  • GU 45 - Danny Tenaglia - Brooklyn

I couldn’t get to the end of mix one. Too many old tunes I’ve heard too many times. On a positive note, John Elliot from Trafik did a bang up job mastering it, or polishing a turd.

4 days later

Gave this a full listen today. Cd1 on way into work, cd2 on way home.

It’s a stinker isn’t it? The most forgettable tracks and vocals. Nothing of any note on either disc. That Radio Slave track on cd1 is one of the all time worst things I’ve ever heard too

How the mighty have fallen. From the majesty of Athens to this tripe

    Don’t say that I’ve just ordered the GUDT baseball cap!

    He’s been rubbish now for 20 years, so this shouldn’t come as any surprise to anyone.

        Dry-Tinder I did like cd1 of his Balance though so I was kind of hoping this might be similar

          On the flip, Saiz’s balance is somewhat better than I expected.

          I was finally able to listen to this.

          I thought Disc 1 was pretty inoffensive - which is better than I was expecting tbh. The DT & Cevin Fisher track was surprisingly decent and there’s nothing as egregious as say ‘In and Out of My Life’ on there. It’s generally too “funky house” for my tastes, but it grooves along alright and it at least very vaguely sounds recognisably Tenaglia (in his housier mode).

          Disc 2 however turned out to be the kind of thing I was dreading from him - mostly just dull as dishwater, plodding “melodic techno” type crap. The Jay Lumen and Developer tracks were the only time my ears perked up a bit. The vast majority of the rest seemed the kind of generic bilge that anybody in that sphere could have put out.

            Fair play Hugo, along with @SM001 , @alistair and @Wasily, you’re putting some serious commitment in and actually giving a whirl stuff that should be left in the proverbial wrapper!

              but but but - it has a Digweed & Muir track on it… (which is rubbish)

                hugopal Agree with this. CD1 is a decent listen but CD2 is utterly forgettable

                  Does anyone actually buy these kind of mixes any more? Let alone a fucking Danny Tenaglia mix. Talk about jumping the shark.

                    Millsy Does anyone actually buy these kind of mixes any more?

                    No idea, I just listened to it on youtube.

                      Millsy I actually bought Voorn’s GU on CD. I remember liking it upon release, but could not now name one track on it.

                        James Lavelle’s Bushtucker GU is mint.
