After a couple of average albums, Carl Cox has come up with Global, a mix that finally steps out of the long shadow cast by 1997's influential F.A.C.T. release. The British techno god has always enjoyed giving eardrums and cardiovascular systems the world over a good workout, and Global is no exception, as Cox weaves trance-drenched source material over his deliciously sadistic, hard techno beat. Simple and classic when it needs to be (Bryan Zentz's "Watch the Sun"), shamelessly minimalist when it wants to be (Ant's "Magnetic Field"), and assaultive when necessary (Cox and Christian Smith's "Dirty Bass"), Global is an adrenalized reminder that when he's on form, few produce quality, ready-made house party records like Carl Cox. --Steffan Chirazi

5.0 out of 5 stars Good, But Not a Masterpiece (worth purchasing), June 2, 2004

By	"tonyb303" (Mid-west, USA) - See all my reviews

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars -------------Fist Pumping Tech-House!---------------, January 24, 2004

By	E. Magnuson (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
