Just expropriated a large number of Fabric mixes, going to go through them from the beginning with a friend of mine who's newer to the scene. Here are the reviews I'm sending him.

Fabric 1, Craig Richards (2001): a straight-up tech-house mix, from before minimal really got going. Very good, bassy and dubby. Workmanlike, lacks that sense a lot of Fabric mixes have of being an _event_, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
