No they are not the same place...

I remember being told the gu mix was from a recorded set from the Mayan by a reputable friend but it very well may have been based off a set from Giant instead, interesting to know which.

GU019 still gets regular airings ... I even upgraded to the longbox via e-bay.

I'd say out of all the Digweed GUs, its probably this or Hong Kong that have probably aged most badly,

I thought about that as well but it's difficult. For me, GU19 changed the sound drastically. If you looked at the GU catalog as an indication of anything, nothing sounded like GU19 until Digweed dropped that mix. And after, everyone jumped onto that bandwagon. It pushed the genre (or maybe it was headed this way and Digweed just picked up on it sooner) into creating productions that were a lot sparser, less melody-driven, more twisted, and generally productions that were less musical, more groove-driven and better use of aural space.

It only aged because everyone was doing it, and everyone was flogging it like a dead horse, over exposure plain and simple.

Sydney is the one i go back to regularily!

LA and Sydney are both excellent in their own ways! have to admit that i find Hong Kong more purist and LA more commercial!

LA was hardly commercial when it came out.

Re: Gu019

I don't go back to this as much. The thing that pisses me off about the cd is the recording quality of the mix. I love Sydney and Hong Kong better the LA. It has good tracks, it just the quality of the recorded master cd is low.

No, Giant is a promoter and The Mayan Theatre is a venue

Re: Gu019

Not only one of the best albums of the genre but I'd put it up there with Dark Side of the Moon, OK Computer, the first Rage Against the Machine and Best of CCR as one of the greatest albums period.

So yeah, i still throw this one in every now and then.
