mysterynyc Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 just listening/enjoying CD1. I have to say, MUSICALLY, one of the best dance albums ever. BOTH CD 1 and 2.Sasha, when he's at his best/not on drugs...is the best mixing DJ on the planet.This was the first ever GU CD I heard, this is what got me HOOKED on GU and other stuff, and brought me away from cheese.One more thing...this album is a dance music equivalent of the Pink Floyd albums. EPIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigpoppanils Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Sasha Ibiza was better.....mercury and solace (quivver), future in computer hell, heaven scent, xpander.......CD2 was fucking awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breakbeatz2 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 sasha's ibiza was a lot more "appealing" but it was NOT better then 009. CD2 of ibiza was sick, CD1 had a sick sick remix of space maneuvers. and the best part was CD2 when sasha was sampling and messing around with "reach out for me...." (i forgot the name of that song)009 was when sasha was, in my opinion, the best DJ in the world Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vlock942 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Sasha - San Fran is by far the best GU ever made and I'd have to say John Digweed - Sydney is second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been going backwards musically after doing a bunch of amazing essential mixes in 98 and 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bLizAnci Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 you guys are aware that all the gu compilations are mixed by computer not by hand. (except for nick warren's)-z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysterynyc Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 Originally posted by sleepiswaste you guys are aware that all the gu compilations are mixed by computer not by hand. (except for nick warren's)-z yeah Nick Warren & Darren Emerson ( he does it at his home studio with decks)all the others are done with ProTools, but I think Sasha in San Francisco, is clearly done by him as well. First time I heard that CD,circa 1998, I didn't know what compilations were/that they existed, so I thought it was one big song for the first 15 minutes , but then I look on the back cover and I realized it was separate tracks.I was like...wow, this guy has talent.

vlock942 Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 Sasha, Digweed, Seaman, Oakenfold - Pro ToolsWarren, Emerson, Tenaglia - Mixed live Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vision Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 i heard one of dt's cds was mixed livewhat do they do??do they record their set and then get in a studio and re-record/re-mix their set??i always wondered bout that cuz you figure they played an 8 hour set or so and then its dropped on 2 cd's(70+ minutes each) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bLizAnci Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 they are not live sets....they are based on the live preformances of the gig.tracks are chosen then mixed on pc.-z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribal Posted February 5 Report Share Posted February 5 i think there are 2 kinds of GU albums. the ones that are successful commercially because of the popular tracks and the ones that push the boundaries, that are revolutionary. for example Sasha Ibiza is commercial success, as well as a great set, but San Fran was revolutionary, its something else. Take Oakey, NY was amazing, it was original as well as commerically succesful. Emerson Uruguay was a revolutionary set, while not too successful commercially. DDish Moscow was a commercial success while i dont think it was that original. see what im getting at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
