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

[quote=feather;700024]So have you heard that album from the once-cool label by that dweeb who used to be part of this hot electronica band? I'm thinking a number between 30 and 37. Take a guess ;)[/quote] Nice one.

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

Snagged my GU out of the mail box a bit ago, I have high expectations after hearing some favorable reviews. After Uruguay and Singapore this might be his first great mix, in my opinion.

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

I just got my longbox. I have to listen to it a couple of times. I did not like cd 1 so far.

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

I will wait until the long box is £5 on Amazon, like I do with all my Cd's. Got Hernan's Masters 2 last week bargain.

I wish I could get cheap long boxes on amazon. I bought Bogota for $22.00

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

Disc 2 is definitely the one for me. Some great tunes on there. Disc 1 has its moments too.

A solid release from Emerson & GU.

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

Best one of the 30's for sure. This release was long overdue and Im hoping the series get back on track after a long hiatus. Looking forward to Jum Rivers firing Nubreed back up!

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

I've listened to this a handful of times, and I think it's not too bad. I still like Warren's last two outings better, but it's a nice shift in theme and not straying too far from the sound that GU has been known for (I'm looking at YOU Felix Da Housecat for that GU34 which I still fucking hate).

Can't help but think though that GU's best days are far behind them. I'm not sure if I should be excited or not for the Nubreed and the Fancuilli mixes that are coming up from them.

In all fairness... I imagine it would be extremely hard to play after Hernan and top that :lol:

was wondering if i should bother to catch him this weekend but looking at that i think i should skip it unless someone else has caught him recently as well and has a different opinion

weird thing is that the party is by some guy that used to run Tunnel in NYC and Samantha Ronson is on the same bill :what

I got my long box for £5 and was pleasantly surprised, I really enjoyed both discs and actually think its better than his last 2 GU's

Re: GU 36 - Darren Emerson - Bogota

In this compilation I think I only like one track.
