Enjoying this so far - wouldn’t say I’m a techno lover tbh - appreciate he’s tried something a bit different and I think it works.

    Wally I agree. He’s blended the right records together and it works as a seamless, engaging listen. You don’t notice the many of tracks are only 90 seconds each and it has made me seek out the individual tracks that really stand out. Think it will age well.

      Saw the deluxe / collectors edition, serious bit of kit. I’m assuming this is in the same vein to his Balance mix? Lots of minimal tracks that work together?

        Lightfoot this is all club from (nearly) the start. His Balance had lots of interludes.

          Lightfoot

          GU is loads more techno than the balance set. Balance was a lot more progressive and varied.

          similar number of tracks though , Balance just over 100 and GU 118

          CD2 of GU has a genuine European techno vibe

              It’s a lot less disjointed that the Balance one too

              gave this another shot today, it’s awful, there’s no debate. maybe there are a couple of good tracks in there, but you’d never know as none of them last more than 30 seconds. if this were a vinyl mix, at least it would’ve taken some technical skill, but as is, it’s a flow-less mess.

              edit: oh and i forgot to mention that ‘god’ track. what the fuck was that? he would’ve been better off putting game master in the middle of the mix.

                Mad_Cyril i tried to be open-minded given some of the reviews, but it’s objectively terrible. made it to track 38 on the second mix this time, was a complete waste. i have no idea why anyone likes it, but to each their own.

                  Received my CD yesterday and blasted it today, and enjoyed it immensily. Yes, I bought it twice. Suck it haters.

                  I have also been daydrinking today. Not sure if that factors in.

                  Did you buy it twice to enjoy throwing it away doubly ?

                  or are you just looking for matching book ends.

                  not sure what you’re drinking ? ! Meths ?

                  Buying it twice?

                  Listening to it once was bad enough.
