Re: GU 013 ibiza

absolutely my fav edm album ever and still ranks #1 in my book after nearly 10 years. this is the album i always give to edm newbies who's just getting into the scene.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

that may have been a zappa song, but that guy added his own twist to it and made it even better.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

^ werent they bums on the street that sasha had sampled!

probably the most original intro to edm cd i've heard!!!

love the way it fades into the first tracks!!

Re: GU 013 ibiza

hmm...time to pull out some of the old GU's :D

Re: GU 013 ibiza

Classic thread for a classic CD.

The first half of CD1 and the second half of CD2 are pure magic; I honestly cannot see music being made like this anytime soon.

Tracks 1-6 on disc 1 are the best programmed tracks on any disc anywhere. He really was the man back then.

I remember I went to Creamfields in 1999, and there were flyers all over the floor advertising this release (it hadn't come out yet). The flyer simply said 'The world's greatest DJ returns to Gu this autumn'. Thsi was in the days before I was on the web, so I didn't know the tracklist until the day I boight it - happy days!!!!!

I have to say I miss those days... where you can't wait to rip open a brand spanking new CD and give it a spin... no promo digital downloads.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

having listened to both discs this week i had goosebumps at certain points, and was going "Huh?" at other points. music has changed so much since this and similar discs were released. music is so much more sophisticated now, i love the past, all he while fully embracing the present.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

listening to this right now.... Disc 2

Re: GU 013 ibiza

I managed to extract all the mixes from my old iPod and transfer all of Sasha's GU, Digweed's GU, Renaissance, NE 1-3, Winning Ticket, JDJ onto the new iPod for keeps again 8)

Yeah just a couple years back people are still guessing at tracklists for releases and live mixes. That was the thrill and frustration of hearing a good track and finding out what it was 6-12 months later :shock: And all those white labels and unreleased mixes :lol:

While it's a good thing that EDM has proliferated as much as it has on the net and this is pretty much the underground now, the speed of commuication has also made it easier for everyone to pick up on tracks and who's playing what, which I think has led to even more fads and trends in EDM, which has homogenized the sounds somewhat.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

^ i miss the old days exactly because of this.

there was more passion about it back then. it was a new tune u had to hunt out. now its all da tinternetz and stuff!!!

Re: GU 013 ibiza

The problem these days is (i) the music is thrown together quickly & is disposeable ... almost the equivalent of plastic packaging (ii) dj's worry about being different rather than having conviction in the quality of the musical product.

It's braver to say, these are the tracks I like, and I'll play them regardless of whether other DJ's are too.

In the past Sasha proved that it wasn't just the tracks that are magical .. it's the way you combine and blend them, and the journey you take the listener on. The special thing about GU 013 is the overall listening experience, rather than the tracks as seperate entities.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

^^^ Good point! Which is why Diggers Transitions cds are so fantastic.... He blends things into a journey just the way it should be. Doesn't concentrate to much on each individual track but makes a cohesive mix(which i believe is the whole point) with parts of tracks some longer then others. Dave Seaman has also been hitting the mark also with his newer mix albums....

Re: GU 013 ibiza

I just had to put it on. Its a classic for sure. And I have to agree with Jib about the goose bumps at some points.

Re: GU 013 ibiza

Same here... Just started listening to this classic again! Sacred has to be my fav track of all time!
