I can not even describe how many amazing, lovely, fun filled, life-changing evenings up-till-dawn weekends I've experienced to this album. I have no doubt, that when I'm dying, if someone were to ask me to name the top 10 albums of my life, this would be in the list. I turn 54 next week :-)
cypherks Reading your comment is awesome. I could have written every word you have chosen. I have such an emotional attachment to this mix. So many late nights, early mornings with best friends and my brother, just simply loving life. thank you for you comment. Along with listening to this mix again your comment has brought me right back in time. Thank you. :)
+ Declan Kearns I was one of the 'older' crasher kids out there every weekend living it up, I was only in my thirties, life is for living age shouldn't stop you at all. Kids no fuck all.
One of my best friends introduced me into Sasha, especially into this album. He was there when I was at my lowest point of life. We were listening to this album und hat the greatest time while I was recovering from a breakup. Now, I am engaged to this love of my life and I am not able to share it with my friend due to his death of cancer. He was the beste. He became only 32. Love him. I am listening to this album, trying to be in touch with him. Miss you Patrick. RIP
@@orlduniverse Those are great albums that pushed a lot of things forward. But their craft was much more developed by the time they made the Expeditions and Communicate albums. And nothing on either of those first two Northern Exposure albums can compare with the mastery and technical prowess of Involver 1. They would tell you the same thing; they were just scratching the surface in 96'. But all of those albums deserve to be in the "Hall of Fame."
Love Sasha. I can't believe this passed me by. Chat GPT stated it as a one of the best progressive house albums! First time listening in 2024 and looking at the comments I'm in for a treat....
One of the finest mixes ever made. For travelling on your lonesome get it on and lose yourself. So many bus trips staring out windows with this. Emotional stuff.
0:00:00 Grand National - Talk Amongst Yourselves 0:10:22 Shpongle - Dorset Perception 0:19:53 Petter - These Days 0:22:47 Unkle - What Are You to Me? 0:26:54 The Youngsters - Smile 0:34:27 Spooky - Belong 0:44:04 Unkle - In a State 0:49:43 Lostep - Burma 1:01:44 Felix Da Housecat - Watching Cars Go By 1:09:55 Ulrich Schnauss - On My Own
the mix of Petter's and UNKLE's tracks is one of the strongest musical memories engraved in my brain for life. Literally showered in shivers right now. Masterpiece!
I love "Cut me down" by Sasha but wish I had the lyrics. Can't find them. I will definitely check out Burma immediately. (after I enjoy cut me down...)
No matter how many times I come back to re-visit Sasha's Involver, it sounds fresh and relevant, each and every time. A seamlessly mixed, meaningful masterpiece of chilled electronica.
Man. I swear to God ... I was driving the first time I heard this album right after I got it from the record store. I had to pull over a couple times because I was literally in tears. Then, I completely lost my shit with Burma.
I frackin love this comment section. Sasha, felix, danny howel, john digweed my good god i miss those days. Burnt the feet off myself when i saw these guys live. Keep a bottle of water close by coz you will need it my tiny dancers😎😥✌✊👐
Still “spinning” this in ‘23! I remember when this came out. I cranked it up in my little Florida appt and just sat there…mind blown. Like nothing I had heard up to that point.
It's a stunning album isn't it! I first bought this on cd in 2004 -2005 ish. Put it on in my brand new work van ( which had an awesome sound system in it ) whilst picking the Mrs up from work that evening ( we both loved clubbing and dancing ) we ended up driving for an hour or so, just watching the sun go down over the south coast and continually saying "Fuck...this album is beautiful!"
Masterpiece! I was 18 when this released, in the middle of my last year of high school! They don’t make albums like this anymore! @sasha please remaster it!
Emotions, such emotions. It takes me back to when me and my girlfriend first started seeing each other, 12 years ago. We're still together, and every note of this album still sounds perfect.
it is indeed that good. timeless masterpiece. I wish he got back to this sound, exploring new directions is understandable, but I think he did not get to such a great soundscape the later years.
Remember back in the days when you actually bought physical media, I picked this up on a promotion in HMV and it went firmly into permanent rotation.. still absolutely love it. That Ulrich Schnauss track still knocks me to the floor every time I hear it.
same bro, had my portable discman, fell in love with myself for appreciating this, for being on earth this moment while this music exist, loving life while this gem unfolds in my ears.
I don't know how long it's been, but somewhere I am on here I think it is probably 8/9 years, and still the heavy weight champion of mixes, and always will be 31/12/2024❤️👊🏼💪
HDC Certainly not better than Involver, but also thoroughly impressive imho: Four Tet's Fabriclive (techno, UK garage), the DJ-Kicks editions mixed by John Talabot (downtempo house) and Motor City Drum Ensemble (soul, house), and The Grandfather Paradox by Âme, Dixon and Henrik Schwarz (differnt kinds of minimal music).
I'm a dj and a fucking electronic music freak. And this session is one of the best I've ever heard in my life. It's an anachronistic session that never gets old. A masterpiece. If they gave you a euro for every time I've listened to it you could buy a cayene porch. Thanks man
You tube please stop ramming this down my throat. I know the album, i bought it. Please if it helps younger people to become fans . then share it. This is not okay. This was part of my musical discovery 25 years ago.
I forgot how brilliant this album is. I haven't listened to it in probably good 10 years and it brings back to many memories and is just hasn't aged at all. Thank you.
This mix is absolutely incredible. Every song is so unique beneath the beat and I love every single one of them. Thank you Sasha for mixing this together.
This album hits very hard. I remember clearly around a decade ago I was using it during a multi-day coding session, just cranking it very loud and working into the night.
2024 and this is still a masterpiece.
Forever a masterpiece mate
Ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhj
northern exposure 2 and this one, sasha was on a roll man
Duh
Amen
2023 and this is still perfect!!!
Every few years I'll revisit this and remember. What a masterpiece.
and that's the truth...masterful
Absolutely, just don't wait that long, haha.
I hope a 4th installment comes out🙏🥳
It's time
This is what I came back here to say. Completely agree. Another one for me is Strange Cargo Hinterland. Classics.
I can not even describe how many amazing, lovely, fun filled, life-changing evenings up-till-dawn weekends I've experienced to this album. I have no doubt, that when I'm dying, if someone were to ask me to name the top 10 albums of my life, this would be in the list. I turn 54 next week :-)

My boss will be 50 soon, and me and him Jam out to Sasha at work all the time
So nostalgic all these compilations almost have me in tears...ahhh the good old days!!
Same here man this is one of the best albums of all time
One of my best friends introduced me into Sasha, especially into this album. He was there when I was at my lowest point of life. We were listening to this album und hat the greatest time while I was recovering from a breakup. Now, I am engaged to this love of my life and I am not able to share it with my friend due to his death of cancer. He was the beste. He became only 32. Love him.

He is at your side always.
Always connected through the Remembrance of Sasha's music. 🙏
This album has been so very much a part of my spirit and my life and is included in most of my daily ritual
of listening to music
One of the absolute most soothing albums ever
My condolences. He lives on through the sounscapes of your memories and the memories of your soundscapes.
This album should be inducted in the Hall of Fame of Progressive House music.
Have you heard Sasha & Digweed’s Northern Exposure 1 & 2? ❤ 🙏
Он действительно ШИКАРЕН - ЖЫЫР.
I agree! If there ever was such a thing. There definitely should be though

Still listening to this in 2024😊👍🏻
Love Sasha. I can't believe this passed me by. Chat GPT stated it as a one of the best progressive house albums! First time listening in 2024 and looking at the comments I'm in for a treat....
That Petter / UNKLE mashup-and that sneaky mix out of it-is just jaw-dropping
I couldn't agree more! It is absolutely brilliant.
Bought it when it first released, on vinyl. Still rocking it in 2024. Share this with everyone you know!!
One of the finest mixes ever made. For travelling on your lonesome get it on and lose yourself.
So many bus trips staring out windows with this. Emotional stuff.
Amen
try doing it on heroin.
It will never get old. MASTERPIECE
Exactly right!!!🙌
you stole my name
The best comment.
couldn't agree more
That is why i buy quality items that last a long time, or things i can repair.

Ezekiel Beltran I agree!

Ah I don't care what anyone says, still sounds amazing in 2021.
WHo’s talking shit about this album?
Starting 2025 off right with this brilliant album. Great songs beautifully crafted together by Sasha. A masterpiece, indeed!
17 years??? Holy crap where does the time go? Feels like it just got released yesterday…
Sasha is a genius …
Everything Sasha has done emits a unique particular warmth.
Jeremy Miller spot on
I bought this album when it came out and listening it every other month since. I guess there no need for more. Awesome
Sasha its one of the most talented artist of our time! One of the BEST albums ever! :D
Indeed
Sasha Layed foundations that resurface years later.
you do realise that it's a DJ mix?
Umm which of these tracks did he write? He's a great dj, not artist
How don't you realize he put out his own music also

Gosh when mixing tracks together took 4 minutes. Takes me back.
This album man...stayed nearly glued inside the CD player of my car for the 4 years I owned it. Absolute legend of an album, still listening in 2024.
The Youngsters - Smile is one of the best songs of all Involver compilations.
Pablo Covarrubias
Y
The Youngsters, U.N.K.L.E...some of my progressive house heroes.
Yep
for me as well pablo
Agree
This album is timeless, when you go to Mars expedition, bring it with you. It will help you build up a colony there....❤
the mix of Petter's and UNKLE's tracks is one of the strongest musical memories engraved in my brain for life. Literally showered in shivers right now. Masterpiece!
just supreme..original is fantastic, this mix superb
flagsong of this album
Best part of the whole damn mix/album
You're not alone, I dont remember how many times I had to replay to understand the beauty of this transition.
Its outrageous mate such vision and beauty
This is such a marvelous piece of art that my brother in-law (R.I.P) who was not into electronic music asked me if he could copy it to his iPod
Sasha blended live producing and dj'ing like no one else.
He's a pioneer. So many of his mixes are timeless...
Burma is without a doubt one the MOST beautiful songs ever created!
Thank you sasha!
I agree with you
I love "Cut me down" by Sasha but wish I had the lyrics. Can't find them.
I will definitely check out Burma immediately. (after I enjoy cut me down...)
Blessed are those who can experience and understand Sasha's work.
one of my favourites
J R indeed. Well put, my friend. I, too am one of the chosen ones.
No matter how many times I come back to re-visit Sasha's Involver, it sounds fresh and relevant, each and every time. A seamlessly mixed, meaningful masterpiece of chilled electronica.
Barry Varkel fucking well said bro!
I couldnt have said it better myself barry absolute magic that never ages
20 years and still the best
2019..... Still the Ultimate..... I cry every time I hear the first track..... Lostep.... Burma.. I cry some more!!!

Man. I swear to God ... I was driving the first time I heard this album right after I got it from the record store. I had to pull over a couple times because I was literally in tears. Then, I completely lost my shit with Burma.
2020 and same but for these days. THE ultimate set
I frackin love this comment section. Sasha, felix, danny howel, john digweed my good god i miss those days. Burnt the feet off myself when i saw these guys live. Keep a bottle of water close by coz you will need it my tiny dancers😎😥✌✊👐
wow,,,
After "Airdrawndagger" it's the best CD he released
Still so good, after all these years.
yolandaBEcool this was such a game changer... still gives me goosebumps
And here I am, back again...
Sasha is on another level when it comes to mixing and editing tracks! He is a true artist and Involver a masterpiece!
Don't forget Charlie May-his right hand in all this.
Sooo..... This is one of the Oldest and most Rare Mixes available, free of charge due to eXessive pirate copying, now the Night is Finally Young again
That breakdown in Belong by Spooky still gives me goosebumps. Just perfect.
Thank you Sasha for being there for me in the early 2000s
The most meaningful album of my life
One of the best mixes today, coronavirus approved!!!
Who is listening to this in 2024?
Third time this week.. oh sasha sasha
😂😂😂 omg this is aging like fine wine and so are we 🙌🙌
been listening to it since it first came out on CD. absolutely brilliant mix. Sasha is the absolute master.
Me. A masterpiece.
Meeeee
one of the best albums I think i've ever come across
Petter - These days. Such an amazing track. So emotional.
Still “spinning” this in ‘23! I remember when this came out. I cranked it up in my little Florida appt and just sat there…mind blown. Like nothing I had heard up to that point.
Dude this is really good ❤

Smile by The Youngsters. Still kills.
sup
love the building of Burma, rattles on, becoming a bigger, more expansive and wilder ride
Emotions, such emotions. It takes me back to when me and my girlfriend first started seeing each other, 12 years ago. We're still together, and every note of this album still sounds perfect.
funkdakarma beautiful mate, same here, this album alone has got us through some of the best and I mean worst times in our lives. love your story😁
Same experience here, married since then :-)
No1 Sasha - Involver (off all times)
No2 Deep Dish - Toronto
No3 Chriss -The Trip
Listening since 2004 and now 2022 and so on😎
🎉feeling it in 2024...sasha still getting his groove on in Mitchell's Plain Cape Town South Africa....❤🎉
It doesn't get any better than this, this album can easily improve any day for me.
it is indeed that good. timeless masterpiece. I wish he got back to this sound, exploring new directions is understandable, but I think he did not get to such a great soundscape the later years.
just invol
I bought this immediately when it came out in 2004
Such a top shelf album. Stands the test of time.
Remember back in the days when you actually bought physical media, I picked this up on a promotion in HMV and it went firmly into permanent rotation.. still absolutely love it. That Ulrich Schnauss track still knocks me to the floor every time I hear it.
I bought this album when I was 19 and played this nonstop, this entire album has a special place in my heart, incredible memories
same bro, had my portable discman, fell in love with myself for appreciating this, for being on earth this moment while this music exist, loving life while this gem unfolds in my ears.
As a trance guy, I remember this álbum/mix as one of the finest and mind-blowing in that time in the progressive spectre.
Still sounds great
I still get tears after 30 years haha
Perenial masterpiece.
Lmao
💯👍🏻💫👌🥳🤣🥰🙈
💯😏
this album will live for 200+ years easy. never heard anything like it.
Still the best mix of all time
His mix of Unkle’s, “ What you are to me,” is God like!
One of the best albums 💯 No matter how much time passes, I just keep coming back to listen - time & time again 💗
Best Mix ever, Turn Tables
one of the most flawlessly executed and cohesive mixes ever!
Paul Larsen yeh mate totally plus the content!!! absolutely amazing
simon davis too fucking good!
Thanks again to Charlie May.
I don't know how long it's been, but somewhere I am on here I think it is probably 8/9 years, and still the heavy weight champion of mixes, and always will be
31/12/2024❤️👊🏼💪
The best mix ever, hands down. If you think otherwise you really don't know what the hell you talking about.
I applaud your musical arrogance
HDC ignorance*
Zane Beadles
Get over yourself, it was clearly just a bit of musical banter. Feel free to share something better though, i'm all ears...
HDC Certainly not better than Involver, but also thoroughly impressive imho: Four Tet's Fabriclive (techno, UK garage), the DJ-Kicks editions mixed by John Talabot (downtempo house) and Motor City Drum Ensemble (soul, house), and The Grandfather Paradox by Âme, Dixon and Henrik Schwarz (differnt kinds of minimal music).
Nathan Kilcourse True, but Joris Voorn's Balance is up there too
I'm a dj and a fucking electronic music freak. And this session is one of the best I've ever heard in my life. It's an anachronistic session that never gets old. A masterpiece. If they gave you a euro for every time I've listened to it you could buy a cayene porch. Thanks man
He is no doubt one of the finest dj the world has witnessed
Sasha invites you to his world of eternal love. Unity and love
Thanks
After 18y of listening to electronic music in general... Today /dec2018/ I discovered this album and am blown away
that's dope check out the global underground series
What is there to even say about this mix? Absolutely pitch-perfect.
Sublime. Sasha at his best. The other 2 Involvers are good but this is todger tremblingly good.
Totally agree and I think you should register todger tremblingly good and market T-shirts with it on.
You tube please stop ramming this down my throat. I know the album, i bought it. Please if it helps younger people to become fans . then share it. This is not okay. This was part of my musical discovery 25 years ago.
Im so confused by this.
Sasha always bring me back great memories. I've met him in Miami in 2004 !! Still listening his music almost 20 years later !!
i have it on cd...great quality sound...Much better than you tube
Only the best cd-mix ever released.
20 Years ago this masterpiece of a mix was created.
I miss Sasha and Digweed at Twilo NYC once a month! The 90s were the best! We were so spoiled back then, such amazing times
Like fine Wines! Gets better everytime I listen to this.
This is one of the greatest albums of all time.
When you talk about a legendary album, this is it.
Still unbelieveble mix. One of the greatest ever...
Almost 20 years and this masterpiece continues to amaze
2020 and Lostep Burma still HOT!!
Who is here ?
March 2021 🕺🏽💃🏻
In the last 20 years, why have I never heard this? Brilliant!
I forgot how brilliant this album is. I haven't listened to it in probably good 10 years and it brings back to many memories and is just hasn't aged at all. Thank you.
Sasha's Involver series is so well made! Been a fan for a long time........
Listening to this masterpiece driving somewhere lost in to the winding roads of Greece...epic feeling!!!
If I had to pick one cd in the whole world, this would be it.
This mix is absolutely incredible. Every song is so unique beneath the beat and I love every single one of them. Thank you Sasha for mixing this together.
Shasha made the best soundtrack ever...
it can't get any better than this. Smile - in my opinion top top track.
June 14 is the 20" year anniversary of this soul touching masterpiece
I’M NOT SURE HOW TO RESPOND TO THIS. 😜 I’M OLD.
@@over-educated-sp Time is your ally not your enemy :)
@@Tsourfetis I’M PROUD OF MY SILVER BEARD, AND PEPPERED HAIR. 52, AND JUST GLAD TO HAVE KILLED MY EGO, AND BECOME A LITTLE MORE WISE. Great comment!
Straight Classic. Never gets old.
This album hits very hard. I remember clearly around a decade ago I was using it during a multi-day coding session, just cranking it very loud and working into the night.
The best ever .... even now ....
WOW! No Listens.SINCE 2020!?!? Ouchies.😢
Welpsies I'm HERE to LYK music will NEVER Die!!!! Woot Woot!! Ayoooo 2024 BayBeeee😁😅🤷🏻♀️🥳🤩
