best kevin saunderson comp/cd

the album title is 'Paradise' isn't it?

i got the aztec mystic mix cd the other day and i really love it, especially the first track and track 9, the one with the messy strings and like weird arpeggiater noise in the background - tell me stuff like this to get!

Doctor Eich >> Food and Revolutionary Art >> Landcruising

I don't actually think a decent Saunderson comp exists, and discogs backs me up. You either have the poppier Inner City albums or nerdy comps of unreleased stuff. Definitely "Faces and Phases" looks the best, but still seems a bit too "serious" to sum him up - need some of that playful "back to the beat" shizzle too...
Shall we compile, three at a time...

1. Velocity Funk - "e dancer"
2. Reese and Santonio - "back to the beat"
3. Inner City - "Good life"

Sound of Music > Doctor Eich >> Food and Revolutionary Art >> Landcruising

i like the kenny larkin remix of it too.

Landcruising can go choke on a pretzel.

i haven't heard all of '..Food and Revolutionary Art' OR '..Dr Eich' but the final sequence of 'Science Fiction' with the electric guitar is probably my favourite thing he's done and just mind-blowing really. (/prog nonce)

it's called KMS: the definitive mix

it's a fantastic mix cd but then again it's nowhere near a complete look at his career. also there's a lot of non-saunderson material (hey, not a bad thing when we're talking about chez damier!) and lots of new school remixing of his old tracks going on.

still, i highly recommend it alongside the faces&phases compilation.

Vahid OTM. And the Psyche/BFC comp is a tad overrated. I'd pick that one up last.

That said, I'll say that Kevin Saunderson is the only DJ that made me stop breathing with his set. KOed!

Bah, so it seems i'm forever doomned to be the person who actually thinks this is his best work (ah well, i love all his stuff except that Detroit Bastard Experiment.)

back to thread though: another yea for F&P (of course it should've been a triple cd with the Inner City stuff, but then again I don't really miss it.)

Fine DJ too.

Maybe I missed the discussion on another thread, but the recent remixes of Kevin Saunderson's hits have me digging through his back catalogue. I don't know if it's just out of respect or what but the new remixes don't really seem to stand up to the originals. I already had most of those (original) tracks, but I'm sure there must be more in the same vein. I'm not too impressed with the selection on Faces & Places so far.

Since I'm mostly relying on ahem $lsk to find the stuff, which tracks should I be on the lookout for? Caveat: "Til We Meet Again" is one my favorites, so yes, I do like it cheesy.

Funny how one mention of Carl Craig derailed this whole thread. I just got a chance to check out his Essential Mix from '95, and it's much better than I expected. Occasional sloppy mixing, but truly superb track selection!

just check out the song "pump the move" by e-dancer

i don't take time for me to blow your mind
It takes a second to wreck it because you're dumb and blind

that is what the holy spirit of kevin saunderson said to me when that song played

i liked that joris voorn mix of 'bassline' from volume 2 a lot, it's probably the best of the reworks.

wish i could find a copy of this!

i like tronikhouse a lot.

if there is a 10 minute version of "rock to the beat" you should try to check that out.

"multifunction" is a dope tronikhouse track that sounds like an very very atonal todd terry

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the e-dancer comp / album 'Heavenly' - or did they... I would have said it was one of the best things he's done (although 4 of the track are remixes). The Juan Atkins and Carl Craig mixes in particular, are great.

I still haven't given his X-mix a proper airing. I picked it up last year and it failed to move me after a couple of brief listens. Worth persevering with...?

i give you $10 for it

haha is it worth that much? if i find another copy will send on...

i mean, if you like e-dancer ... it's basically an hour of tracks in the e-dancer vein. tribal 4x4 beats, reese basslines, hoover synths, right?

i think about that mix every time i hear e-dancer's "human bond" or practically anything by orlando voorn (particularly playboy's "in da jungle" or ghetto brothers' "pumpin bass manouevres") ... such a great sound.

Yeah, I think it was the relentless tribalism that I didn't like last time but I'm sure I could be persuaded if I was in the right mood.

x-mix is one of my fav mix cd's ever

out now on CD
