Editorial Review:
A smoother, steamier slice of house techno, this installment of the Northern Exposure series is a soft and sexy continuous mix that cruises comfortably in the fast lane without offering any standout moments of delirious excitement. Centering themselves firmly in the desert-trance arena, Sasha and Digweed opt for dreamy over direct every time. LSG's "Netherworld," Taucher's "Waters," and the William Orbit and Spooky mix of Sven Vath's "An Accident in Paradise" are all choice moments to get lost in, while Humate's "3.2" is a warm and cozy chunk of ambient techno. Overall, this edition of Northern Exposure is not the most essential member of the collection, but it does provide more than enough fluid trance-techno moments to satisfy dedicated fans. --Steffan Chirazi

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Sequels Are Usually Disappointing
The second volume in the Northern Exposure Series follows that very well known trend amongst movies where the original is usually considered the best while the sequel ends up being a disappointment.
The first release is a classic that will stand against the test of time despite being two years the junior to this album. Northern Exposure II: West Coast is outdated with tacky-sounding trance. Glowsticks and pacifiers anyone?
2.5/5 stars.
Rating:  - Classic - really is worth all 5 stars
I don't go buck wild over every cd I buy and give 5 stars because it sounds cool. But as others have said - NE: West coast stands the test of time and is worth the price listed. The buildup to Pete Heller's remix of Netherworld is one of the best I've heard.
Be sure to check out the East Coast edition - it's very different, but a good purchase still (I'd give it 4 stars).

once again sound rotation bpm off sync wrong meshed unstructured sound lends no focus to the true artist who by the way if your heard him live raw at various venues or clubs throughout the world you would be impressed and say hey were did all the energy bpm pitch and loud sound structure go it aint here on this cd. i would say fire the production sound team for they lend themselves to nothing cant anybody just record his live sets in clubs and put it on cd i mean its that simple he will make millions ...

Rating: - A progressive house classic ...
The follow-up to Sasha & John Digweed's Northern Exposure does not disappoint. Similar to Vol. 1, the UK and US versions were released differently. Whereas Northern Exposure 2 was released as a single, two CD set in the UK, the US version was split into separate releases, or different editions: the West Coast and East Coast editions. Don't be fooled however, they are completely different sets with different tracks. And both are absolutely essential purchases!

Rating: - Simply amazing
They are incredible artists. I find this mix to be similar to a live set I heard in '98 or '99. It is vintage Sasha and Digweed. It builds up so beautifully and hits "Netherworld" by LSG, which is the climax track. Although, the remainder is great. Very tight mixing where you don't know where one track ends and one begins. They are masters at slowly introducing one to another. I haven't found an electronic artist with their style and this mix is indicative of that uniqueness. I am definitely ... Read More
