jonathan lisle original series 0.2

Lance's Proton mix was ridiculously cheap! Almost wish that they had charged more...it's such a great mix and worth the money.


My local music shop has a lot of independent music, but their electronic section is lacking. At least they'll special order it for me. Their prices kick ass though!

Alright so I finally listened to the entire cd front to back several times.

Nice journey, very nice. Thoughtful, complex yet simple, nicely layered songs. yum perfect for a nice long run, ride, or trip. sit back and immerse yourself.

I was gonna be donating anyways and stumbled onto the cd offer, so I grabbed it. What a pleasant surprise! I listened to only a little bit of Lance before I got the cd and that cd just blew me away...very nice mix that I continue to play every now and then.

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

I got OS_2 fairly recently but after giving it a proper listen I think that one can't get closer to NE1 level than Lisle did with this comp


Eh People whats wrong with this picture?
OS2 coming close to NE1 but its meant to be an OS ie. original!
I thought the mix was good and in general I like Jons stuff but I do feel it has been done before (the feel of the set, mood). Also can people please stop using Bladerunner in their mixes Digweed and Oaky were the pioneers of this and thats that....be ORIGINAL.
Knowing what Jon is capable of I thought he could have come up with sometthing mind-blowing...but I am sorry to say OS2 was not for me.

I compared OS-2 to NE1 not because they sound the same, but because they have similar inputs of vision/talent/creativity and thus provide comparable level of hearing pleasure, at least to me.

Personally don't I mind using Vangelis sample in OS-2, "Tribute to Blade runner" is a perfect opener for a mix cd it instatntly catches listener's attention U say it's not original, to me it's just a statement of inspirations that shaped the dj making his first official mix cd.

As far as the mood is concerned - well OS-2 is pretty moody without going into too much melody/trance, pretty philthy without going into banging 4/4.
With all its genre-hopping Bedrock OS-2 is a consistent mix, with a distincive stylistic touch of it's author This sport is all about
that, isn't it

The biggest problem with this comp is that people expected some prog/break turbo overkill , while Jon Lilse served mlulti-thread and thoughtful peace of music. I feel that the qualities of a great mix cd are totally different than those of a liveset but a lot of ppl complaining about OS-2 not living up to expectations simpy don't get this fact. My ass is killing me when
I read reviews putting medicore mixes over Lisle's work

Funny but if I remember correctly NE1 was also bashed by so-called critics at the time :P

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

^couldn't agree more. this compilation is innovative, pushing envelopes, brave. it's layering is more complex than anything else out there, and it isn't complex for the sake of it. the echoes that run through the mix work as teasers for what's coming, epilogues for what you heard and general audio lubricant for the cohesion of the mix.

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

Can't believe you guys are comparing this to NE1 or any of the NE comps for that matter, JL's OS2 isn't even in the same league, frankly it's mediocre at best, No direction to it whatsoever, just a passage of dull, plodding beats imo

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

Gotta come out on the side of Hos and Funky_Monkey on this.....OS_2 is a masterpiece and everything a CD Compilation should be...I'm not as eloquent as the others maybe, but there's so much going on in this mix, so many layers and overlays that it's hard for me to comprehend the technical skill involved in creating it.........

Obviously comparisons are premature but I for one think that it will stand the test of time......

Great, great mix.......what's next?

[Jibgolly]

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

indeed a great cd. heard again today for the 4th or 5th time. it gets better with age. like Hos's mom.

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

Hi. This is the world's biggest fan of the whole NE series speaking.... This should ruffle a few feathers.


Lisle has created a masterpiece which far surpasses any of the NE discs and puts them to shame. It's a hard thing to have to say, but this mix has it all. So diverse yet so seamless, I can't even comprehend how it's done. As cliched as it is this is a real journey.

This mix will easily stand the test of time, there's no doubt about it.

Re: jonathan lisle original series 0.2

Autobiography is a better comparison with NE1/2 as it uses tracks/technology from the same period.

It's also better than NE1/2.
