Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota
Definitely better than expected . . . (primarily, I think, because of lukewarm experiences with the Underwater comps . . .)
Both Kerri Chandler tracks are highlights. "Pong" is, for me, when Disc One really steps up from [B]Good[/B] to [B]Alright, Let's Go[/B]. Ditto for Disc Two. Argy's remix is tremendous.
The (semi-)climax of Voorn's "Blank" is quite heady -- whetting the appetite even further for his upcoming [I]Balance[/I] -- but the "killer app" of the comp, so to speak, is the transition between Recloose's "Dust" (with vocals by Joe Dukie) and Josh Wink's "Counter Clock 319." [B]Homina[/B]. While the Induceve Mix of the former is reminiscient of Ben Westbeech's "Hang Around" -- particularly thinking here of the Wahoo Main Mix (as featured on Agoria's very excellent [I]At The Controls)[/I] -- the latter is just plain AWE_SOME . . . the transition between the two creates that rare moment when it's all you can do not to [B]Pull The Damn Car Over[/B].
PS: Oh shit! Just realized the RA Podcast I've been listening to -- Sebastien San -- since finishing Emerson's GU also includes both of those Kerri Chandler tracks! arrrrweeeiiirrrddddd
