Product Description
Amazon.com essential recording
The Rolls Royce of trance-house mixes, and every bit as cool as the polar bear on the sleeve, this first edition of Sasha and John Digweed's Northern Exposure sets is the tightest and most effortless of the series. With 11 superbly arranged cuts from the likes of William Orbit, Rabbit in the Moon, and the Future Sound of London, not one moment is wasted. The disc's flavor is decidedly organic and wholly evocative of all-night mountain raves or desert parties. Starting with the early-morning stretch of Keiichi Suzuki's delightfully sunny "Satellite Serenade," the duo swiftly build the tempo up to the breezy ambient plateau of Morgan King's "Free" before heading into harder house territories. The metronomic pulse and atmospheric chanteuse vocals of Fuzzy Logic's "Obsession" form an incremental crescendo with Orbit's "Water from a Vine Leaf." Being a condensed version of the European release, the closing salvo from Banco de Gaia's "Last Train to Lhasa" confirms the since-validated fact that these Exposure journeys have infinite potential; Sasha and Digweed are among the first DJs to create mix sets that tap into earthy, human emotions. It is precisely this unique flavor that will make you yearn for a dance floor, beach, or campsite, packed with deliriously dancing bodies. Yes, really. --Steffan Chirazi

In case you are replacing your original copy....,
By A Customer
This review is from: Northern Exposure, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
Just wanted to point out that this compilation is meant to be (by which I mean when it was originally released in the UK) a 2 disc set, one called North and one called South. I ordered this only to find out that on this US version you only get the one disc (North). It is still very good, but just thought I would warn those expecting a two disc set.

This review is from: Northern Exposure, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
I don't know about you, but I never heard any of these songs on the TV show "Northern Exposure". But seriously. Hard to believe this disc came out 7 years ago. Despite the fact that it's now considered to be old, it is a great set. "Sasha" and "Digweed" put these tracks together seemlessly. I really like to think of this as just one long track, which of course is the point. I might have liked other choices more, but what's here is still classic. This is more mellow than it is aggressive, but at the right place and volume, it should take you where you want to go. There may be better sets out there today, but this will still give you an "Out Of Body Experience".

This review is from: Northern Exposure, Vol. 1 (Audio CD)
So that's what all the fuss is about! This is about perfect. It's a bit different than their later works, but Digweed and Sasha find perfect harmony here. Digweed, who likes the subterranean and Sasha, who prefers to soar above the clouds, meet half way here. What a mix.This album is something of a mystical journey, taking you deep within and ascending ever higher until about halfway you find release. You can really feel the grooves. It's definitely worth the hype. My only bother would be that you gotta pay out the nose to get the second disc (issued, apparently, everywhere but in the U.S.). Why isn't it available in the states?
