i was collecting them from the beginning and adam freeland Mexico was the swan song that it was never going to get close to the old comps. therefore i have
satoshi new breed
lavelle Romania and Barcelona
deep dish Moscow , Toronto and after hours mixes
hugopal thst was the last GU CD I bought, although I purchased a digi’ copyof Paris which was an insta’fail.
Didn’t dislike Miami, but definitely didn’t live up to the hype for me
Forgot about Freeland’s Mexico, it was so bad I’d erased it from my memory box.
Miami for me summed up what I’ve been saying for years.
That Danny Howells is massively overrated.
Shame as Tectonics is a fantastic mix.
Smallman1 people turning up thinking Ron Wood is spinning some tunes
’What’s Ronnie Wood doing playing shit prog?'
jonattonyeah tectonics was superb along with costal breaks 2. on tour started to get a bit of a racket but was bearable. by the time the fabric mix came round withwe want your soul type breaks he had completely lost me
agree miami was shocking
Reckon I’ve seen Howells say 10 times.
9 of those times he’s been absolutely fucking dreadful.
Ruined one of my birthdays at The End he was so bad though he did give me a free tequila tbf.
Smallman1 surely after strike 3…
Agreed. Technics is one of the few mixes from that era I still pull out from time to time. Still sounds great. His GU just seemed like someone who’d lost the plot. All that French/Justice style of…I don’t even know what to call it. Think Carl Craig’s mix of Faze Action is good, ‘though. Unique track that.
Saw Howells at a tiny club in SF. Played the night before in Los Angeles. Would normally fly up but due to wildfires planes were grounded. He drove the 5 hours up for the gig. Leveled the place.
Other times he was good but never quite got to top gear. Never made it to the Diggers peak time vortex level.
Cd2 of Zabiela’s Balance is superior to 1, although both are good. Proper peak time work out
