Neither have I, I just liked this one. There was a point when I was listening to disc 2 a few times a week.

I don't think Massielo's or Luke's Fair style fit GU.

right fair enough but tom middleton?

i mean the guy started off his set with 50cent "in the club" when i seen him.

Source? Looks like bs to me. I can't even find anywhere on the net that says who is even doing the next GU.

Posted by Rainborn on Aug-29-2006 17:49:

They should let Ti�sto mix one. Now that would rock!

Problem with the GU's, they used to be the only source for a mix cd that wasn't cheese/commercial dance stuff. Now there's so many more options and so many more djs I think it's just hard for them to keep up. Plus alot of djs that used to do GU's now have their own compliations or have just done a compliation for another cd. Sander has his own, Digweed now has his own, Sasha does Fundacion, Hernan and Seaman do alot of the Renaissance stuff and alot of fresh, newer djs go for the compliations that are a little newer (i.e. Balance). So it begs the question, how much longer will Global Underground be around?

they just really need to reinvent themselves...

they need to dig up some new talents and put out some good discs. there sound has been tired for a while now...

What the fuck happened to such a great series...

Posted by Pete K on Aug-29-2006 18:50:

Nick Warren's last GU imo was still pretty decent...but what I think happened was the end of the prog movement..everything pretty much started sounding the same in the past few years or so...nothing really fresh unless you take the Bedrock O.S series and a few of the new Balance series' have been some what decent.

Seriously. But as mentioned before there, are a lot of other mix series now (Balance, Masters Series, Fabric, etc) so it's not really that big of a deal if GU ceases to be relevant.

Theres plenty of good music out there....the DJs are just getting lazy.

Good point...

time for the old to step down and the new to step up.

Because GU doesnt have to be prog...imo the point of a GU is to capture the vibe of its namesake city. The best GU's have always done this. This one looks like a bunch of tracks. What do they have to do with Dubai? Dunno...maybe they got played there once or twice...

Ghetto ass tech house with lots of Jay Z and 50 Cent samples, all layered over eastern instruments such as the trombone and tuba.

Isn't that kind of the point of the GU series? And isn't "figuring it out" supposed to be what the artist is getting paid for?

This just seems lazy and appears very generic...

Maybe he did, and the vibe there is PvD and AvB mixed in with Sultan and 16 Bit Lolitas tracks.
