An artist presentation for Nick Warren would take probably double the space of this article, so it's useless to start speaking of everything this DJ meant to house music throughout the years. Being a true partner to the Global Underground foundation right from the start, he mixing the 30th edition of the GU: City series doesn't come quite as a surprise. Haven't heard a mix for quite some time now, I didn't really knew what to expect from this album. Did Nick Warren stay true to his unique progressive style? DHad he evolved on the electro-tech note that's so popular nowadays? I popped the discs in and waited to see.
If anyone remembers the GU024 mixed in Reykjavik, then the first disc won't come as something strange, hearing a down-tempo mix in a GU series. It starts moody and atmospheric with SPACE GYPSIES – "AFTER, a Balearic-like song which gets the vibe right in and sets the layer for what's next to come. Nice piece for a lounge-like chill out mood. It continues nicely with TRIPSWITCH - STRANGE PARALLELS, a really eased-up song that could very easily rock you to sleep. Beat comes back with AUDIOGLIDER - ZUSAMMENALLIEN, a very melodic and dreamy piece of work, which is so nostalgic and sweet it almost makes you want to cry. Very nice job here by selecting this one. NOVE – SEDATIVES follows up with a breaky rhythm and infused sounds, uplifting a bit the mix, but showing nothing new really, it's just a pass-by tune in my opinion. However, it does the job, being a true down-tempo melody, which falls right into place on this CD. The set marches on with AUDIOGLIDER – WHISKERS, a guitar ibiza-ean track, which also features vocals. It sounds pretty good and keeps the note of the first songs. The mixing for the track to follow is horrific and does no honor for Mr. Warren, as we pass to JOEY FEHRENBACH- BEING AROUND YOU, a nice tune that kind of remembers me of Chicane 7, 8 years ago. It's all beach style with JUSTIN ROBERTSON - REVTONE (ULRICH REMIX), and that's not bad at all, but it's kind of monotonous and quite out of place. TRIPSWITCH - ROLL YOUR OWN sounds like music from a movie, but again us find vocals, and that saves a bit of this mix-CD; also atmospheric samples here and a lot of them. You might find this interesting. Moving on, CATES AND DPL - LIVING IN A brings that sooooo out-of-fashion guitar, and it gets me thinking that chill out music isn't quite as it used to be, it's all come down to very boring tracks, and the same old clichés; not very nice in my opinion. AURTURUS- LONELY PLANET contradicts me though. Very cool song, sounds even a bit dancy, probably preparing us for the second disc of GU030. So does the last tune, JOEY FEHRENBACH- BEHOLD, which is again a great piece of work. These last two tunes really save a lot of the already shattered appearance of this mix-cd.
Tracklist:

CD 1:
01 - SPACE GYPSIES – "AFTER
02 - TRIPSWITCH - STRANGE PARALLELS
03 - AUDIOGLIDER ZUSAMMENALLIEN
04 - NOVE SEADTIVES
05 - AUDIOGLIDER - WHISKERS
06 - JOEY FEHRENBACH- BEING AROUND YOU
07 - JUSTIN ROBERTSON - REVTONE (ULRICH REMIX)
08 - TRIPSWITCH - ROLL YOUR OWN
09 - CATES AND DPL - LIVING IN A
10 - AURTURUS- LONELY PLANET
11 - JOEY FEHRENBACH- BEHOLD

CD 2:
01 - AUGUST - I MISS
02 - BLUE FOUNTAIN - SWEEP
03 - ZUR-FACE - COSMOPOLITAN DRINK
04 - ESSENVEE - HEAD DOWN (JAY P)
05 - POLE FOLDER - B SIDE
06 - 16BL - NEPTUNE
07 - 16BL - NONE VERBAL
08 - HABERSHAM AND KAZELL - PARADISE ROCKERS
09 - MOLDAN & ISMAE - FIVEFIVEZERO
10 - MILKA KUISMA - ONE MORNING BY THE RIVERSIDE
11 - OHMNA - I'M LOST
12 - EELKE KLEIJN - 8 BIT ERA DUB
13 - TANNEN - BLACKOUT

So far, not so good. But it's time for the "club" disc, the second one. Starts kind of minimalist and gets right away to business with AUGUST - I MISS, an eased-up song with a hidden beat deep down there, on which minimal samples are layered one after another. It continues the note from the first CD mostly. BLUE FOUNTAIN - SWEEP is the second piece, a dreamy one, with vocals all around, but sounds like a very common deep house tune, bringing nothing special to the mix. ZUR-FACE - COSMOPOLITAN DRINK lets the pressure rise and gives rhythm and sense to this poor start. Let the dance tunes begin already! It sounds pretty well, but this is clearly NOT the Nick Warren sound i grew up to. Anyway this is better than the first two tracks, it has spine, and most of all, beat! As expected, the all mighty minimal-electro could have not be missed here, and it comes strong in the form of ESSENVEE - HEAD DOWN (JAY P), a robotic-like song which will surely get on your nerves. It's not even a cool song, and this increases the bitter taste i have in my mouth form this album so far. POLE FOLDER - B SIDE saves a bit for this second installment, a true progressive tune indeed, vocals included. It's nice, really nice; keeps on growing, keeps on bringing beat after beat. Two of my favorite producers, 16BL step in with NEPTUNE, a veeeeery nice piece of music. This is what i wanted to hear, but although it's pretty late for this album, it still makes me want to dance. Driving, sweet, proggy to the core, this production could very easily be my favorite of the mix. A second tune from them, 16BL - NONE VERBAL follows up. Talked vocals are not out of fashion and these ones fall right into place. NICE NICE NICE! You'll have fun on this. HABERSHAM AND KAZELL - PARADISE ROCKERS soon come in with a break beat sound, the one we're already used to, but this is houseier than before. a bit of dub, a bit of everything in there, it's diverse and special, very good tune indeed. MOLDAN & ISMAE - FIVEFIVEZERO and the surprises keep on coming. This one is my choice for the favorite tune, it's a splendid progressive beat that keeps on rolling and coming at you with no mercy. Perfect feature in the album, too bad it stinks overall; this is a very under-estimated song unfortunately. You'll love it from the very start, for its definite sound and courageous synths. MIIKA KUISMA - ONE MORNING BY THE RIVERSIDE unfortunately breaks it, and it breaks it definitive. Really bad choice of putting this song here... OHMNA - I'M LOST tries to save a bit of what's left of this disc and it does with a prog trance sound that should have come in way back... EELKE KLEIJN - 8 BIT ERA DUB is another nice track, but again, too late for them. Mr Warren should have thought well when he arranged the tunes for this second CD. TANNEN - BLACKOUT ends the album in a respectable manner, leaving room for hope of something much better than this.

GU030, I'm sorry to say, it's a disappointment, really. First of all, this is NOT the Paris sound anyone would have had in mind, second of all the mixing is common and poor, tracks on the first disc are so simple and ordinary that you don't even know when they pass along, tracks on the second one are (with few exceptions), well, uninspired.

It is with great regret that I state "Warren era is long gone, and he should have stopped after GU028 in my opinion". In hope that Adam Freeland will bring something new to the GU series with his installment in New Mexico, I strongly recommend this album only to the Nick Warren fans.

So...that means.....penting ato ga penting utk dibeli terserah anda... ;) ;)
