Reviews & Discussion
If there's one mixed compilation you would want to listen again before you die - this one would be it. There's no doubt in my mind that Disc 1 of this masterpiece is one of the best - if not THE best - mixed CDs I've ever heard in my entire life. The track selection, genius-like mixing and incredible set flow will blow your mind on a first listen. With GU 006 Digweed has created a masterpiece that is and will be embraced by fans for years and years to come. It is THAT good.
Just another Digweed GU bomb.
This starts off a bit slow on disk 1 to get you in the mood. Imagine is a great opening track to start you off. From there highlights include Flood before the emortal Elements. If you haven't had the pleasure of hearing this track this would be the CD to get to hear it. This song rocks!! Other highlights on a very smooth first set include Down the River and Slap me Some Skin. Very easy listening.
Disk 2 is the nuts. The last few songs are pretty trancy but up until Words (for love) it is the signs of Digweed again being ahead of the curve. Just nuts early prog and well worth the listen.
Highlights a plenty but check out Rub a Dub. Rocking party beat. Then Release. This absolute rocks before molding into Autobahnana. Lucky enough to have found it on vinyl (limited copies) and I can now mix those freeway sounds into anything I want. This song is nuts!! Driving all the way home. Steel Blue is a great pick to come out of this and this is my pick of the mixes on the CD. Finally Words is just classic and will still rock any room at a party almost 10yrs on, again a must own.
If you don't have this (or any of the other 2 Digweed GUs) really recommend you get it. The man is something else!

I took me a little while to get into this mix, but I think I've finally begun to appreciate. This mix seems very ahead of its time and Digweed is able to throw in so many different elements into this mix that it hard to get bored. Digweed does a great job of establishing the mood of the mix with some more subdued trance tracks at the begining of the mix before moving into more housier territory with excellent tracks like "Element" and "Hong Kong Trash". The first disk keeps building before ending perfectly on the mellowed out trance of "Air". The second disk does a good job of extending the mood established on the first disk but is bogged down by an unusual selection of tracks at the end of the second disc(mainly "Words" and "Keep Hope Alive") that really mess with the flow of the album. Overall, an excellent release from Digweed with some amazing mixing featured throughout. 4 out of 5.
