Havent kept up with him recently, last cd of his I bought was Balance, very techno heavy. His other GUs were tops so I am tempted to pick this one up. Hoping its more like GU London then his Balance cd

Re: NEW Global Underground 45 Brooklyn DANNY TENAGLIA

I didnt really like it either, a bit too much techno and not enough of his usual variety. I dont like alot of the balance comps, although Fortier's is really good and I like the Nick Warren Soundgarden one from 2019.

Danny, hasn’t put out a decent cd since his BackToBasics ones over 20 years ago. His Futurisum and Balance CDs were awful. I doubt that this will be any better. I don’t know why people get the idea that because he did a great mix for GU 25 years ago he will suddenly have a return to form. He did a great Essential Mix in 1994, people waited 25 years for another, which was terrible. Danny, had a sound back then, that sound is long gone.

That being said i hated FUTURISM when it came out in 2008.. it was too minimalistic and onesided. But i listenend the compilation recently and it actually stood the test of times. His track selection is absolutely second to none no matter what the genre is. i liked the Balance compilation and i think with GU Brooklyn we will have something similar..

Im interested because the tracklisting looks more like something I would expect from him. His strength was always no matter what genres he played, they all sounded like his sound. He made it all work together, like GU London or Back to Basics. I dont necessarily expect or need this to sound like 20 years ago but I would like to see more of his variety then the Balance cd offered. Techno wasnt the problem, just lack of his usual variety. That being said, GU is kinda marketing as a direct successor to his previous GU mixes, albiet 20 years later.
