The best tribal/deep house mix I've ever heard...

"After buying tons of CDs trying to find one that matches this set I think I may have to give up. Although I love Disc 1, the true gem in this set is Disc 2. I have listened to this hundreds and hundreds of times and to this day I love it as much as I heard it the first time. From the beginning, Microworld's Signals is a simple, repetitive loop that lasts for 10 minutes, but for some reason it hooks you and you find your head bobbing and fingers tapping. It really sets the tone for the whole CD, whose highlights include Elegia's "Basic," Vegas Soul's "Junk Funk" and Art of Trance's "Monsoon." However, tbe single best track on this album is the unbelievable remix of Schiller's "Ruhe." A similar mix can be found on the 2nd CD of Sasha and Digweed's Communicate, but this version is the one and only. Unbelievably deep bass, great drums and dark, eerie german vocals. A true masterpiece. The only drawback to this set is the mastering, as mentioned by a previous reviewer. The volume is set way too low and turning it up only starts to distort the bass. Unfortunate, but Tenaglia's mix itself is, in my opinion, the greatest ever."
The reason why I like Tenaglia...

"I have both the Athens and London GU collections. This is by far the better one. This is also the first thing I bought by him. I am in love with the tracks "New Day" (number 3 on disc one) and "In and out of my life" (number 6 on disc one). The words in both pieces I adore.
My only slight negative would be he has a tendency for repetitiveness in background beats within the tracks, but really this doesn't bother me so much because I love the song selection. I listen to these CDs at least once a week! He deserves the 5 stars!"
