just got through it. very hit and miss on the track selection for me. i'd find myself liking almost every other tune at times. At the beginning there was a stretch of 5 good ones before it got somewhat simplistic and boring. I remember there was an especially annoying track with nothing but percussion, some off-tempo sax and maybe off-key twinkling of the piano... yeah I fast-forwarded.
I guess I understand that some of it supposed to be "out there" or "different" or however you want to classify it, it just wasn't my cup of tea. Maybe a producer was trying to be all experimental and hip but came off like a douche... Like that kid at the club that smells and no one likes, but he sure can dance.
The mixing was solid as hell, of course only to be expected from you. There was a part towards the last 3rd or so of the mix (didn't really have a chance to follow the tracklisting) that picked it up with a string of solid tunes that had a little more composure and melody. Really enjoyed this part.
I'd say my favorite was the track early on with some black dude humming, then an abrupt cut-off on the humming and just straight groove for a bit, then he talked about some shit. If I had to guess it was probably the Noze track.
I'm sure I'll give this another one or two listens, but I can honestly say the 2005 version was much better delivered. Some of these tracks are definitely getting picked up by me and put in rotation.
Cheers.
edit: not the Noze track. Island of Sanctity track is the one I'm talking about. totally love it.
