Home listening can never hope to recreate that live brilliance and this CD only gives a small taste of Farina's skills. It falls a bit short of being an unforgettable set, but it's a nice collection of tracks and solid mixes.

It just keeps growing on you..........2000-06-23
As I listened to it a few more times, I began to realize that the disjunctures I was hearing had nothing to do with the transitions between songs. Instead, he was breaking up the songs' own internal continuity so that his blends of records took on their own full personality; the parts of the record that sound smooth are, in fact, the mixes.
The mix between "Glasgow Jazz" and "C'mon Clap Your Hands" goes on for upwards of two minutes, and "Glasgow" only plays by itself for about eight seconds. Right at the end of the mix, he drops the bottom out almost completely, and comes out into a bridge in "Clap Your Hands." The first eight or ten times I heard the CD, I thought I was listening to one track, with a kind of weak, EQ-tweaking mix into the next track. When I finally sorted it all out, I realized I'd been had. It's one of the best transitions I've ever heard -- and I've heard a lot. Anyone who wants to steal some house technique should buy this CD for that mix alone.
And that's one of about ten mixes on the CD that will drop your jaw to the floor -- once you've actually listened to it enough times to realize the magic act that Farina is putting on. You'll just shake your head and say "Huh?" until then.
One down side: most songs on the CD play for only a few minutes, and most of the time they're being mixed with other records. The one record that he really lets go (to the tune of about 12 minutes) is record 12, which in my opinion is the weakest of the bunch, and could have stood to be about 6 minutes shorter.
But it's not enough to detract from an amazing virtuosic show on this disc.
