"Well, This is Blank and Jones second album this year. The mixing is very good and it is typical B&J beats. I like the fact that this was a 2 cd pack, considering I can't get enough of B&J. There is one draw back on the CD. Again the CD is copy protected, but they did add a mini CD player to when you place it in the computer it would play. I will tell you I was able to rip the album again to MP3. Just use a non-compliant CD-Rom that doesn't have the hardware encoder and you'll just fine. I will say I have purchase alot of albums and my reviews have varied from DJ to DJ, I thought I was going to say Armin Van Burren album was the best I heard this year but after this album,I'm doing a 180 turn around and now say to all of you B&J is the best DJ artist this year. I'll give my reviews on James Lavelle, Conjure One, Bill Hammel and Evolution later. BTW Notice I said "James Lavelle has an album out", he hasn't ever put a album out that he was the only person, usally it is in a pack and the only one that I know about is the Cream "The White Label" even if tried you won't find that album.The album was made in 92 to give a clue as to how long this artist has been around."
Uplift your senses to another level of pure euphoria....!

"I just cannot describe in exact words, how I feel about this beautiful piece of art. The German duo, Blank and Jones(aka Piet Blank and Jaspa Jones) have had tremendous success with their previous singles such as "Cream", "Nightfly", and their albums "Dj Culture", "Nightclubbing" and "Substance". This their album, where they prove their skills as djing and mixing, which is by far they possess an immense talent as well. Each song, the selection of tracks are so well crafted...very uplifting, and melodic at the same time, just wants one to get up from their chair and start dancing all night long...!P.S. ...one problem though, that this CD is copy protected, which means that you cannot play it on your pc..."

"This CD is great, I always listen to it while driving, hanging out or just relaxing. Blank and Jones are my favorite DJs and the albums they make just keep getting better and better. Get their "The Mix 2" as well. You wont regret buying any CD from B&J."

"i just happen to get myself yesterday (April 8th 2004) a strictly limited edition which contains: The Mix vol. 1 and 2 in one box. i have already got The Mix vol. 2 cd album but its worth getting the limited edition cos it gives you bonus tracks on either of the cds. the cd is truely amazing. so many awesome tracks, some you may know and some you may not know at all but after listening to it the 1st time, you'll be hook, all the tracks have wicked tunes and beats. sakman74 has best described it for you all. i truely RECOMMEND you trance fans to get The Mix vol.1 or 2 or both but be even better if you can get your hands on a limited edition cd. enjoy!!"
"The Mix Vol. 1" is energetic and sexy; Classic Ch00ns!

"The Mix Vol. 1 is easily one of the best double CD mixes I ever bought for 2002! Being 2003 & now 2005, I would still advise anyone to buy this compilation. This mix contains the best of both worlds: energetic dance & smooth trancey tracks. The 1st CD features more of the mainstream dance artists from Germany such as 'Fragma' & 'Paffendorf'. The 2nd CD features mixes by both legendary trancemasters 'DJ Tiesto' & 'Armin Van Buuren'. Und viele mehr! Buy It Now!
..Also, check out "The Mix Vol. 3", "In Search Of Sunrise Vol. 4"."
