i like the melody, its nice someone still does plays it. Nick always plays some nice melodic progressive... I don't think cd 1 is as good as Rekjavik, but it is still good, and cd 2 kicks ass.
Imo Nick Warren isn't that great of a dj from what I've heard. Track selection is always on point but mixing wether cd, or live has never done anything for me. whichever GU it was that he did with the track "dirty" ( obscene , dirty, filthy, immoral, etc) was one of the worst mixed cd's I have ever heard. No thought put into it at all. I guess he's the only one willing to keep it going, aside from deep dish. I agree with the above, new talent or just halt the whole thing.
i agree. GU003 Prague seems to be a true "live" as in it wasn't mixed by a computer in a studio. you can actually hear train wrecking... yes, wrecking on an album. i've heard nick warren livesets countless times and while his track selection is quite good all the time, his mixing abilities is beyond crap. wreck, sudden slam mixing galore. why he continues to get GU releases is beyond me. i thought he retired already...
After about 13 listens, I have concluded this is a very solid alb. It carries well. In no means is it not epic on the other hand it is not a floater either. Nick always seems to pick out some bliss tracks that really shine out and he nails some big ones. I have found myself really enjoying listening to this in the morning or late in the evening. It just has a great feel to it. I really would ask you to buy the iTunes version if you can. For 9.99 you get the mix + a bunch of tracks. So way worth your money, and it is probably the only reason I sang'd it because of the bang per buck. I am not really down to drop $20.00 bucks on a miss, but since you get the tracks and the mix, it was way worth it. In retrospect, I would spend the 20 bucks.
doesn't iTunes only give you 128 mp3s?
anyway, i bought this last night and so far ii like it more than the other comp i bought this year, transitions 2
they have their own compression and it is sworn to be better. I think it is 128, but honestly there is no true difference to the human ear. People always think that 320 is better. It likes taking a vitamin thinking it is vicodin and feeling better. Wow! My pain just went away. The human mind, o how I love the human mind.
all of nick's CD's are recorded live. maybe in studio, but live on decks, he refuses the studio computer mixing and editing. polar opposite of sasha who has mixed everything on protools or ableton.

Nick Warren is a GREAT DJ .He really doesn't deserve to be slagged of by someone who probably has less than half his years behind decks (no offense intended)
p.s. why the hell should he retire!!!

he shouldnt. he is one of the few DJ's, sarsha and diggers NOT included, who can rip up any type of club on any random day. he can walk into a breaks club, a lounge, techno, trance, dnb, anything and do a wicked roof ripping job. show me a dj who does that and he gets the credit. one of the most well rounded guys on the planet, and still avoids leaving vinyl.

I decided I wasn't getting the mileage out of my CD's so I burned this one (along with some others) to get on regular rotation while in the car during work, so this one got a good few listens and I have to say that CD 2 is brilliant. I was going to jobs and not wanting to get out of the car until the CD had finished. CD 1 is OK, but nothing great. considering some of the shite people where playing back in 2007 overall a good release. I don't think I will ever get my head round Shanghai though.
