Nick Warren
Reykjavik
Global Underground
What is this you ask? Could it be yet another Global
Underground mix CD? You're correct, number 24 to be
exact and this time around feature some sort of relation
to Reykjavik but we bet ol' Nick isn't setting up shop
in Iceland anytime soon. All fun aside, this is a decent
collection of tracks that he put together with the first
disc featuring more evolving downtempo tracks that end
in a fury of breaks. The first disc seems to continue
the same direction as the recent James Lavelle disc
and keeps this series heading into new downtempo territory.
However, disc two is more of what you would expect from
GU and Nick Warren with plenty of randy club numbers
and an Underworld rip-off single by Vector. While the
second disc is interesting at times, the first disc
really makes the compilation. My only complaint is why
they don't feature some Iceland DJ's for a Reykjavik
album? I know without Warren/Sasha/Lavelle/Digweed
DJ guy on the cover, GU wouldn't be moving the kind
of units they are but I can't help thinking of the Iceland
based DJ's and producers who may be worthy of a little
love. - C. Rockwell
