Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

ok, judging from your review I will never listen to this

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

CD 2 is like we're used to from other GU instances much more dance floor orientated. The mixing on it is actually good and I enjoyed the mix from start to finish. Will give CD 1 a couple of more listens before I write it completely off.

All in all I give this release a 3/5 solid but nothing spectacular.

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

Disc one has great tracks on it BUT the mixing is so uninspired in places (just quick blends, tracks not fitting together...) it's disappointing. Could have been a great mix if he had put some more effort into the mixing imo. Have not listened to disc 2 yet.

Just finished listening to CD 1 and I agree with this. While some of the tracks are really nice the mixing at parts is sub-par specially in the age of computer mixing. I could look past this since I was enjoying the mix but the last 15-20 minutes are just a pile of cheese put on top of each other except for the last track "The Wheel" by SOHN which I really like.

I give it 2.5 out of 5 would have been 3.5 if it wasn't for those last 20 min

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

I'll never forget listening to Sasha "Ibiza" for the first time - a definite GU highlight for me (and San Francisco too )

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

Ok so people are saying this has some decent tunes on..... but more importantly I need to know before buying, are the sleeve notes written by Dom Phillips and his 'random adjective generator' ?!?!?!?

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

Decent tunes, really like the Broken Bells remix that's thrown on there. Not one of their best, but a welcome return to form.

Agree, some good tracks on it but some mixes
between the tracks sounds awful,
seems made it by a rookie.

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

Well, I didn't expect too much about this, but is a good comp.
very surprised about it, and the most important, sounds much
much much serious than the last experiments of GU.

Re: Solomun - Global Underground 40: Hamburg

So many bad decisions, the should have got Zabiela to do one around 02/03 probably Fancuilli to. Voorn would have been a good contender in recent years. Instead they got DJ's no one carred about.

I kind of thought that Zabiela and Voorn would have been more suited for the Nubreed series - especially Zabiela since he's always been doing his own thing.
