How many is too many and what frequency are you talking here? GU24 was done back in 2003 and his followup didn't come until 2 years later.
Also, I think GU is feeling the squeeze of the compilation market, hence why they are moving towards more artist-type (Lostep and UNKLE) and concept albums (Fundacion). |

| That's 6 releases in 9 years...hardly anything to complain about in regards to excessive frequency, IMO. |

Add to the fact that he said 24 was gonna be his last one (and its too bad cause it would have been a great one to end on) :p |

| 027 proves otherwise, excellent album. The other compilations are good too though |

I think 3 from the same dj in 5 years time is too many for a compilation like this. You have a point that they are feeling "the squeeze". |

As much as I don't want to admit, I strongly feel that GU has long lost its edge. There are a number of superior mix compilations from other labels like, Fabric, Balance, and Renaissance.
GU needs to ditch the same DJs they hire over and over again and give more chances new talents. |

Or get Digweed to do another one, although with his Transitions series in the works I dont see that happening... :/ |
