Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

The Zabster? I know it's going to be good but somehow I don't care.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

I don't actually like James Zabiela.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

I enjoyed the renaissance cds alot, so ill check this out.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Yeah, his renaissance offerings were solid. Particularly #15 in the masters series - Life.

He's long overdue for another comp.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

talented as hell. bet this will be good although i am not really a huge fan i am sure this will rock. sounds like he put a ton of work into it.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Somebody has his RA mix and his latest Essential Mix?

PS, nevermind, they're at his SC.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

did he ever figure out how to beat match his "boops" and "beeps"?

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

really enjoyed the preview.....

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

when's it out?

Haven't listened to all of the preview , but what I have doesn't sound half bad. :) I have bought a ticket to see him in Feb . If I don't like him there are some great locals playing. :) I like to support Balance, even if it wasn't Melbourne based this label would impress me :D

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

is this out, how does it sound, is it worth buying

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Going to see him tonight, or some of the locals depending on how he is playing :lol: There are some very good locals playing tonight.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Ok Decided to not go to Zabiela . I am supporting the locals and Balance already by buying a ticket. I'll save my money for B.A. :)

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Incredible. After preview I expected something great... and this is one of the best balance in whole series!

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

^^^great news!! may have to grab this one.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

15 € at Junodownload for the lossless, all 58 tracks and the mixes. FYI. Buyers remores, Balance-comps used to be only available at Beatport at a ridiculous price, and at iTunes, so preordered it from iTunes for 11 €.

Looking forward to spending a very fine quality 2,5 half hours with this and some Laphroaig in my easy chair later today.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

i just bought it from BP had a discount coupon so was only 12 bux. Not too bad for 58 tracks and 2 mixes

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Its so damn good!!!! This is the James Zabiela I like

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

[COLOR=#f0f8ff]The layering and mixing is so intricate and well woven. So hard to even tell apart the singular tunes. It's like a warm blanket of sonic rhythms and grooves.[/COLOR]

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Act 1 is my fav!!!

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Liking it a lot. Keeps in a similar spirit as what he did for the Renaissance Master 15 - slick downtempo on the first and letting loose on the second disc.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Been a while since I see MS get excited over a comp, let alone a Zabiela comp!

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

yes, its nice to see isnt it. actually there have been some older stagnate members peeking around here recently.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

For sure. I miss the days when we tuned into a broadcast live and spammed a thread as the set played.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Listened to this once this week and did enjoy it, looking forward to revisiting next week.

Agree on the mixing comments above - hard to tell when one tune ends and the next begins

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Very nice indeed.. enjoying cd1 quite a bit

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

It's funny I just read this now, just a few days ago I pulled out the OS mix from him and popped it in the car stereo. Will be cool to hear how he sculpts a new mix with all he's learnt since the last time I heard him. The DJ who gets my most respect for what he accomplishes in the booth that not many others can do.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

Very nice mix. Only problem with mixes like this, when it gets going, it ends too early, a testament to the smooth buildup.

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

cd1 is amazing, really enjoyed that one. cd2 not so much..

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

not bad the act1

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

I can't remember how many years it has been since I listened to James.... but this is so worth it :)

Re: Balance 29 James Zabiela

i,m in two minds about this one, on the one hand people are telling me it's great, however on the other hand i've heard samples of the tunes on amazon and my head says no
