Which GUs are the best down to the CD level

[djkix]

So which top 2 or 3 GU CDs do you like the best as in which CD (CD 1 or 2) as many take distinctly different persona between the two, and why?

Warren's GU Shanghai CD1 is amazing from start to finish.

Sasha San Fran CD1 is the best CD of music ever made IMO

You know my list tends to switch up ever so often depending on my mood, however GU19 has always been in constant rotation.

GU019 CD1
GU013 CDs 1 and 2 - all time best ever for me. I always come back to them from time to time. CD1 from the Bassline Track, then to My Lexicon, then the bouncy Move! to again Sander's Sacred...really on fire. CD2 is every bit as strong; I love Xpander being there right at the midpoint and near the end, Computer Hell ties in really smooth to Heaven Scent. Couldn't ask for better tracks. Makes great driving music. S&D's Livesets sets you can find circa 1999 (i.e. Essential Mix) have lots of these tracks.

Re: Which GUs are the best down to the CD level

Ibiza Disc 1 is mixed really well. I recall an interview with Sasha saying how well he mixed that one, but couldn't quite get Disc 2 right.

San Francisco Disc 2 is a great peak time mix.

Nick Warren - Prague (both discs)
Sasha - San Francisco (both discs)
Sasha - Ibiza (both discs)
John Digweed - Hong Kong (disc 2)
Nick Warren - Amsterdam (disc 1)

Of course, there are many other GUs that I like but these are my favourite standouts.

Re: Which GUs are the best down to the CD level

not one mention of DT's Athens....?

the way tenaglia works in deep-house, tech-house, techno, prog, trance, and tribal is brilliant

...the album was sooo ahead of its time
