Markus Schulz - Miami '05
Just picked up this CD from the local FYE.
The cover slip is pretty when you take it out of the CD case. It has some nice pictures in it and this little paragraph that made me smile:
"It's Sunday night, the clouds overhead are thick. Which on a Sunday night is a good thing. You see Sunday nights are special around here. It is a night that people all over the world tune in to what is beaming out of a radio antenna perched high above the tropical landscape and neon facades. It is a night that many people actually hope for clouds. You see, on a cloudy night around here, the radio frequencies bounce off the clouds and is able to be picked up by the faithful listeners on an island 90 miles off the southern most tip of the keys. This night is not like any other night at all. This is Sunday night in Miami. The home of Markus Schulz and his radio show Global DJ Broadcast. This is the night that fans all over the world unite around their radios and computers. The night that has given Miami a musical identity not understood by the herds of celebrity partiers that converge on South Beach every weekend. This is a night of pure musical passion."

So far, I'm done listening to the first half of CD 1 and I'm really digging this stuff. I love Markus and everything he does, especially the GDJB.
Review to come later tonight. 
EDIT:
Just finished listening to both CD's.
Here's my review:
CD 1 is a really interesting mix but it seems as though the tune selection is jumping all over the place. I still enjoyed listening to it. Unfortunately, it ended with one of the songs that I don't find any interest at all (I despise it, actually). Really ruined the experience.
CD 2 was disappointing, however. It started off with a sloppy mix from Fanatic into Sublimate and only went downhill from there. The tunes were really rather subpar and overplayed by now. Things were looking awesome after track 9 (Connected) started playing but it ended as soon as the final track (just as in CD 1), Language, came on.
Top Tunes:
Fluid in Motion - Soul Dimension
Progresia presents Sokaya - A Little Hazy Morning
Rating of 1-10 Scale (1 being the worst, 10 being the best)
Markus Schulz - Miami '05 ===== 5/10
If you want to own a BAD Global DJ Broadcast, purchase it at all means. Not worth buying, in my opinion. However, you should give it a listen-through if you get your hands on it. One or two of the tunes might interest you.
