wow.....21 yrs already! Bought it in NYC at the imports section at what used to be Virgin Megastore, Times Square. Changed my life, became a professional DJ. I owe these classic CD's and especially John Digweed a huge debt! This cd never gets old.....
perfection in mixing before digital mixers, CDJs, consoles, serato, traktor, or whatever other garbage that is used in todays DJ circuit... this is why these mixes are so tight, so elegant, beautiful, thought out, crafted by a genius that was dedicated to his craft, the groove, and not to some LCD/LED screen telling him where to drop or cut... John DIgweed, master and genius, truly todays DJ could take a lesson.
@@alexanderv8322 it's not even that (though it does have some character to it, or soul), this stuff is produced with exact drop points that make the transitions move correctly- the producers of this sound were at least half of the talent as I see it
Disc 2 one of my favorite sets of all time; especially when he drops "Words." But everything leading up to that moment... someone else here said it, close to perfection.
This CD was how I discovered and transitioned into real trance. I started out listening to cheesy uplifting pop trance. My friends (although techno heads not trance) knew that I was an absolute cheese meister who needed help / saving so they hooked me up with this CD. That weekend I went out and burnt all my shitty upfliting trance CD's and restocked with as much Paul Oakenfold, Sashsa and John Digweed mixes as I could find.
Fuck this was amazing in its day , and has aged pretty well considering it's nearly a ¼ of a century old. It was one of the few global's from number 1 to around 25 I didn't own back then. Because I didn't need to tbh, my best mate who was like a brother has it and we usually went out to the same parties or places on nights out. Sadly that day is gone as the man died aged 34 , 8 years ago . Rest easy buddy . Keep on dancing and see U again 😊 Peace ✌️
My discs are scratched to all get out. over play, lending., car abuse..disc 2 my favorite. Many a late night, last 4 tracks (if I had to single out...) most inspiring...makes me want to run again. This is how I hang onto some of the best years of my life....Dancing, free...expression...good times with no regrets. Just joy...
I used this CD set as one of those foundational pieces from which to build out my music library. Man, it's still great to hear this again. This music is timeless
I remember those days in my youth, when i was looking for good electronic music,didn't know who, or what good electronic music would sound, but i took my time in the store, like around 2 hours or so, then i came across a double cd that it looked sophisticated to me somehow i wasn't sure tho cause i didn't know nothing about this guy neither with at least 1 of the songs in it, buy he looked well dress, the cd felt heavy, it seem to me inside was something well done or at the very least this guy put a big effort, it said: "DJ sasha" and something that clear my doubts was that the cd said GLOBAL UNDERGROUND.... COULDN'T wait home to play it, To summarize i will say this, yo me is the must wonderful music i discover on my own, djs with the class and fame world wide something that i was not aware djs were doing, but as far as i found out, a few had this privileged jet-set life style like sasha j. Digweed, okenfold, nick warren, and few more but rapidly started to grow, And when i went to a concert to see Paul Okenfold in Portland Or. This i will never forget, without of doubt one of the most accelerating,wonderful and impactful moments in my life for sure...
Everything was a masterpiece for Sydney especially disc 2. For myself I felt as if the sound within each soundtrack was very Outback Australia. I always have felt this was the perfect Trance journey!
I read responses to this from years gone by... still a top mix... and one that I will always recall, just for the intro tunes.... blessed to have the JD... a top mix, even from back then.... people still wanting the tunes from it..... :)
Sasha's GU San Francisco and Ibiza are masterpieces. If you can find Kimbal Collins ICU 1st CD, it is really good stuff for this time period. You may also like Taylor's United DJs of America Los Angeles and Synesthesia. Dave Seaman's Renaissance mixes are great works as well.

Dude that is where I got my copy too, visiting from the UK
My friend bought his copy there too. This CD changed our lives.
He only discovered it because Virgin was playing it while he was browsing the store. Lucky!!
Awesome cd . Bought mine at 420 records in San Fran.
Me too !!!!!
and still listening to it and still have the two CD'S to thus day !!!!
Feel so very fortunate to have experienced this era in real-time. Incredible music. Cheers.

It's not the equipment that works here, but the soul
Ive been taking lessons from his mixes for 20 yrs now! Still learning!

u said “Dlgweed” instead of “Digweed” 😅

He is such a great DJ
Best mix ever.
weird for a girl to appreciate and have such unique taste in music, cool :)

This DJ set is as close to perfection as its possible. Combining energy, trance, hypnosis, melodies, eclectic, mixing genres. Sounds so good...
I know, I can't believe it got that many dislikes 😣
Vintage Millenium and Ylem...still as good as back in the days 🙏 The whole set is perfect 👏👏
Came to remember the good times from the late 90s 🥰

Oh my god i really really like & love this album is so fine and sofisticated for me when i was 17 that stills inspiring me each time i listen it
The GU that started it all for me. Absolutely incredible.
Bronco bowl irving texas ...line was so long at midnight still that they brought pizza to us ...sasha was there too amazing
Hell yeah... I remember I was in line trippin and looking over and seeing families still bowling.... I think.

Diggers absolutely tearin' it down, superb, an artist at the pinnacle of his craft.....a legacy selection and mix

I must have racked up at least 4,000 km of driving to CD2 alone; great driving music.
I ripped mine so long ago, before they got worn out, so glad I did!
Cd 2. 46 minutes.
It's illegal .
Amen to that
All time best ever mix ,countless hours spent have been spent listening ,thanks john
Same here kid and I'm 61, timeless mixing perfection

Nick Warren Budapest is dope as well

Obviously? Choice or track preferance is subjective. There's a lot of good in there
tickles every nerve ending just right. thank you for the the 30 plus.
Timeless and the means to buy vinyl that I didn't get first time round. Real mixing. Real heart and forever real tunes!!
39:43 That's why I love Diggers his mixing is amazing
Still my favourite mix of all time!!
❤️🦾💣 Микс на все времена! Классика!
I have tracks 4 ,6, 8, 11.12 on vinyl ..
colintraveller Fuark can I come over and we can listen over a glass of rum
Track 9 is my favorite.
I've still got all three northern exposures on vinyl
One of the all time great trance mixes - thanks for the upload, brings back lots of memories !
The whole album reminds me about 90s Arcade/PC racing game menu-music.
Agreed! Love it! Such a good album.
51:45
"The unexplained! The unexplained!"
All I can say: 🙌🏽
Year 2024
I love this set! Oldies
When Digweed plays to a harder more demanding crowd it can be so damn good….. Utrecth is one that co
Es to mind and ofc this old mix from waaay back.
Still hits a punch, amazing energy after all the years. Tight but wild mix full of devil
Everything was a masterpiece for Sydney especially disc 2. For myself I felt as if the sound within each soundtrack was very Outback Australia. I always have felt this was the perfect Trance journey!
I read responses to this from years gone by... still a top mix... and one that I will always recall, just for the intro tunes.... blessed to have the JD... a top mix, even from back then.... people still wanting the tunes from it..... :)
the digger in his prime .... :)
i fookin love it !!
I heard this in a random shop for bizarre things (statues of things etc and the lady had sticks burning)....instant whip into HMW (at the time)
faultless mixing and intoxicating
pura perfección musical, gracias por el aporte brother!!!!
One of the best ever !!!!
So Good!
this is so fire
the first GU I ever heard when it was released...and the first time when I heard Digweed alone mixing.... :) what do you think?
Propaganda... Omfg what a demon track 😎🥶
I wish I could see a Dj Mix from Digweed with Paul Van Dyk on it or vice versa recently mixed.
THE ENERGY!!!! YES!!!!
34:00 -->
Irving tx bronco bowl sasha & digweed
Hell yeah. What year was that?
Exactly what Gramecc said ! ;-)
I always thought this cover looked like a giant smiley face.
Keep hope alive
there is hope
Nothing is worse than shitty techno, of which this CD set is not
Suggestions please for similarly good, driving trance ?
Northern Exposure 1 obviously, but would love to find some more of this quality !
+Dan Hare Nick Warren had a couple essential mixes i thought were on par with this circa 2000.
Sasha's GU San Francisco and Ibiza are masterpieces. If you can find Kimbal Collins ICU 1st CD, it is really good stuff for this time period. You may also like Taylor's United DJs of America Los Angeles and Synesthesia. Dave Seaman's Renaissance mixes are great works as well.
D-fuse has a couple of mixes on here also jimmy van m
Dan Hare ---- This is everybody on tour! Is also a great driving one
Nigel Dawson has an excellent mix here : ua-cam.com/video/t84t0hFBXgs/v-deo.html
