Agreed on the Herbert mix on Tresor. Has anyone heard the Dave Tarrida mix that just came out? I like some of his solo work but am not sure how the entire disc fares... I'm assuming it is probably worth picking up though, seeing as to how for my ears Tresor is usually not bad (even when it's less interesting). I will also chime in and recommend M.Mayer's "Immer" continuous mix disc on Kompakt. it's worth it, definitely. he did another great mix for Kompakt, distributed through Neuton, called "Kompakt Presents M.Mayer" which was released a few years ago. "Immer" has a massive remix of Phantom/Ghost's "Perfect Lovers" that makes the disc worth it alone, not to mention great tracks from Akufen, Rocket in Dub, Auch, etc.... While I enjoyed Weatherall's "Hypercity" disc, it left me wanting something more... maybe because I already had MRI's first CD and it seemed to keep coming back to tracks from MRI? -matt
