I have given this release several opportunities to inspire or arouse some emotion from me. So far I have been disappointed. What a nastily boring record. Is this the new hip minimal sound or something? Maybe it is just me but I tried really hard to like this release. it just lacks inspiration.
Ironically, this type of minimal techno seems to be gaining popularity so maybe as a reviewer or music critic I am merely out of touch.
For what it is worth, I thought the edited version of acid bells on Agorias At the Controls was amazing.

Probably one of the most underrated DJ/producers I know. His mixes work really well to tell a story and the mixing and eclectic nature of his work does not mar his fastidious attention to detail and sophistication that is his sound. His instinct is well honed enough (hes been around for a while) to give any legendary waxman a run for his money. Definitely recommend his Balance 006 mix. Respect man

A surprisingly solid release. I say say surprising beacuse the change of pace from his previous crisis may cause some deviation by his fans. The melodies are so elusive they are almost painful to look out for. The elements of each song play off nicely so you feel it as an actual albuma and not and E.P It is tech, electro and experimental so Tiesto fans please be advised. NO silly cheesy female vocals on this one. I especially like mosquito. Kind of reminds me of home.

Like Jeff Bridges being one of the most underrated actors in the industry that is Hollywood, Nick Warrren is easily the most underrated DJ since... well ever actually. Ever since Reykjavik he is yet to mix a boring note and this is saying something. He gave us Holden and Adam Spears and Ulrich amongst a great many host of others and continues to dazzle us with intelligent mature, patient mixing and a very impressive palette in the avenue of track selection.
If it is hard proof that you are looking for check the GU catalogue. He quite literally, almost IS Global Underground ( a fact this humble man Bristol never highlights). With a notably different mindset from the other egomanical DJs and club promoters, he is the kind of person you silently but perpetually wish "godspeed" with every new venture he undertakes.
Personally I think he is what it means to be a DJ; a man who, first and foremost, spins the music he loves and does everything he can to bring it to the ones who love it as much as he does or at least are operating on a similar wavelength.

I am sorry but in all honesty, my personal opinion is that this is one of the worst compilations I have ever heard in my life. I mean I get and appreciate what he is trying to do and again if you will allow me to be brutally frank again, I am actually a huge fan of Zabiela. He really loves his music and quite frankly when it comes to djing that is all that really matters; how much you love the music, which eventually leads to your wanting to manipulate it (thus compliations were born). I would not mind seeing him live and I believe he is a truly talented DJ. That said, I will not compromise my opinion over this tech effects disaster. The tracks are okay but the mood and tone are horrible. It sounds like a dj who is intentionally trying to make unbearable noise not because it is what he is comfortable with, (see Holdens At the controls for jaw dropping personal experimental music) but because being different is good. In this case it is not. A disaster of truly monumental proportions. Almost, but not nearly as bad as Fundacion NYC; sasha, age of inception? occupation? testing base? I mean really you guys.... play the records and not your ego, it sounds better
