OldMC	I'm there. I have all 4, same as you. Try "Air Farina", relatively recent release. It's thematic, with silly non-musical interludes but it has a similar goroove to the Mushroom series.

OldMC	Not entirely. Also, the interludes have musical content that bridge the longer mixes. I may have left the wrong impression that you could not easily listen "around" these relatively brief speaking parts. The CD flows and I wouldn't worry about the talking "thematic" links.

I have bought and sold 3 twice and I also have 4, posted on July 16, 2004 at 21:14:46

4 is HDCD and I hear it as the best recording....

But it and 3 wear me down with a bit too much repitition and soul influence, - which I'm not a fan of... I also can see him most weekends here in SF, - so maybe I bit worn out w/him.....

For that house sound, - I prefer Naked Music (Miguel Migs), Sasha and Digweed, the housey stuff on Six Degrees and Jeno...

Cheers,

Is this the real me, or a mere facsimile?

It's a shame that Farina isn't spinning this type of music ...., posted on July 18, 2004 at 17:35:54

"bit too much repitition and soul influence"

Funny, you identify to of the elements I really like about it. I guess there's no accounting for taste!

I'll like it as long as it doesn't sound like it's too "rootsy" sounding...

For some reason, - I'm able to deal with Moby's gospel and soul re-working, - wherein the Farina stuff doesn't work for me...

Oh well...

Glad you're enjoying them.....
