Re: Which is the best Global Underground Album?
I thought Disk 1 of the Barcelona GU was pretty good - but the rest were shit, I'm with you on that. Seamen's Melbourne was the worst GU IMO. Disk one is just complete noise, disk 2 is the definition of bspf - long drawn out intros/outros, extended breakdowns every other track, build-ups to nowhere. Just a total waste.
NYC - mostly for nostalgic reasons, some classics on this one
Hong Kong - Totally captured the late 90's progressive trance sound
Ibiza - See above
Reykjavik - Perfect for the ride to the club (disk 1) and the ride home (disk 2)
Shanghai - Great mix for long drives to nowhere
Moscow - 90% flawless. It builds and builds right up until Bird of Prey, then it just comes to a screeching halt. Damn good otherwise.
#1 GU of all time:
LA - Not only the best GU, but best mix album period. Like Dark Side of the Moon or OK Computer, this is a musical masterpiece that requires long repeated listenings with high quality headphones to really appreciate it. I'll be playing this one until I'm old and grey and it should be preserved so that future generations can experience it.
