broke him into stardom but it's definitely a Fruity Loops 4 fisher price my-first-production-style track. even he cringes at it when he hears it. and you can tell he hated producing that style and structure of song as he almost immediately attempted to innovate with his work post-horizons.
on a sidenote, i've met james holden and a couple times and he's a very chill dude. nice guy. very short though.

I heard his remix of Fine Day twice in successive weekends over the summer. Fits in effortlessly with new stuff.

One For You is still a bomb. I've heard this one out as well, the bassline is so driving on a club system:

Funny that this topic has come up, i've been buying a lot of old prog recently. One thing that surprised me is how well a lot of old prog breaks hold up, some of that stuff you could drop and people would think it's a recent electro track.
This one has been stuck in my head for months, I actually didn't know it for some reason, even though it's probably his best track. That part with the breaks, me. In classic prog fashion the best part only lasts a minute and a half though :(

If we're talking straight-up prog rather than glowstick trance, it's all still in my collection and still very much on rotation.

Probably more so now than ever before. I keep discovering old prog tracks I've never heard before constantly. Spotify has a surprising amoung of old prog.

I have this on vinyl from back in the day...test pressing. I first discovered this track from an old youtube video of sasha playing it. It was labeled as some sort of warm-up or sound system test he was doing. Was and is definitely a bomb that not too many were aware of even back in the day.
