Phenomenal, must-have CD.......2004-07-31

I purchased this on the strenghth of Peterson's reputation, the Desert Island Mix CD (worth having), and the other reviews posted on Amazon.com. It took months to find a copy but the wait was worth it. The selection of songs and artists is stellar. I couldn't imagine how the Underwolves, The Isley Brothers, Freddie Hubbard, Pharoah Sanders, Minnie Ripperton, A Tribe Called Quest and the rest could be mixed so smoothly and seamlessly but Peterson does it. He'll take you somewhere you won't want to leave.

Flavalicious Beats.......2004-03-26

Gilles Peterson, a long established Jazz Fusion DJ in the UK picks up a tantalizing composite of beats, rhythms and basslines to drive this compilation thru highs and lows. Unfortunately, this is the single CD version, so you'll be missing about half of the original released content which includes genres from Funkadelic, thru Brazilian, to Sara Jones' rap, banned in the USA for lyrical twists so fresh they blow your mind wide open. For what it's worth this is not a mix of well known tracks padded with garbage like you'll find on most various artist type compilations but is instead a true depth of music styles that truly represent just how original and serious this dude is. Forget DJ Krush, or stylised others, jus listen to music that'll sound fresher and stronger the longer its played

Amazing journey between genres, but BUY THE IMPORT (2-disc).......2002-11-04

You'll find copy after copy of this release for sale, but only the single discs. Apparently a "condensed" version also flooded the market, but narrowing down Gilles' original choice of tracks doesn't approximate what he was trying to do from song to song. The import version (2-disc set) is vastly more impressive, and though it spans many genres, it's still musically cohesive and makes you want to witness one of his sets yourself someday...

Gilles' best to date.......2001-12-21

The other reviews are eloquent descriptions of this fantastic album. Glad to see Gilles has broken through in the States! Readers might be interested to know that his new compilation, GP01, is also excellent (though not as eclectic as this); also look out for Worldwide Vol. 2, allegedly due in 2002.

Finally, another recommendation for a CD which opens up whole new worlds: Kruder & Dorfmeister's brilliant, brilliant entry in the DJ Kicks series. Gilles would have been proud.

Spectacular, but buy the import CD.......2001-10-01

The range of music is incredible. Really this is a collection of gems spanning decades and genres and yet mixed together with transparent expertise.

Because of this eclectic and obscure range, no matter how sophisticated you are, you will learn something about music by listening to this CD. I've listened to Peterson's Worldwide on KCRW for several years, and his range and influence and knowledge smack you in the face. He is most famous for starting Talking Loud and with it the Acid Jazz movement, which is in 2001 returning in full force in the nu-jazz movement (cf: Jazzanova, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Beatless, Nathan Haines, Truby Trio, Afronaut, and so on). But the range on this disk isn't just NEW music, and it isn't just JAZZ music, it's everything old and new, and that it is mixed together so smoothly is proof that Gilles Peterson is the world's greatest DJ. He is the DJ's DJ's DJ.

BUY THE IMPORT!!, it isn't just worth the extra money it is a spectacular deal. Precious gems. Something for everyone but for those with discerning taste for the greatest and most underground in any genre, it's diamonds and solid gold.
