Sasha - Involver [Full Album]

[@im_andrewtodd]

2024 and this is still a masterpiece.

[@geleZ]

Forever a masterpiece mate

[@souraman1230]

Ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhj

[@jimmy9013]

northern exposure 2 and this one, sasha was on a roll man

[@o-skoo]

Duh

[@openeyedguy]

Amen

[@johnoloughlin]

Every few years I'll revisit this and remember. What a masterpiece.

[@wizkid9404]

and that's the truth...masterful

[@Breakbeat.]

Absolutely, just don't wait that long, haha.

[@samueldawes6995]

I hope a 4th installment comes out🙏🥳

[@knowledgebits346]

It's time

[@precisionsoundworksstudio]

This is what I came back here to say. Completely agree. Another one for me is Strange Cargo Hinterland. Classics.

[@umzumzumz]

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

He is at your side always.

[@JamesBermingham]

Always connected through the Remembrance of Sasha's music. 🙏

[@KathyDeroche-vr7pm]

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

[@KathyDeroche-vr7pm]

One of the absolute most soothing albums ever

[@Simardent]

My condolences. He lives on through the sounscapes of your memories and the memories of your soundscapes.

[@KerenSing]

2023 and this is still perfect!!!

[@cypherks]

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 :-)

[@deckearns]

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. :)

[@thirsklast438]

+ 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.

[@zaktaylor6233]

My boss will be 50 soon, and me and him Jam out to Sasha at work all the time

[@dannyphillips3375]

So nostalgic all these compilations almost have me in tears...ahhh the good old days!!

[@DarthVader-rk4yu]

Same here man this is one of the best albums of all time

[@vincenzo.correale]

This album should be inducted in the Hall of Fame of Progressive House music.

[@orlduniverse]

Have you heard Sasha & Digweed’s Northern Exposure 1 & 2? ❤ 🙏

[@romanschokutas8729]

Он действительно ШИКАРЕН - ЖЫЫР.

[@jamesmartin4458]

I agree! If there ever was such a thing. There definitely should be though

[@luxuryseaviewvillas6744]

@@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."

[@ezekielbeltran1189]

seriously anyone whos ever owned a sasha involver album has seen heaven

[@edalarconreal]

Ezekiel Beltran I agree!

[@hishamelgabry1272]

Especially at the time it came out , right after the airdrawndagger as well,

[@PaulAllen.66]

Mine is still sealed in the hmv bag 👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@mar78andres28]

I still own the special super rare foil UK edition in mint condition! Love Sasha.

[@jasonpoingdestre3774]

Many fond memories gets better with age ! Sublime mixing and a nice chilled vibe 👌

[@olderloverxx]

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.

[@ReelRadical]

Amen

[@MrPoskOne]

try doing it on heroin.

[@RelaxwithTranquilSoundscapes]

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....

[@michaeliannone1960]

That Petter / UNKLE mashup-and that sneaky mix out of it-is just jaw-dropping

[@elco6400]

I couldn't agree more! It is absolutely brilliant.

[@wladaaaaa]

It will never get old. MASTERPIECE

[@Kaff231]

Exactly right!!!🙌

[@sprig3432]

you stole my name

[@nikosklrg2526]

The best comment.

[@joaop_battistella]

couldn't agree more

That is why i buy quality items that last a long time, or things i can repair.

[@davidw.gillis5725]

this album helped ensure I would be into electronic dance music forever

[@jameswayton2340]

Haha really? That really saying something about this album. Awesome! This is one of those album that can indeed really inspire you.

Everything Sasha has done emits a unique particular warmth.

[@oFwaih]

Jeremy Miller spot on

[@Kaff231]

Sasha its one of the most talented artist of our time! One of the BEST albums ever! :D

[@monadbornslippy]

Indeed

[@JeZMcFeZ]

Sasha Layed foundations that resurface years later.

[@yoyayeyaye]

you do realise that it's a DJ mix?

[@danegermau5s826]

Umm which of these tracks did he write? He's a great dj, not artist

[@nicholaslawler3146]

How don't you realize he put out his own music also

[@remongrabu]

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!

[@muziktic]

just supreme..original is fantastic, this mix superb

[@corsakias]

flagsong of this album

[@ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

Best part of the whole damn mix/album

[@guimazoni]

You're not alone, I dont remember how many times I had to replay to understand the beauty of this transition.

[@ste6473]

Its outrageous mate such vision and beauty

[@natemick2271]

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.

[@AndyBonesSynthPro]

Right?? Me too, I still have the CD I bought in 2006

[@ryansmith4549]

17 years??? Holy crap where does the time go? Feels like it just got released yesterday… Sasha is a genius …

[@barryvarkel]

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.

[@mrdex8527]

Barry Varkel fucking well said bro!

[@MIRL179]

I couldnt have said it better myself barry absolute magic that never ages

[@pablocovarrubias4265]

The Youngsters - Smile is one of the best songs of all Involver compilations.

[@gentleforce]

Pablo Covarrubias Y

[@robertoboertje353]

The Youngsters, U.N.K.L.E...some of my progressive house heroes.

[@michaellogan2204]

Yep

[@hishamelgabry1272]

for me as well pablo

[@rotemcohen6728]

Agree

[@Project.Reality]

Sasha is on another level when it comes to mixing and editing tracks! He is a true artist and Involver a masterpiece!

[@oFwaih]

Don't forget Charlie May-his right hand in all this.

[@stacky01]

2019..... Still the Ultimate..... I cry every time I hear the first track..... Lostep.... Burma.. I cry some more!!!

[@lucapetrescu6990]

same

[@marianoferro6577]

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.

[@nadikou24]

2020 and same but for these days. THE ultimate set

[@ajax5622]

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😎😥✌✊👐

[@erikmode4869]

wow,,,

[@TravisRobinson-d8z]

Bought it when it first released, on vinyl. Still rocking it in 2024. Share this with everyone you know!!

[@NicolaeStefan-f6k]

I bought this album when it came out and listening it every other month since. I guess there no need for more. Awesome

[@dcscreenworks]

Sasha blended live producing and dj'ing like no one else. He's a pioneer. So many of his mixes are timeless...

[@CristoTheDJ]

Still listening to this in 2024😊👍🏻

[@stevepettifer4896]

That breakdown in Belong by Spooky still gives me goosebumps. Just perfect.

[@experttact]

Still so good, after all these years.

[@bobbybyrd8549]

yolandaBEcool this was such a game changer... still gives me goosebumps

[@funkdakarma]

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.

[@jezzimo]

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😁

[@robertoboertje353]

Same experience here, married since then :-)

[@VibrantWhite]

Burma is without a doubt one the MOST beautiful songs ever created! Thank you sasha!

[@fersholion]

I agree with you

[@RJSoftware2000]

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...)

[@Shlomo8561]

Blessed are those who can experience and understand Sasha's work.

[@pmontoya]

one of my favourites

[@oFwaih]

J R indeed. Well put, my friend. I, too am one of the chosen ones.

[@mattkowalski9998]

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!

[@yummyfrieskat]

The most meaningful album of my life

[@Dan-jg7zl]

Petter - These days. Such an amazing track. So emotional.

[@dmccoyny]

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.

[@elco6400]

Starting 2025 off right with this brilliant album. Great songs beautifully crafted together by Sasha. A masterpiece, indeed!

[@denradman]

20 years and still the best

[@JamesSmith-yc9ej]

Ah I don't care what anyone says, still sounds amazing in 2021.

[@leeartlee915]

WHo’s talking shit about this album?

[@SugarPlumb76]

One of the best albums 💯 No matter how much time passes, I just keep coming back to listen - time & time again 💗

[@jimtaylor431]

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.

[@vedavyasadasa5802]

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

[@ickytips]

one of the most flawlessly executed and cohesive mixes ever!

[@jezzimo]

Paul Larsen yeh mate totally plus the content!!! absolutely amazing

[@ickytips]

simon davis too fucking good!

[@oFwaih]

Thanks again to Charlie May.

[@mianothanks]

It doesn't get any better than this, this album can easily improve any day for me.

[@idasje]

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.

[@matiaspose8245]

[@NickEvans-r1q]

one of the best albums I think i've ever come across

[@Jays2Legit]

Such a top shelf album. Stands the test of time.

[@juansebastianpenagos]

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

[@superfast.1440]

Sublime. Sasha at his best. The other 2 Involvers are good but this is todger tremblingly good.

[@alasdairtatham7868]

Totally agree and I think you should register todger tremblingly good and market T-shirts with it on.

[@Jusnathank]

The best mix ever, hands down. If you think otherwise you really don't know what the hell you talking about.

[@roomathousandyearswide]

I applaud your musical arrogance

[@hypnos2794]

HDC ignorance*

[@roomathousandyearswide]

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...

[@ongemakkelijkegladjakker]

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).

[@funkdakarma]

[@kisska81]

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.

[@3myluckynumber]

Listening to this masterpiece driving somewhere lost in to the winding roads of Greece...epic feeling!!!

Still unbelieveble mix. One of the greatest ever...

This is one of the greatest albums of all time.

Sasha always bring me back great memories. I've met him in Miami in 2004 !! Still listening his music almost 20 years later !!

[@Triskanivious]

Reading all the comments about doing coke to this song is outside of my realm. I don't need coke to get amped when I listen to this. DJ Sasha will and has always been the best!

[@EnglobaServiciosInformaticos]

Dude this is really good ❤

[@robroy488]

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!"

[@safatullahjalal1718]

He is no doubt one of the finest dj the world has witnessed

[@djk0lpaz]

Sasha is a Pioneer. Not only was he one of the first to use ableton for mixing, but also for live performances on stage.

[@daviduss777]

it can't get any better than this. Smile - in my opinion top top track.

[@---H_M]

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

[@ovogel]

One of the best mixes today, coronavirus approved!!!

[@darthelvira2613]

This reminds me so much memories...driving in Greece...love this soooo much...

[@SteveTomSawyer]

Still the best mix of all time

[@chalovak]

After all these years this compilation is still one of the most consistent I've ever heard. It's almost hard to tell when one song ends and another starts. And this "mash-up" of "These days" and "What are you to me?" is simply brilliant. And then there is Burma... Thank you, Sasha)

[@marcovmx07]

There's an interview I watched/read long ago where he went through all the thought process and editing he had to do

[@JourdanBordes]

i love this album , i remember the time in my life when I had it on repeat . I lived up in the Sierra nevada mountains and would jam this every-time i got in my car . the lush visual stimulation mixed with listening to this was powerful . one of my all time favorite mixes purely because of the track selection ! Thank You Sasha

16 years later I still can’t get enough of this. Supreme!

[@robicenco1]

I bought a promo copy of this from a second-hand record store in Manchester probably the year it was released (can't believe that 2004 is now 13 years ago, but that's another story). The opening track captivated me and still does. One of the best pieces of dark progressive house I've ever heard with a mesmerising beat. My copy had a digitised voiceover saying "Global Underground - promotional copy" which for me feels like an integral part of the song! Overall I suppose the album is a little bit inconsistent style-wise - it's all good, but it jumps around a bit stylistically in the second half. But it's a brilliant listen. Hasn't aged at all.
