It’s clear that changing the message board killed the brand.

Who owns it now BTW?

    Homegrove a fair amount of truth in that I reckon. They went up their own arses, didn’t realise the stalwarts of the message board were their biggest advocates and basically fucked themselves over. All started with that Felx Da Housecat GU and downhill from there.

        I always assumed that they killed the board as part of the sale/take over. Didn’t take a rocket scientist to come in, appraise the situation, and realize that there was no way of moving forward with that sewer openly flowing. We obviously loved it, but when you want to move into the world of selling luggage tags to euro trash you really can’t have a fully functional message board running wild.

          Romania being cop.

          Give it a (bucha) rest

          Christ that is dreadfully shoe-horned.

            Overall, GU34: Milan is a mixed affair and a mixed blessing: it shows Global Underground’s willingness to open its door to unlikely and unexpected figures, but it only half-successfully helps reassessing Felix’s own credentials as a DJ and, most importantly, a taste-maker. That said, anything (such as CD1) that can make you forget so easily the guy’s horrendous latest attempt at the long-player format is more than satisfying by me.

            Not my words Stuart, the words of RA!

                Imagine sitting down with your media consultant for the first uncomfortable conversation and at the top of his yellow legal pad you see “Dermot Mulligan” in a huge red Sharpie circle.

                Dan never even listened to it, the tracklist and cover art made assume it wasn’t really for the likes of me. GU:Swerve as I like to call it.

                    Millsy I think I nabbed a copy off Limewire years ago and backed it after 20 minutes.

                      Can’t see Diggers doing LA if he got shafted with Hong Kong. He’s a savvy business man is uncle John.

                      Did hear they fucked loads of people over though.

                      Oh I am 100% sure it was Digweed who said that. Perhaps it was just for LA, but I could swear it was both. He specifically referenced the boat in the Getting Away With It documentary, which makes me think Hong Kong was included due to the time frame.

                      Just listened to Jimmy Van M’s Bedrock again and think I’m siding with CD2.
                      CD1 has some monster tunes in ‘Control Of Sound’, ‘Barotek’ and ‘Lacuna’, but enjoyed CD2 from start to finish more.

                        That is a tough call. Not sure I agree, but I absolutely think it is up for debate. I also just listened to that one the other day. I will say this: he seriously bangs it out on that one. I forgot how fast and heavy he gets. He really lets it rip in the center to the end of disc 2. That was honestly the last time prog was good.

                        Yeah man. Yum Yum into Control of Sound, into that one is a great chain of tunes.
