Deep Dish - Global Underground 21 - Moscow

music to listen to as well as dance

I am up to my third copy of this c.d and am wishing I could find a flawless disc in amongst the 6.
The music is superb but the Singaporean pressing are appalling. March 10, 2008

techouse...a raver for life..."a buzzlife/capitol intensive clubbing" fan

Sasha's San Fransisco and Deep Dish's Moscow...nothing else compares (Tenaglia's Athens may come close)....these guys are Steely Dan or Wishbone Ash of electronica!!! I love Sander and Desyn...f'ing sexy jamming house...but it is San Fransisco and Moscow that I throw in when I am the most f'ed up!!! San Fransisco captures the ecstasy spirit like no other, and Moscow--I haven't heard another CD as groove heavy as this...I am, and have been, speechless for all these years!!! February 21, 2008

A Must Have Global Underground Album

I still think 2001 was one of the greatest years for the world of elecronica and Global Underground 21: Moscow is yet another fantastic album to back up my claim. Deep Dish premiers for GU with one of the series most "live sounding" albums.

Disc 1 launches off with 4 exceptional tracks in a row, but the remixes of Dido's "Thank You" and Ilo's "Rapture" (desptie their remix being vastly superior to the original track) could have been skipped over or substituted to improve the set overall.

Disc 2 is a brillant set that includes two distinct drops in tempo (after tracks 7 and 12) revealing its true purpose. A set specifically designed for the later half of great clubbing night out with those two purposeful tempo changes strategically placed, allowing the occupants on the dance floor to soak it all in. Generally I've never been a fan of dub's and remixes but these guys are so good at improving on original tracks. Fatboy Slim's "Bird of Prey" is a pretty average track in my opinion but I love the Dish's remix. This set would have been a great one to dance the night away to.

Disc 1 gets 4/5 stars, and disc 2, 4.5/5 stars. December 15, 2007

Solid up to a point

I agree with most of the reviews already on here. Both discs have stellar track selection, but there are some that seemingly don't belong, etc.
Having said that, I still listen to both of these CDs pretty dam often. Specifically disc one, the mix from I Can See the Lights through Hot is great, because the tracks go together so well.
Disc two is kind of like two mixes in one. It goes from track one up to I feel stereo, the track runs out, and then Bird of Prey starts at its beginning and the mix takes an entirely new direction (that's not to say this isn't good - Manilla Sunrise is a great track).

Also I'd like to note that I just got two 10" subs in my car, and Moscow sounds great out of them.

In summary, this album is well worth the money - I've got most of the global underground albums and this one has a place with me. April 13, 2007

Its good but that about it

The only reason I got this CD was because it was recorded in Moscow, my home town. The double Cd has a few tracks that I enjoyed but for the most part it was a very blah CD for me. I have seen Deep Dish live and enjoyed their music, but this Cd just didn't do it for me. January 4, 2007
