This one was posted a while ago on another board (nfo and credits included), both as lossy mp3 and lossless. The source is analogue (original recording on video tape), and it does sound differerent from the version that is widely available. It's cleaner but a bit too loud, make up your own mind. If you're new to this set, then you're in for a treat.

Re: John Digweed - Essential Mix 1995-09-03 [New source]

cheers! will have a listen today :D

Re: John Digweed - Essential Mix 1995-09-03 [New source]

Listening now,certainly the treble is up a bit (more hiss than the previous version, but ? due to sourcing)- maybe a bit cleaner overall.

But- whatever improvements this is a stellar mix- just how good is the mixing over the first 4 tracks? Magical

As sbando says, if you've not heard this before you are in for a treat!

Re: John Digweed - Essential Mix 1995-09-03 [New source]

the transition from ''ocean drive'' to ''change'' defines the word EPIC for me!

Re: John Digweed - Essential Mix 1995-09-03 [New source]

Can't argue with that, skills and ingenuity.

Re: John Digweed - Essential Mix 1995-09-03 [New source]

Yea there are ALOT of remastered versions (lossless and HQ mp3) of the old essential mixes up on themixingbowl.org ... highly recommended.
