      I think it starts well, builds nicely, but the ending is terrible.That final song is the worst thing he's ever put on a CD.

      Tends to lose its way around about Ladytron, which gets pretty boring and ploddy after just a few listens.

      All in all a decent release but could do without that ending

        I thought the ending was fantastic ... just shows how diverse the tastes are even within the Prog/House/EDM world.

        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.

          Same thing here, loved the final song. I actually don't like Involver's final Felix dahousecat song, so liked invol2ver overall.

              This mix is awsome.

              Love the way he sux you straight in with, 'You are the worst thing in the world'. Amazing track which leads straight into another with, 'Flesh'.

              From 'Arcadia' through to 'Couleurs', is where the serious tunage is. All amazing tracks, with some haunting vocals thrown in for good measure.

              'Sometimes I realise' is an awsome track and an excellent choice in closing this mix out.

              Sasha has delivered yet another classic and can't wait to see him @ Global Gathering in Nov.
              “A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.”
              Marcus Tullius Cicero

                Why don´t people like "Sometimes I Realise"?

                I think it´s a glorious ending to my record of the year (along Howells´ Renaissance monster)

                  ^^^ because it would be crap to dance to??? When there are vocals I want them to be a really special voice, this isn't for me.

                      I think it works well as the ending track. If you have it setup to play immediately to the bonus disk it's a great transition between them.

                      I hadn't heard much of this prior to the release so I didn't know what to expect. I have enjoyed the Coma stuff but was wondering where he'd go with invol2er.

                      Great track picks, along with nice edits with that quintessential Sasha electronic knob twisting. I like how it was much more upbeat that the original involver. Very groovy and drives hard enough to not get boring for me.

                      I'm all into enjoying certain tracks, but albums for me are something special and I really enjoy listening to albums as a whole. This one doesn't let me down for that. I typically hit play on track 1 and let it go all the way through. I'm amazed on every play that I'm already at the end of the bonus disk (on the limited edition) far too soon. I could do with another hour of remixes like this.
                      may the groove be with you

                          agreed, I love dannys new cd, but sasha's mix is probably the best thing this year except Diggers T4

                            The last track in a set doesn´t necessarily have to be a danceable one... many DJ´s usually play a "comedown" track, this is Invol2ver´s equivalent of it, I think it´s an epic track that leaves a good, kinda drawn-out feeling that makes for a perfect ending.

                            Of course I´m also influenced by the fact that I actually like Engineers, they´re this shoegazer band with My Bloody Valentine influences, so as I´m into that kind of stuff I´m obvisouly biased.

                              I'm curious to know what you people think the male vocal that starts at 39:27 and is on the 1st and 3rd beats of the bar with the cher vocal effects (what I call them anyway) is saying.

                                C'mon...anyone? I've had this idea for years to use a vocal sample in a track and I think it may have been done here but it's hard to tell. You know how you think you hear words in a song, even though they are wrong, you keep on hearing them when you listen to it.
