I'm all for more GU, since I'm a sentimental fuck like that, but isn't the point of GU that the artists travel somewhere? Releasing the CD from his home city seems a bit cheap.
The DJ used to talk about the tour in the name city in the sleeve notes, I always enjoyed reading them.
Dave Seaman's Melbourne mix also featured a lot of artists from melbourne (Kasey Taylor, Phil K, Luke Chable) .. but I guess this was probably coincidence given the popularity of those artists at that time.

thought that was just a naming gimmick.
They would generally do a Global Underground event in the city of choice with the DJ mixing the compilation as the headliner. The CD itself was invariably put together in the studio and might have had a very different tracklist to what went down in the club (in the GU:019 inlay, Dom Philips talks about Diggers' dropping Pushin' Too Hard, which isn't even on the mix) but that was the premise.
