5.0 out of 5 stars
Undeniable Double Mix-CD Set, December 15, 1999
This review is from: Global Underground: 008 Brazil (Audio CD)
Like the DJ Kicks Series, the Global Underground collection is a near can't miss for underground electronica. Nick Warren drops and flows through progressive trance, techno, ethno, electro, and acid house with grace and ease...the beats and loops are diverse, eclectic, and infectious. Nick has got skills, nice production sensibilities, and great taste in music. I can't see him being without a DJ gig anytime in the immediate future...which is a good thing.

An aural soundscape for the ages...., May 3, 2000
This review is from: Global Underground: 008 Brazil (Audio CD)
The first disc of this set I found to be a bit repetitive and boring. The second disc, however - I don't think I've ever heard a CD as good as this one. Warren takes us on a journey from the first beat of the first track right up until the end, and along the way we hear everything from eastern sounding instruments on Madagascar's "Your Beautiful" to exotic chanting on Voices of Khawan's "Ya Yea Yo Yo Ma" to hard sounding synths in Forth's "Reality Detached" and gorgeous vocals in Tekara's "Breath In You". This disc has it all, the perfect build up and peaks that can make listening to this disc while driving a near hazardous experience :) Bottom line here is that your paying for a 2CD set even though there's only one disc here that's really worth bothering with - but its sooooo unbelievably good that it makes the price very well worth it. The only thing I've heard that even comes close is Sasha's Global Underground Ibiza album.

He is one of the best i've heard-beyond all doubt, June 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Global Underground: 008 Brazil (Audio CD)
Quite possibly the best G.U.cd made. While listening to this I found myself sitting with my eyes closed and just feeling the sounds that Warren puts through his equipment. More than often I was saying wow that was cool or my friends would say "holy! how'd he do that?" Amazed at how well he moves through songs that no one else has. He can toy with people's emotions and feelings as well as their bodies at whatever club he's at. Until you've seen a few hundred people dancing and cheering when you play one of his songs you'll never know what I mean. When he gets moving his album takes control and you hear the voices screaming in the tunes you can feel what he's thinking. Faster and faster the music builds up in speed and sound till Nick introduces you to a whole new area of feeling with his music. This one is one that'll stay in my hands for a while.
