Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

I know ive prasied this one on the forum before... but first one that comes to mind is Max Graham Transport 4 from 2001. Solid as can be, great tracks and mixing. Saw him on a cd release tour for this album, good times. Very underrated dj

Max Graham doesn't get enough credit for a being a solid all around DJ. He is one of those DJs who can still do a marathon a set and touch on every genre out there. He is tops when it comes to programming

Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

Viva Toronto I was disappointed with - he got caught up in some o f the minimal stuff and sucked out a lot of the fun, bouncy basslines that make up his trademark tribal sound.
.
Viva London was a bit better, but felt like he hadn't got the minimalist stuff out of his system completely. It still has its moments, though.

Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

I gonna check out that Steve Lawler one too, I have Viva London and Viva Toronto....not that good in my opinion, id say mostly the time period in music is the main issue for me. Although Viva London CD 1 is really twisted techy goodness...

Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

Another masterful album that doesn't get a lot of love:


I still think this is his best comp, which is saying a lot, since he's got a strong discography with the Lights Out series and the subsequent follow ups to this comp. This is 3CDs of excellence.

Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

When there was an explosion of mix cd's being sold in mainstream record stores like HMV and Tower in the late 90's, I was trying to get a feel of what I knew I liked and what I didn't - so there was a lot of hit and miss with my paycheques. And I was moving on from the underground mixtapes era that was coming to an end - I knew the bigger names, but wasn't sure of some of the lesser known UK DJs that North Americans weren't quite as familiar with.

The one thing I did notice was that Cream and the early mixes of Slinky generally seemed like they were trying a different approach compared to the "Let's compile the biggest hits of the year so far and throw them on one comp" philosophy that a lot of Ministry of Sound and other comps were doing. Some of their comps like their Trance Anthems mixes were really well thought out and I got the feeling there was some strategy in how they put it together.

That's not to say that they didn't give in and put out the odd mix that was going for the lowest common denominator, but I found myself liking the Cream mixes a bit more than the other ones that were flooding the market.

Re: Half forgotten compilations that are actually pretty good

really wish GU would bring back the NuBreed series

So did everyone, only when they did they could not get it right. Zabiela, Voorn, Pritz. Instead we got Sultan and Rivers.
