Disc 2s of Superior Quality

zackster

303abuser oh agreed. And I am sorry but it is 1998 not 1988. The required skills were well known at the time. It is astoundingly bad.

303abuser

zackster yep. maybe it just comes from djing and those who haven’t done it don’t notice or care, but mixing that poor will ruin any combination of tracks for me, no matter how good they are individually.

303abuser

Mad_Cyril lol i guarantee you could put those tracks together in a more interesting way and better mixed. might be a good board mix contest, see who can put gu007 together better than oakey. although with that track selection, you back is already up against the wall. 🤣

A great idea though. A re-mix your shittest GU CD comp

I don’t even blame Paul, honestly. I don’t think he knows any better. Having watched several of his interviews throughout the years, I am fairly sure he is retarded. He talks like someone who was drilled in the head with a log splitter. The idiots that turned up to see him spin and James & Andy are the real issue, because they are the ones exploiting a person with mental (and physical) deficiencies.

jonattonyeah

I mean, he mixes quite well considering he’s a primate.

ScottBailey It’s an interesting collection of tracks that probably not a lot of others had or were playing at that point in time

just to add, this is basically my point. oakenfold’s entire career was predicated on timing. if he shows up 10-15 years later, there’s no way any of us would have even heard of him. he’s like tong, contributed early in the scene, but really isn’t any good.

Disc 1 of GU007 is almost perfect. I cried to it listening to it driving round ibiza. I’ve nver actually heard CD2 but cannot believe it could be any better.

benson lol, just when I thought things couldn’t get any better

Yeah you were crying because the mix made your thyroid crater.

303abuser

lets switch gears and talk about how good disc 1 of buenos aires is. always been a big fan of that one. and while i like disc 2 as well, the first one is better.

ScottBailey

303abuser Playlist is all over the place and the mixing is atrocious. Would expect better from such a big name DJ

303abuser

ScottBailey lol i probably deserve that.

ScottBailey

303abuser all good pal. Enjoying the debate.

Love Twin Town and Breakthrough, but it honestly sounds like he’s just aligned everything in ProTools and used a basic fade out on the tune before when mixing. Lazy!

303abuser

ScottBailey yeah me too, it’s all good fun and makes no difference in the world anyways.

the mixing is lazy for sure, but at least it’s beat matched and phrased properly, even if some of the levels leave something to be desired. the programming is good though, i like the flow (intro is great and the last four to close have always done it for me).

Homegrove

ScottBailey I think I have to give it a listen tomorrow! No recollection of any of that.

Homegrove

ScottBailey Buenos Aires listened to. Thought it was just fine still. Disc 1 is deffo better than disc 2 though. Starting with that Adamski track it’s going to be tough to recover.

ScottBailey

007 CD1 is far more memorable than 006 CD2, in a good way…

SM001

I’m finding out very quickly from this thread that some of you did far too many yokes back in the day. 😅

Amps

SM001

I’m finding out very quickly from this thread that most of you have zero minerals.

LT42

SM001 I never tbought I’d see the day where GU9 CD2 and GU6 CD1 would take a hammering. Lockdown has had an untold affect on some. What has become of this place? 😪

zackster

Homegrove lol. A disc 1 mention pops up and suddenly you are interested.

Heno

Some revelations throughout!
