5.0 out of 5 stars Nick saves his best GU for last!, July 13, 2005

This review is from: Shanghai (Audio CD)

Nick Warren's 6th Global Underground release is the best one yet, and should go down as one of the best of all the GU series. He started with some funky trance (Prague), moved into some harder, progressive trance (Budapest, Amsterdam, Brazil), then most recently into some quirky progressive house (Reykjavik). Reykjavik was not my style at all, but the superb Way Out West artist album released last year brought Nick back to my attention very quickly, and the bonus mix CD from Don't Look Now was just the tip of the iceberg of what is to come with GU#28, Shanghai.

It starts off slow, just like that last mix, and slowly brings you uptempo until the beats begin to tear as we get into one of the best tracks on CD1-Over It by Tini Tun. Nick has assembled tracks from artists all over the world for this mix, but you wouldn't know it as the steady beats, and generous melodies all seem to come together perfectly on the 2 discs. Attention to theme definitely played a big part here, as the entire CD 1 is an incredible journey from start to finish, and it's STILL only a taste of what is to come with the even better CD2.

CD2 wastes no time pumping the BPM's and we get some nice vocal tracks early on, then a steady mix of dance floor stomping progressive house tracks and some breakbeat follow. The pace never lets up until the last track, where you finally get a breather.

Much more danceable and consistently faster than either Reykjavik or the Don't Look Now mix CD, this one get Nick back to true form, a dance floor filling madman on the decks!

Nick Warren's best in the series and one of the best GU's you will find. I got the limited long box, which has a very nice, and very big book inside. It's worth the extra few bucks, as this one is something special. The best progressive house mix of the year!

5.0 out of 5 stars Old Formula worked to perfection, August 6, 2005

This review is from: Shanghai (Audio CD)

Progressive landscape has been changing. Experimentation with dirty techy sounds has plagued many recent mixes with some successfully and some horribly lame results.

Nick Warren proves that you if you stick to the old formula you will deliver a solid mix, which will stand out in horde of electronic releases this year.

I can compare this release to Sasha's GU 13 Ibiza. The mixing and the tracks create a perfect blend of good ole progressive with a new upgraded feel. First CD is a bit mellow and 2nd cd completely takes you away. "Acperience" track by Hardfloor is where the Mix peaks. Certainly, something that you would want to hear in a club at 3 30 - 4 am. Get the crowd jumping up and down:)

In my opinion this as good as electronic can get these days. Impressive release that will make it to GU Series Hall of Fame.

P.S. GU series succeeds with 2 releases in a row this year. Danny's 27 and Nick's 28.v
