Terry Francis - Fabric 02
Label / Fabric Records
Cat # / FABRIC 03
Released / January 2002
Style / Tech House
Rating / 4

The Fabric name is quickly associating itself with quality. Be it the club in Farringdon or the CD series that has been pushed by the likes of Craig Richards, James Lavelle and now Terry Francis, it is clear that we should expect nothing less than pure music quality from Fabric. The second installment of the standard Fabric series (not fabriclive) from Terry Francis is a worthy follow up to the very classy opener from Craig Richards.

The Cd builds quite nicely with smooth deep house records such as Outa The Blue's "R Change U" and the brilliant "Doing Shows" by Floppy Sounds. As the cd continues the baselines get chunkier. DJ Buck's "Ode to Mad Marj" as well as the wicked Asad's Silverlining Remix of Dark Male's "Night Life" is testiment to this. Blakkat's "Deeper" and the soulful "My Love" by Harris & Stubbs close the cd off in fashionable style.

Overall, a great mix to listen to. Not hands in the air stuff, but it never tries to be, rather a good mix to listen to at home and relax too.

Sat, 08 Jan 2011Always loved this mix, the first 2 mixes still make my hairs stand like the first listen! Such a warm, original, unpolished and fresh tech house vibe...

Having just listened to Fabric 55 - Shackleton, I'm definately getting the feeling 'they don't make them like they used to'. This was recorded live from vinyl too. I preferred it that way to this new age, clinical, digital style.

Sat, 28 Aug 2010So cool to own one of the top mixes ever recorded, and only two other people on RA have even expressed an opinion about it. It just makes, it that much BETTER!!! hehe Saatchi, just imagine what it sounded like when it was released!!! To be honest, I didn't take to it at first, but by the third listen, I'd BEGUN to be BLOWN AWAY. It's still resonates today...

Sat, 28 Aug 2010Having owned Fabric 1, 2, 3, 7... and numerous others, all purchased when they were released, I can say without a doubt that this CD is the best of the series that I have heard. Granted, I haven't heard them ALL, but I find it a true injustice that you could give the first installment your #12 spot on the ALL TIME BEST OF THE 2000s to Craig Richard's disc. It's a decent CD. I always loved the 3rd track and numerous others, but I was never able to embrace it; certainly never amble to consider it... More
