If you're hip to the G U phenomenon, you'll love this collection as much as I do. To listen to this collection, especially the first two discs, is like listening to the entire G U catalog in one shot, but rather than feel compressed in a bad way, it somehow makes the music feel more expansive instead. It's simply amazing how so many highlights of G Us past are woven together to create something brand new yet familiar. It gives you the feeling that some experience from the past is being brought into the present, and having that experience feel even better than you remembered it being. It's like revisiting your past and not being disappointed by it for a change. It's a really neat trick to pull that off and there are some truly spine tingling moments here. And disc 3 of classics is like a cherry on top. Well done, all. If you've ever loved GU, you'll love it all over again when you hear this. Nice packaging, too. A great summing up of a great era in music. Can you tell I love it?

I am glad to say that this cd set is by far the best one yet in the global underground series. I own just about all of global underground series and this cd mix is like a greatest hits of all those cds to date. The collection is huge spanning over 3 cds and has songs from Sasha, Danny Tenaglia, Underworld, Felix Da Housecat and thats just naming a few. This set is a must buy if you love the global underground series.

It's simple, take a trip back to those classic tracks where GU all began. I still remember the striped pants and wild hair and the girls grinding in bikinis.

Tracks are brilliant. CD 3 is a bit too old for my liking but love the progressive classics of CD 1 and 2. Nice big velvet box to put on the shelf with booklet of the same size with pictures and info. about the past GU series.

CD 4 the GUmusic (unmixed) is fantastic and I loved using the tracks within my mixes.

A 5 out of 5 for any avid GU fan such as me and so cheap for a great collectors item. JBhifi is selling it for over $100Aus cause it looks expensive, so buy it from here. Is a feature of the bookshelf and even a non-GU fans will want to take a look and have a feel of the velvet and say 'ooo nice box'.

When I bought this item right away I knew it was good. Every time GU comes out with the new CD release it comes out to be nearly perfect. So when I saw the description of it saying mixes of all GU's grated releases. Each CD offers you something different. From Decades to compilations you will always have something good to pick from. Because the box is 10" in size you virtually get a book not just a small cover that usually comes with CD's. The book is like a magazine each page has an article form different DJ's about their memories and events when their GU albums released.
Get it and you will not be disappointed. But if you probably reading this by now, you don't need me to tell you that. I know you already made up your mind.

This review is only on the packaging. The packaging looks very nice, it is a 10" size red velvet box, a bit smaller than a LP. The big problem is that inside the CDs are placed next to each other (two in the top, two in the bottom). As a result, the chances that they get dislodged during transport are high: I got two copies of it and in both cases, all four CDs were dislodged and consequently scratched.

The difference between this edition and the non-limited edition (ASIN: B000F5GKP4) is the fourth disc with unmixed songs. If this is the reason you plan on buying this edition, you can find most of the songs in their unmixed full length versions either on the GU 10 (unmixed) version (ASIN: B000GPI3BC) or on the artists' albums.

I do not recommend this item, the rating of 1 star is based on the state in which it is unfortunately likely to be received, that is, damaged.

I ordered this a few months ago and my discs arrived loose and somewhat scratched, especially disc 2. I didn't care much for the bonus disc but liked the first disc best. I imagine there is some kind of licensing issue but there is no Paul Oakenfold mixes on this set. That is surprising since Oakenfold had so many GU sets. My first GU purchases were two of the Oakenfold sets. I can't really recommend this limited set because of the damaged discs and lack of Oakenfold.

Quality AND Quantity in this set! Sure it's a compilation of compilations, but it works and the 'extra's' discs make it even more worth while. Especially the 87-95 mix. Some of those tracks are awesome. Enjoy it while it lasts.
