4.0 out of 5 stars Whoa! Not your average dance mix!, April 22, 2003

Okay, now first off let me tell you guys that when it comes to electronic music I'm new to the game. I've been a hip-hopper for the past 5 years, but recently I've beeen swaying towards the electronic genre a tad bit. I actually brought this record accidentally because the bonehead salesman at the shop put it in the wrong case. I went home thinking I had brought a John Digweed cd until I popped it my deck and heard how funky and fast this mix was. Now with all that said....THIS CD IS ROCKIN'! After realizing that what I was hearing through my car cd deck was too uplifting and moving for the dark and murky (yet amazingly dope!) Digweed, I started nodding my head and mashing the accelerator to the floor. Seriously, this cd starts off with a crazy Latin sounding house song with vocals over it and then moves into some sweet jazzy, funky, straight-up, "no-nonsense" dance music! But Emerson doesn't stop there--the next journey on his trip is back to the 80's with a couple of electro-break-beat soundin' tracks that just scream "pop" and "lock". Tracks 14 and 15 fade you out with a nice soulful groove. If you're looking for some fun, up-beat dance music to get your party started and have people asking the same question--"Damn! Who is this ill soundin' cat?" then GU20 Darren Emerson is for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars worth it for just for the first disc, February 27, 2003

Upon acquiring this disc, i first listened to it at a very low volume @ work. Hearing just the drums (basically), it seemed to be a very 'driving' cd, and I knew that I was in for much more when I had some private time to really turn it up. From the opening swirls of accordian, it just builds and builds into a
hOUSe-like crescendo, so that you end up wherever it is that you want to be. I myself, would like to be at a club absorbing it at a very loud volume.
Now I find out that Darren was w/ Underworld (whom I also love) and I see that he has a history. If you are looking for Underworld, then you should just play your UW cd's. Darren has entered a different world here.
Coming from the world of the sf hOUSe scene, I cannot more highly recommend these discs. Disc 1 is much stronger than the second,
but the guy is only tryng to evolve in as many directions as possible. If you buy this album w/ hOUSe in mind, you will keep it next to your cd player for a few months, then you will file it, then you will look for it, and then you will keep it by your player indefinitely. Myself, I will be ordering his other discs, searching for something else that may be as good as this one. Whether you are driving, sitting at home, or at a club, this album makes you want to do whatever it takes you to get in the right frame of mind to spin it over and over again. Looking forward to peace in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Why the bad reviews ????????, November 21, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Singapore (Audio CD)

This record is great, it moves you and drives your emotions. It really makes you want to dance. All of those complaining about the electro-voice effects all over the mix should listen to an Underworld record, thats what they always use!
So I don't understand all the other reviews that complain about this being far from the Underworld sound and far from good. Actually this mix is EXCELLENT !
