Northern Exposure : Expeditions
The latest in theNorthern Exposureseries of trance-techno journeys undertaken by two of the most respected DJs in the world,Expeditionsfinds Sasha and John Digweed fashioning a set from some fine underground cuts. The disc carries the atmosphere ofJean Michel Jarrewhile maintaining the pace and energy ofOrbital. Using Breeder's "Tyrantanic" as their warm-up, the dynamic duo seamlessly utilize simple techno beats with the likes of Jayn Hanna's "The Light," pumping after-hours house such as Mono Culture's "Free," and deliciously simple trance as in Red Devil's "Gamelan." Maintaining the traditions of previousNorthern Exposuresets, there are two different discs for slightly different moods--the first more of a late-night soundtrack, the latter a blue-sky marathon--but both work equally well sequentially or separately.Expeditionsis a dynamically balanced dance journey that takes you through many of the vistas electronica and DJ culture has to offer. No phrasebook is necessary.--Steffan Chirazi
