A wonderful double CD I can only find on YouTube
If you can find this on Spot or Qobuz please send me links for so I can insert them
CD 1
CD 2
Circuitous route for me to get to this album. Not an obvious choice for me or most who will discover it here I'm sure
You may know James Lavelle from UNKLE
He remixes tracks so there is often little left of the original, adding to the whole, homage not rip off
The artists he has picked are from all over the place as well as a lot of tracks from his own UNKLE catalogue
Nice review from Allmusic sums this album up well
After 3 more (Bangkok, Barcelona) or less (Romania) successful GU appearances, Mr. Lavelle finally completed his vision of electronic music. The current mix is very inspired, moody, interesting, indie inspired somewhere in the left field between hedonism and art, Sound and Vision, Madness and Genius. The strongest output of James Lavelle/UNKLE Sounds since "Do androids dreams of electronic beats". The only little negative part about this mix is, if you listened to his releases on Soundcloud etc. during the last years you will know many of the songs.
However, the mixing, the order of songs and the new reconstructions are close to perfection. There is nothing even close to this mix on the GU series. The best effort of GU since Danny Howell's "Miami". A mix for eternity.
I like it the more I play it and the kitchen playlist as had it stuck in there for many months.
Caused me to stop on many occasions
Give it a go and let it grow.

2 for me I'm afraid, Mike. Oddly perhaps, I'd probably have scored it higher if there had been less of it. There is simply too much of it to consider it anything but background music as far as I'm concerned; I could never sit down for a session with it. In the spirit of total honesty, I only played the first part. I had no inclination whatsoever to listen to any more of it, especially not another hour-and-a-quarter's worth. Believe it or not, I did enjoy some of it, but it was a bit like overdosing on a particular food you quite like.

This is gorgeous and certainly up one of my avenues. Difficult to find things in this setting but just randomly sliding over to 38:50 of CD2 reveals something very nice.
Will need time with this but I'm on board.

I've not been able to lock into this at all, not helped by not being on streaming.
2/5: Not offensive.

Lana del Ray starts off CD2 ! Hah - I didn't get that far. Of course, I know that song well. It's Ride from Born to Die - Paradise Edition open.qobuz.com/track/92622513I would have recognised Hey Now if I'd got that far. What is its purpose? It's just a mishmash of odd version of other material? |

Thanks very much
How did you search to find it ?
20 minutes shorter
From my double CD this is missing tracks 2-5, 7-9, 11, 12, 14 on CD1
CD2, tracks 1-4, 6 and various others, but that comes to more than 20 minutes I'm sure

How did you search to find it ? just typed Global Underground 41 in the Spotify search box . I've got four UNKLE albums but not heard this , struggling for gear at the moment as we are moving so can't give it a quality listen . |

Meant to say It works well with a theme, maybe style running through the whole selection Tracks I really like I looked up to find they were barely like these versions |

(Trust no one !) I'm an UNKLE fan which is what led me to Lavelle |

Had a listen on Spotify yesterday and was rather taken with it, but then I have been listening to more electronic music recently so that probably helped. I will definitely be listening again. UNKLE seen to have worked with quite a number of well known artists. 4/5 from me.

Lavelle is the main man in UNKLE so he was working on a lot of his own music.

I have to say that in every case where I know the song (there are several), I prefer the original.
