S&JD - NE: Expdtns (1999)

The UK edition of this release features a remix of a track, still ubiquitous, which was pulled from the U.S. release for licensing issues due to its major label association.  The absence of this track makes the whole U.S. release a total and complete waste.  So, for your listening pleasure...

A little more detail can be found below along with digital files of the vinyl.

Northern Exposure - Expeditions (Vinyl) (1999)

The last of the Northern Exposure releases by Sasha and John Digweed, it is apparent on this one that not only has their mixing skills remained as good as ever but electronic music was out of the underground.

The UK edition of the CD release contained a remix of Delerium's "Silence" (featuring Sarah McLachlan), a track which is still ubiquitous, which is not present in the U.S. release mix.  According to Sasha's website it was pulled due to licensing issues.

Electronic music was on its way to mass popularity (as can be seen by this albums U.S. release on a major label) and copyright was beginning to escalate and affect how music was made and distributed.

Truth be told I didn't realize this until putting this post together as my digital copy of the mix has the track in it.  To me, this makes the whole U.S. release a total and complete waste.  

I used to own this on vinyl and sold it off a few years ago but, for your pleasure, digital files of the vinyl are below.  The "Silence" track is present on the vinyl.

Northern Exposure 2 (1997)

The follow up to the original.  Another essential release as electronic music was careening toward the mainstream.  

While the first mix is one of those that is beyond compare, both of these mixes hold their own, again showing the talent of these two DJs at their prime.

Sasha And John Digweed ‎– Northern Exposure (1996)

Northern Exposure (2xCD) (1996) 

Easily one of the most essential electronic releases.  

Even today, rapidly approaching 20 years, this still has the power to stir the soul.

This is the 2 CD version that, for some reason, never saw the light in the U.S.

Bonus treat: the unmixed vinyl version of the CD release.  

Listening to these tracks you will realize just how incredible this mix really is and, though it is perhaps less obvious today, marvel at the genius of Sasha and Digweed at changing what electronic music could be and do.
