Marlboro Mediums ...
...is a hell of a review I found in another message board ... but it does give credit for a more than a-ma-zing mix ...

as I said b4 .... but ..............
Qoute from str8upcore:
___________________________________
SPACE34 is untouchable in almost every aspect of what a club layout should be. Louis has deep pockets and whether you like it or not he knows his shit backwards & forwards and when he is in doubt he brings in the best in the buisness in order to get it done
___________________________________
thanx ... I was not in a writing mood earlier today ...
Everything can be analyzed to the furthest detail and then it comes down to "tastes" ...
Space 34 is a REAL club ... a true upgrade of the original ... VIBE in the place says it all ...
Terrace is outstanding ... VIBE stays in the place far more than in a spread design ... but FAR more ... it is a club within a club ...
guess people will get accostumed to dance in the main room ... it is a new experience ... it's about finding "your place on the dancefloor" ... like in every club ...
Place will attract 100% of the true clubber base ... as opposed to b4 ... when it offered less appeal to the clubbing LADIES ... and this was the #1 problem of the old Space ...
I concur with my first impression of the place ... this place rocks ... and furthermore ... will be the #1 club in the nation for years to come ...
Anything can be improved ... that is why we keep on living ...

"I am fortunate to have heard this mix 10 or 12 times through now – and whilst that is not my point it does raise one issue that needs quickly dealing with.
Jonathan and I are friends. We have been for 2 years. We met through a message board and cemented our friendship through, discovering we’ve been at the same (Sasha) parties over the last 10 years, acknowledging NE 2 disc 1 as THE god to be worshipped, and a shared passion for ‘emotional’ breakbeat music. Every now and again Jonathan puts together a mix CD – and I’m often amongst the first to hear them. On only two previous occasions, “Loose Cannon†and “Bedrock 3rd Birthday 3 deck edit,†have I ‘gone public’ and written ‘reviews’ of his mixes – no matter how good subsequent CDs have been I’ve felt it best to let others give their opinions on them. Well, “Regime Change†forces my hand I’m afraid – and if anyone wants to question whether I write what follows simply because I’m biased then they are welcome to try……………..
“Regime Change†is the mix equivalent of Seb Coe’s 800 metre world record run in 1981 – it has shifted the standard up again – and similarly not by mere fractions of a second. This has smashed the previous best. This really has upped the ante, raised the bar, increased the stakes etc. Fvcking hell folks.
It is only 45 minutes long – Jonathan did this mix because he was short-listed in the ‘best breakbeat DJ’ category at the recent ‘BreaksPoll’ awards – every nominee was asked to submit a 45 minute mix with the winners’ mix being broadcast on Radio 1. So we’re not talking about a long mix here. But what we are talking about is regime change.
Regime change is a ‘buzz phrase’ coined recently by the press to describe the not particularly hidden intentions of the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ who are poised to impose their will on the nation and people of Iraq. We in the West are once more about to be treated to nightly bulletins (no pun intended) detailing how the innocent brave of the Coalition are doing in their mission to overpower the innocent brave of Iraq. Presumably the improvement in technology since ‘Desert Storm’ will now enable us to see in ‘Super Slow Motion’ as another of our missiles finds it ‘target’ – and presumably this time around, from your own choice of camera angle ? Maybe, if they borrow some of the technology of our sports broadcasters, we’ll be able to see how fast the missile was going when it struck and what would have happened if it had struck the intended target and not one of our own ‘installations’. Maybe even phone voting for ‘explosion of the day’ …….. ?
No matter – regime change is on the collective agenda big time. And ‘Regime Change’ sums it up to a fvcking tee. Mix CD’s need good tunes on them – check; they need good programming of those tunes – check; they need those tunes to be well mixed – CHECK; and then, if you’re really, really lucky they will have an underlying mood that gives context to the tunes, programming and mixing. BANG – ‘REGIME CHANGE’.
Sinister keys and sweeps bring you to an affected female vocal that utters, “‘there will be no Armageddon; there will be no sudden ending; we will see our children grow; and theirs grow after them; for 50 years we have waited the future with a mounting sense of fear; our path to the next Millennium seemed certain to be lit by the bright lights of a nuclear conflagration; but now as we raise our eyes we see ………………………………. and her sentence stretches out for the next 45 minutes.
So what do ‘we see’ ? Well the world of ‘Regime Change’ is a dark one. It holds up a mirror to the current state of global tension and demands that you listen to the reflection. The backward loops played early on hint at both familiarity and discomfort. Then we’re into three copies of a very dark mood indeed – ‘annihilating’ clashes in your ears with the earlier female vocal reassuring that ‘there will be no conflict’ – the two voices argue – ‘annihilating’ vs ‘no conflict’ – again and again. And again. And three copies of the same record spin in phased phrase almost insignificantly in the background. Fvcking hell man.
“War is coming ……â€
“Stones aren’t safe on earth any more ……â€
And yet; somehow, this is NOT a suicide soundtrack. There’s an underlying energy in the beats and a tension in the chords that refuses to let your spirits drop. The scene is set. Several copies of the next tune fight each other for supremacy – it’s kind of pointless to speculate how many copies there are – they are fighting it out for your entertainment – just sit back and ‘watch’. Phasing snares ricochet around the speakers like bullets in a Lone Ranger episode – simultaneously adding to the tension and increasing the wonderment.
Simple ‘nightmare’ keys loom into sight and the ‘annihilating’ vocal is back – the bass line is as simple and as sick as it gets – one filthy note repeated in batches of 5 repetitions – it is hypnotic, and it is offset against more phasing snares. One underpins the other but one is never quite sure which is which.
That bass line finishes and ‘the white man’ poses the next question. Snatches of vocal begin to combine again – suddenly ‘the white man’ is ‘annihilating’. Again. ‘Nothing out here – but the underground’; ‘the white man’; ‘annihilating’; ‘the underground’; over and over – sentences forming from phrases – records talking to each other. But like I said earlier – this isn’t ALL dark – the white man may well be annihilating the underground – but the underground, ‘is where I dance’. And then the challenge – ‘where do you dance ?’ – and before you can answer, you know damn fvcking well where you dance – you dance wherever this record is playing – you can’t help yourself; “where do you dance ?â€. “I dance in the underground…….â€
Now who’s ‘annihilating’ …………….. ?
Half an hour in – 15 minutes left.
Up a gear as we move through the next mix – and seeing as we’re now dancing the mood seems to have lightened a touch as well. Don’t get me wrong – this is still moody and powerful, it’s just no longer the musical meltdown it was. Oh no, hold on the voices are back …. ‘I need to ask you something …..’ ‘Spiritual; Secret; Darkness; Nightmares’. And the ubiquitous ‘Annihilating’.
And then, after the darkness the light. After the war the peace. After the argument the making up.
An uplifting, imploring vocal about fundamental human needs – “I need you – I miss you – I love you – And I live for the look on your faceâ€
And the tension of 40 minutes explodes like a laser guided emotion bomb into a gorgeous tune to which words of mine cannot do justice.
This mix shouldn’t be track marked in my opinion – it doesn’t need it – it has transcended it. In the same way that only a few other mix CD’s do, this one only really works in its entirety – if you haven’t got at least 45 minutes to spend on it – don’t bother. I guess people will want a track listing too – I will make do without one - what Jonathan has done with this is way much more than ‘a track listing’.
Politics and music don’t mix eh ? They do on Jonathan Lisle’s turntables.
Respect

I know ... hope it will happen in the near future ...

I say ...
1) Sell Veron ... he is one of my favorite ... but he never adapted to the EPL ... he tends to open to the side instead of being forward ...
2) Pay for someone to take Barthez ...
3) Take the whole team to a strip bar ... so they forget about Real and Raul and Ronaldo ... and concentrate in the last three games ...
As to Beckham ... I doubt they will get rid of him ...

that defense is a joke. wes brown is a joke. i'm dissapointed with rio also. that first goal changed everything. man u. decided to play real with a very offensive mindset on their two games and they paid the consequences. the only way to beat real is to congest the midfield, taking figo & zidane out of the game and not allowing robert carlos to go up and down at his leisure.
even though bayern was elimanted a long time ago, if you look back at the last 3-4 years they have played real, thats the way that they have been succesful. theyve played each other 10 times with bayern winning 7. its a real bore to watch a bayern game against real, but they are able to soak up the pressure and go on the counter attack effectively. real's defense isnt all that great either when they are under pressure.
Agree w/u ...
Italian teams will pose a threat to Real ... they control the midfield and lock the back like few can ... too bad Davids will miss the first game with Real ... he is all over the place for them ...
Lets see if Real can survive hanging out in the top of the Serie A ... one thing is for sure ... they will have good goalies in front of them ... not only defense and midfielders ...

goalie always gets blamed...and they usually aint the brightest crayola's in the box...so basically the last line of defense is some simpleton..
... nice.....and we all now barthez is prone to mental lapses...sometimes he looks downright retarded Problem I see with Man U is their goalie ... today there were 3 shots ... and three goals ... the other nite at the Bernabeu ... same story ...
I am not blaming him directly for all the goals ... but if it wasn't for Casillas ... Real would had been in a looooooot of trouble ...
Real went ahead three time tonite ... when Man U got back Casillas had inmense saves ... luck or no luck ...
Yesterday both italian goalies ... Buffon and Toldo were the heroes in their games ...
Man U has no goalie ... when you know you can score because the goalie has done nothing to stop it ... you score like Raul did on the third goal two weeks ago ... and as Ronaldo did in the first and third goal ...
Man U should start shopping in Argentina ... or Turkey (where there are 2 excellent colombian goalkeepers ... specially Corboba) ... and let Barthez go back ...
Real - Juve and Milan - Inter ... finally Real joins the Serie A ...

If I'm not mistaken ... Biz addressed the issue of dress code the week after the official opening ...
No sneakers would suck ... most people go to dance all night ... it makes sense to be confortable ... afterall it is an excellent dancing club ...
A club like Space is about dancing ... specially with the Djs they got behind ... and there is nothing better for the vibe of a place than a bouncing dance floor ...
Perhaps a better idea is to enforce a strict dress code in the VIP area ... like they used to do at Crobar ...
