    This could have a silver lining for Eric Prydz, I thought that Nic was taking Eric's spot. GU might be able to salvage Eric's mix after all.

        Its seems to me GU finally get some new blood worthy of doing the main series and what do they do ? give them a spin off. GU seems to have a Negative Midas Touch these days. I really think they may as well called it a day when they went into Administration back in 2003.

            "Global Underground" has got to be the biggest misnomer out there

              Seems to me these day no one wants to do a mix CD that just involves mixing some nice tracks for a CD. Everyone's CD has to be totally unique from anything anyone else has done. Seems it has to be a Mix-Artist Album which involves fucking around with the tracks that much that they barely resemble what they once where. I get the impression that the goal more about being different than good.

                Nic Fanciulli is hardly "new blood". And what the hell is he looking at?

                    Chunky you have hit the nail right on the head my man. It's like a disc with 14 tracks mixed one after the other is illegal these days. I can't think of any release from the past 4 years that I've enjoyed more than the releases I purchased prior to that.

                    Although saying that, I have this year picked up Fanciulli's two Ren discs and they are straight forward sets that I have enjoyed a lot.

                      They need to reinvigorate the series .. with top DJ's, although the problem is that people d/l the CD's or buy them off e-bay.

                      The long-boxes make the sets buyable and collectable ... but there is only a handful a DJ's that can shift reasonable units and even fewer still that can retain GU's credibility.

                      Plus you need to persuade the producers to hold back their music and keep it exclusive so the release isn't a load of tracks everyone's heard.

                      In theory, Sasha has enough current music and there are producers like our own Nomad in The Dark which could be persuaded to keep some exclusives back. Also Sasha has some of his own music he could launch (e.g. his remix of Adam Parker's Highlife) and he a current relationship with GU.

                      For some reason he'd rather toil over a compliation for 2 years and then throw away parts of it while things like his Malta set are made available free !

                      This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                          he's never blown me away as a dj, but i would be interested to see what his GU will be like.

                          Emersons brought things back on track, lets see if they can keep up the momentum!

                            Yeah I agree. I think from a financial point of view Fanciulli would of been better off doing the main series as I recon there are people out there who have collected the whole series and would buy the CD to keep there collection up to date. I had all of the Limited Editions till the Adam Freeland GU then I drew the line.

                              But from the record label's point of view 'just mixing some nice tracks for a CD' is not as PRable as launching a new series and all the fanfair that comes with it. The DJs don't make thier money from mixing comps, but from doing live shows, so they don't really care as long as thier profile is pushed as much as possible, and what better way to achieve this than by having them front an entirely new project. Yes, for 'heads' like some of us it's transparent, but it leaves both the record label and artist happy in the short term.

                              The problem is, most of these spin-off series don't have the quality, depth or longevity to get past the first few titles, so after the inital furore they just fade into complete obscurity, as I anticipate this will

                                I wonder if they will do a Global Underground DJ – 002 or even do more than 24/7
