    Re: 60 most groundbreaking mix albums of all time

    Playing this with a straight bat, I can't help but think sixty too high a number for mix compilations genuinely considered "groundbreaking"... I mean mix albums have been around for about 20 years or so? That would mean on average 3 "groundbreaking" albums a year? Hell's teeth, I'm surprised there'd be any ground left...

      There was a mix CD from Parks and Wilson from back in the day that was pretty damned good - forget the name though

      Northern Exposure 1 and 2 are essential - I remember hearing the track Raincry for the first time - wonderful piece of music

      I also loved the concept behind the mix series 24:7

      Don't forget Danny Howells and Nocturnal Frequencies

          I thought sasha and digweed's first renaissance comp was groundbreaking, but perhaps not in a good way. The days of mix tapes (played live) were replaced by mixes manufactured in a studio. People became used to hearing flawless sets and, maybe subconsciously, then thought live (real) mixes inferior

            Future sound of london's ISDN transmissions were groundbreaking, way ahead of the game in many ways. I can't really name any compilations that I'd call groundbreaking that were no more than a selection of similar tunes, programmed together on a computer, no matter how listenable they are.

                joris voorn's balance 14 was groundbreaking in my opinion! and i haven't heard anything similar to it since.

                    So white-middle class Americans have been told by their Television sets to be fearful of:

                    1. Mexicans/Latinos from the South bringing drugs and killings n' shit.
                    2. African Americans cause mos def they are raging a race war and want to occupy America like how the plebs occupied Wall St.
                    3. Iranians/Afghans/Any one of middle eastern origin to be quite frank, cause you know Islam...
                    4. North Koreans/Chinese cause you know everything...

                    Am I close here?

                          Agree.

                          To be fair, Diggers' Live in London 4 x Cd set is groundbreaking, if only for the fact (i) a DJ has the balls to put out a live set and (ii) it's mixed properly on the fly - a rarity these days.
                          sigpicSimonR

                          This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                            I always loved the name of the album, so much so that I forgot it

                              Sasha @ Avalon maybe worth a mention too. Although he was using ableton then...ballsy to put it out with the part of the night where the computer crashed maybe.
