lavelle live @ bukharest.......2004-05-14

This mix album at Bukharest represents how twisted one can get in oder to play with other people in a way that with which, one can show his love for discordance that is intelligently added to the mainstream pseudonyms of the shack ass aura.
It might spin some minds or may evade to punch the brainline of many but the thing with mix is puerly of the feel of it at times when you loss the proper attention required for getting enlightment. I think J.Davis is reknowned to have greatest influence on him but this specific mix is coming out of the condescending of the lavelle guy.
Way to go Lavelle you will be appreciated by it.

HARD, DRITY, and DEEP.......2004-03-12

Even though the whole GU series has been goin for quite some time it really was hit or miss on most of them. lately though something has happened, it's not just a mere 2cd mix but much much more. Being a fan of U.N.K.L.E and the last J.Lavelle GU (23), I purchaced this withouth any kind of hesitation, but truthfully i dident know what to expect. All i knew is that it was gonna be good. Strewn together between acid house, electro, and dirty breaks and rock its definately varied to please just about anybody with a heartbeat. With Meat Katie, U.N.K.L.E, and special re-edits of songs this GU real unique and hopefully sets a new trend for other Mixes to follow. Let's hope SASHA's GU comp has similer touches of greatness.

A DJ's mix is only as good as the songs in it.......2004-03-12

I picked up this mix a few days ago and I wanted it to sink in a little before saying anything about it. The thing is there isn't all that much there to sink in. I'll admit that I don't have any U.N.K.L.E. recordings, however I really enjoyed their remix of "No One Knows" and had hoped that this CD set would have more of the same. Now there are some very cool songs here, specifically at the end of the second disc, but the majority of the tracks here are sort of ho-hum and don't do that much for me. As cool as U.N.K.L.E.'s "In a State" is (Sasha's mix is fantastic), I find it a bit unnecessary to feature it twice. The same goes for some of the somewhat random voice-overs on many of the songs.

All in all, the mix does deliver some satisfying tunes, and it's worth checking out, but don't rush out to get it. I'd give it 3 and a half stars if I could, but the book-like packaging is pretty cool and here Lavelle does go out with a bang. For what it's worth, I can't help but feel as though this mix doesn't quite live up to the standard that has been set by some other GU featured artists. Hopefully Sasha's recently announced return to the label will raise the bar once again.

Good Times in Romania.......2004-03-11

Eclectic is probably the best way to describe this CD. Lavelle admits that the flavour is eclectic and easy listening. I couldn't agree more. By far one of my favorite tracks on this CD is the UNKLE "reconstruction" of Queens of the Stone Age-No One Knows. GREAT TRACK. This CD is certainly a showcase for Lavelle and Richard File under the name UNKLE. The remixes are sublime and add to the experience of this CD!
This is another SOLID addition to the Global Underground series and is well worth a listen! I can gaurantee that this CD will give you an eargasm!
