Done with CD1...

Hated most of it, just not my cup of tea. It was a real torture for me to listen to it all the way through.

It begins with an annoying chipmunky vocals track, and then immediately bangs all the way to the end. There is absolutely no flow, or peaks, or lows. Real amateurish.

It does contain a few good tracks, besides 'Who Killed Sparky?'. Benny Benassi's 'Love and Emotion (Instrumental)' was a real nice surprise as I didn't expect this to be one of the best tracks in the CD. Thomas Bangalter's 'Outrage' was also quite good, but the best tracks in the CD are definitely Chymera's 'Arabesque' and Pig & Dan's 'Deliverance'. Quite a relief after the suckfest that is this disc.

Overall: 4/10 just for the few good tracks I mentioned.

I'll review CD2 when I get around to listening to it...

Chymera is a great track. Pity the rest is shit.

Seems a very odd choice for GU, given the general sound has shifted to the electroey house and techy stuff but still, felix?!, given i can't suggest anyone else who'd be a good choice right now.

I was thinking about what I wrote there earlier today, then the D'OH! moment came to me

Just realized 'Arabesque' is also in 'This is...Sander Kleinenberg'. No wonder why it sounded familiar, lol

... not sure how that happened, but mind as well be cause that's how strongly I'm looking forward to Mr. Warren's next effort.

LOL, Nick Warren should have gotten his own series like Seb Fontaine.

I downloaded that one but never got around to listening to it. I think I even lost it, guess I'll download it again right now.

not spectacular, but i must say i enjoyed it.

CD 1 was pretty bangy repetitive and boring at times but it did pick up and when it did it was really good.

CD 2 was a more consistently fun

this reminded me more of an early GU (i.e. Tony De Vit and Danny Tenaglia)

Glad to see someone new do a GU asides from the same people over and over. I'm much more excited to hear this mix (which isn't technically that good of a mix) than anything put out by the Deep Dish duo or Warren (although i'm a fan of him).

I'd go back a bit further than that, to the days of Yoshiesque... great album, really opened my ears to a lot of great music, I guess the Luke Fair and the SOS camp is the direct descendant of that style.

Are you kidding me? I understand you are up for new faces, but this GU turned out to be garbage, at least the first disc...

well GU turned to garbage recently. i'm just happy to have fresh garbage rather than the same old recycled shit.

and yes, CD 1 was pretty repetitive and blah, but it had a few moments. I still find my self enjoying a CD 2 a bit.
