I have been listening to thsi double disc set at work today, and its unbelievable,possibly the greatest 2-disc set ever?When i want to bang it out with some tunage I put on GU009,but when I want to be taken on a journey I put this in the cd player and sit back.Awesome tracks, mixing and programming.It makes me sad that I'll probably never hear a cd that reaches these heights again.

Please post your appreciation of this cd

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

never have more true words been typed. you are spot one with that post mate. the programming IS amazing. I have some of those tracks on vinyl, and just cant play them, it almost seems blasphomous (sp).

lights out, candles, a few bong rips, and NE 1 does the trick.

Fuck, sounds like a plan for this weekend after the pub...

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

its the best compalation cd of all time. nuff said.

that wasnt a whirlpool. i had chili for lunch :twisted:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

One of my favorite comps. I have not listened to it in a while but still pure class. Great track selection, great mixing. Defiently a classisc mix.

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

just listened to this again yesterday. best mix comp I've ever heard. reminds me of the feeling that listening to orb's earlier work gave.

Keiichi Suzuki - Satellite Serenade :Respect:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Never really liked it that much when I first got it, but I kept it and now it's one of my top 5 all time, that's for sure....great flow....everything I like in a compilation.....seems like that's the whole vibe I look for in compilations these days (anybody think Jon Lisle is on the same path???)

I agree...but CD1 of GU009 is an amazing journey in it's own right...very underrated CD I think. People always talk about GU013 but dont' give any love to GU009

ooh! can i come?! :D lol, I haven't smoked from a bong in so long. Almost a year actually.

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

my feelings on the NE series are well known. you should set aside a day to listen to all 6 cd's of the NE discs. you'll have a good day i gaurantee it. :wink:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

agreed. the best compilation ever.

6 CDs :shock:

I've only got two... or is it four? Certainly not six :NotMe:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Its am impressive sounding name but really its just a very long single track dirt road

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

It's a classic that will never be forgotten... Rabbit In The Moon - Out of Body Experience. Holy crap! If Euphoria and Seratonin ever had a kid. They would call it that. Ha ha! How scrumptulescent!

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

@ mixu...yes 6 cd's

Northern Exposure 1 = 2cd's Northern Exposure 2 = 2cd's Northern Exposure 3 - Expeditions = 2cd's

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Listening to this always puts a smile on my face and a bounce in my step :mrgreen:

And a must when I used to have comedowns from acid :mrgreen:

Northern Exposure 1 and 2 :Respect: :Respect: :Respect:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Dont get me wrong, I love GU009 disc 1-IMO its the best cd i have.But NE1 is the best journey cd I have,its much more chill out than GU009(even though its not a chill out if that makes sense?!)

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Funny, I put on NE2:East just 15 mins ago then come across this...

Both NE1 and NE2 are permanently glued to the top spot in my favourite mixes... Whoever said Lisle's OS2 was along the same lines was spot on. Some people don't seem to like it, but I reckon it'll stand the test of time and people will appreciate it more. Plus maximum respect to Lisle as it was mixed live. :RockOn:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

One of the best CD's I downloaded from Audio Galaxy and went to the shop a day after to get it. I still remember how my fingers went wet when I saw that there were three releases of this series already...those CD's changed my music taste a lot. Eternal thanks to S&D for starting something good on my side. I guess without the Northern Exposure Series and earlier GU's I wouldn't post on this site today. :lol:

In the states, it was only north ... I finally got to hear south, though. I know a TON of people that love S&D, but only one that had the foresight to buy the import when it was released.

I never get tired of NE1 north, tho!

Oh, I know totally know what you mean.

Northern Exposure is made for pure listening. You sit down, pop in the CD and you lose yourself. Thats how it's a trip.

GU009 CD1 is more loungey, I guess. It's a trip, an emotional one too (what Sasha cd isn't, afterall?) but it gets you groovin too. Very bumpy, head-boppin, chilled house music. I wish Sasha still spun that kind of house :(

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Wavespeach on South is a classic SICK HARD track, mamma like :) "it flows burning widely flowing flume flower...???? lol" and the chick's voice sampled... "ah. oh! oh!"
Junior dropped that track all the time at like 9 am :)

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

I have original vinyl Castle trancelot - the gloom sattlite serenade apollo 440 - liquid cool

however i prefer spinning off of CD and I'm a digital bitch... Umkay?

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

umkay!!! :D

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

I find NE1 a little dated now (some of the vocals..), but there's a lot of ridiculously good tracks on there, and the whole Raincry/OOBE bit is sublime.

NE2 East is the pinnacle, IMO.

They released Northern Exposure as 2 different CD's in North America. I think they were called NE: East Coast Edition & NE: West Cost Edition. Why didn't they just released it as a 2CD set like the imports? :NotMe:

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

was it just me, or was "south" impossible to get in the states?

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

[quote=lilsensa]was it just me, or was "south" impossible to get in the states?[/quote]

I believe it was only released as north and south as an import.. so yes, or , no, its not just you

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Seeing this thread made me go back in time and put the cd on once again. And yet again this timeless piece of mastestry sent me on a journey.

Absolute master piece!

Re: Northern Exposure 1 Appreciation Thread

Good luck getting the import(the actual 2 disc set with blue cardboard packaging - i havent seen it in the UK for about 4 years now,so I'm guessing its rare as hell).

Strange thing is I never liked NE2 Disc 1(the one with gus gus and hybrid on it) at all - CD2 of that set was good,but the package as a whole really let me down.
