Amazon.com essential recording

This is the best trance mix of the first half of 1999, at least. Sasha (of Northern Exposure fame) has produced a double-disc set that climbs every house and techno peak while rolling effortlessly along top-quality, luscious trance-techno plateaus. With disc one, think mountains, air, and sweat under clear blue skies, the dreamy trance escapism of DJ Sakin and Friends' "Protect Your Mind" setting the tone. By the time Slickmick's "Lecture" delivers its pumping techno voice, the underlying subliminal metronomic beats have become wholly engaging. Disc two evokes the atmosphere of a great all-night session, and Sasha brings the mix down the hard-stepping edge of trance-techno, as with Mana's "Psionic," and into a hypnotic land of minimalism, illustrated perfectly by the flat beats of Breeder's "The Chain." Generally, the second journey recalls the subterranean feel of the great Berlin nightclubs from years ago. But just to keep things mobile, Breeder's "Twilo Thunder" is fused with the sensibilities of older Jean Michel Jarre material, offering a dreamy breather from the energy. Global Underground's San Francisco is as good a Friday night mix album as you can get. Indeed, if you match this up with a couple of Northern Exposure sets, some friends, and no limits, the hottest club in town could be your place. --Steffan Chirazi

There Has To Be Better Mixes Out There..........2006-11-10

I bought this CD already familiar with the Dance/Trance/Techno scene for years, listened to a few times and never picked it up again. I picked up this CD since it had Tilt's - I Dream (Resurection Remix) - (which is the only track that carries a captivating beat - truly awesome) thinking that the rest of the CD would be just as incredible. Unless your gonna get sloshed or shoot up on something and freak dance to strobe lights amist a booming sound system, don't waste your money on this one. Until I personally decide to do this myself, only then would I rate this a five. Sasha must have better mixes out there that I have not yet discovered, but whatever the case, this CD is a disappointment. Rather than letting this CD uselessly spin in my CD deck, I simply use it as a coaster. I know many will disagree with this review but given the fact that I gave this CD an honest shot, I not writing this as a hater. I simply have not been impressed with this one. This mix carries the same monotonous beat from start to finish. Honestly, there has to be better mixes out there by Sasha... But don't waste your ears on this one.

If you liked other CDs like: Trance Mix USA, BT - Movement In Still Life, ATB - Dj In The Mix, Crystal Method - Vegas & Community Service, any mixes by Dj Micro, Tansport by Paul Oakenfold, Dj Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise, or any Gatecrasher Mix.... This CD may not be the one for you.

ZRODN.......2006-10-26

once again to slow but fast with pitch and bpm off sound rotation. not loud enough no consistent sound or evovled framework that i normally hear from this artist at live raw performances in dance trance genre. i mean this artist is the best but needs to fire the sound or cd production team if you were to hear or see what i see in live performance you kinda wonder why cant anybody bring that brilliance to cd for home use. a lot of good musicians dont have a clue what they are selling to the public because the master copy sounds different from what is being sold and that ofcourse comes from poor planning or bad management team. Dont get me wrong this musician/dj is off the hook but once agian this cd is embarassing and sounds bad i know i can get school kids to blare faster and better beats off a turn table burn it on cd and have all these so called music critics claim that it was the best meshed euphoric sound they have heard , serve the masses nonsense but never claim to understand proper dance format

Awesome.......2006-09-10

From the intro to the last track, these cd's are amazing. CD 2 didn't do it for me like cd1 did, but overall this is how house and trance should be. Not a disappointing album in the least. Plus this is old school from 1999. I like this one better than Ibiza, but that is just preference.

One of the best mix CDs ever.......2006-08-27

I am bias towards Global underground, but they produce the best mix CDs out. Out of all 28 volumes (plus all other GU series) this is the best of them all. Every song fits perfectly into a progressive trance/house set. Starting off trippy with grovy mellow tones and by the end of the second CD thumping trance that stays clear of rythms found on most trace mixes (e.g. tiesto), rather dark samples and basslines.

This CD is just as good as Northern Exposure Expeditions and if you are a GU fan or digweed and sasha fan this this is a must have. There are no exceptions, buy it now!

If you like my advice then try these CDs out from the global underground series:
- Trafik - bullet (my fav. album)
- Steve Lawler - Lights out 3
- Nick Warren - Budapest (11) and Shang hi (28)
- Anthony Pappa - NuBreed
- Sasha - Involver (one of my fav. mixes)
- GU10 - Limited edition 4 disc velvet box

If you only listen to one of the above make sure it's trafik - bullet a great group uner the GUMusic label.

Easily the smoothest mix I have heard from Sasha.......2006-05-26

This cd is so smooth it is almost torture to listen to. Forget Ibiza. That's right you heard me. Because it should be illegal to be able to mix like this. Sweet jesus mary joseph and the F%$@*ng donkey this is good. I s*^%t you not. Check out the transistion from the Intro of the street bums to the platform to the banging naughty guitar riff of solid spaxce business that drifts into the DJ Sakin track that elevates into what for me remains one of the most awe inspiring tracks I have ever hear in my adult regardless of genre and you will understand why they call this guy the man like... This is a true glimpse at what it must feel like when Sasha is mixing in a club in SF. I mean paragliders with the two breeder tracks as bouncers? Nuff said! Buy it and frighten your neighbours
Buy it BUY IT BUY IT!!!
