this cd would be a great cd, however the us release in only one disc. so if your really looking to get your money's worth buy the uk version. well actually the us release is the only one w/ one disc. the rest of the world got two. ...

This disk is one of Cox's Best. Disclaimer to none tech and house lovers: that is what this album is, so if you don't dig it, forget it. For the rest of us, I would say there is nothing bad about this mix, however it is lacking in characteristic vinyl selection for the first several tracks, but the album does redeem itself late in the mix with awesome tracks like "Simulation." Due to the CD's late track comeback, and the fact that this is the best Cox I have heard on CD, which has not been marred by crowd noise, I'll give it 5 stars, and save the slander. The mix has grown on me after some time, and I do find myself returning to the up-beat energy offered by its' beats. This disk is good, but Not a masterpiece. Yet, still a good buy, check it out. It is worth it.

This mix is very heavy in the tech. lots of ringing cymbols and the dirty bass that Cox is famous for from his THREE turntables. This Disc is his best release by far. it is void of the ugly repetetive tracks that seem to devalue his other stuff. Global is a little more musical. A good mix starts with good track selection. this set definately has that. i am NOT a fan of F.A.C.T,Phuture,Live vol.1, or ultimateB.A.S.E...but i do like where Cox is going Now! Get Global. The best Tech-House CD in 03.

I heard cox at crobar recently and ran out to buy his cd. This cd is not the style i heard at the club, different style all together! However i cant rate it bad because the music is good and the quality is perfect, NO live crowd sounds (which i was worried about)

if you heard him live and are seeking that sound, this isnt it.

i just bought this cd and it the best techno-house that i have heard in a long time.Hey you got buy this Cd
Carl your the Bosss

If you're like me, you *know* Carl Cox is an outstanding DJ. However, you've also been disappointed by many of his "studio" albums. In general, I've found certain tracks and certain mixes off of his earlier stuff that I've really liked, but overall I've just figured that Cox is one of those DJs who really need a packed dance floor to do their best work.
Well, I guess it was just a matter of time. This disc is a really great mix. In my opinion, this is somewhat of a new (maybe, "different") direction for CC. The sound has a housier feel to it than any of his other work that I have, and the tempo matches that feel as well. I'm big into house, so this suits me just fine ~ though I do miss the harder, acid-dipped sound that I'm used to from some of CC's other stuff that I have (F.A.C.T. 2, for example). I don't think I'd agree that this disc has a "dirty" feel to it, though it is pretty deep. Anyway, keeps my head nodding non-stop. If you've shyed away from buying new works by this man due to disappointment in the past, I'd suggest giving him another chance. My guess is you'll like what you hear.

This is a great Carl Cox disc, the most consistent I've heard in a while (from him). Some of his other somewhat recent releases have also been great with one exception (IMHO)--the inclusion of the noise from the crowd. For me, I've always felt that this takes away from the music. It's kind of cool to hear the crowds reaction and energy, but I don't want to hear this everytime I listen to the disc--it gets old.
Carl Cox has skills and style, both present here (as expected). He remains one of the elite American DJs. This mix does a really good job of building tension and will make you want to dance. The second half of the CD is pretty intense, almost too much so.

This is a decent mix CD from Coxy that features some very nice tracks in a very "USA" style- deep and dark and dirty. I don't know why you would call this Techno, because it's not really...
What it is is a blend of tracks that fit the Carl Cox perspective, and while they certainly have Techno elements- the overall feel is somewhere between Techno, House and Trance...

Great techno music!! Nice mixing also. Definitely worth the money. It rocks from beginning to end, which is pretty rare for a mix cd.

Waiting for long to listen from him was worthy.This album is something amazing not only for its differend mixing styles and the perfectionistic work of the British master but becuse sounds like golbal music.Dont miss it
