Should have known GU was never going to come out of the toilet.. Solomun?... really!?

I understand that this is not the good old days but that T/L looks as boring as bat.


Thoughts people?

This track list is not that bad

and I don't think GU will ever go lower than Felix the hoax:p
Mr Game+Watch
He's a pretty unexpected choice for GU's reboot but I do like what I've heard from Solomun.

I'm all for more GU, since I'm a sentimental 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.
Mr Game+Watch
Minimix is up. Disk 1 is pretty good, disk 2 is OK but sounds a bit like a relic from 2007.

why would they travel somewhere to do a mix cd?

thought that was just a naming gimmick.

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.

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.

Paradox Lost
With a headliner and tracklisting like that, I get a feeling that GU is trying to refashion itself to resemble something like Balance ten years ago.

The only thing I wish they would revitalize is the 'Electric Calm' series.
