CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Boxed Records, which has built legions of loyal followers by marshaling the world's best-known trance DJs for their Global Underground series, now look to mine a new generation of mixologists bubbling just under the surface. This first double-CD entry in the Nu-Breed series, featuring Italian-Australian DJ Anthony Pappa, incorporates a darker, more house-oriented sound than most of the GU releases, and it admirably stays away from any obvious glow-stick-waving anthems. Even while Pappa's mix does, without a doubt, adhere to the trance code that has served others of his ilk so well, there's a progressive, genre-skipping resourcefulness that provides snap and crackle to the beats. Check out the tinny grooves and electronic funk of Moonface's "Overactive" on the second CD, which morphs beautifully into the industrial tinges of Humate's "Burning Man" off German's underground Superstition label, or the ultradeep trance of Austin Leeds's "Rhythm Reigns" as it burrows deeply under your sweat-drenched skin. Talented, nameless shadow-men lurk behind turntables in clubs all over the world. Pappa, however, after this dreamy and admirable effort, should soon find his name on everyone's lips. --Matthew Cooke Similar CDs

CD ReviewsA tale of two discs Kyle Surwilo | Tulsa, OK United States | 11/23/2002 (3 out of 5 stars) "The first disc of this set is one of the best Global Underground CDs you can buy. It's deep, dirty, techy house that is at once both infectious and brooding. Pappa blends the perfect amount of tripped out vocals with tight syncopated rythyms and deep groovy basslines. No cheesy breakdowns here. The disc would be flawless were it not for the inclusion of a very boring mix of Trancesetters ubiquitous track, "Roaches." Of all the mixes of this track, and believe me there are plenty, why he chose this one is beyond me. Other than that, however, disc one is outstanding, either for listening to or for dancing. Disc 2 on the other hand is, in my opinion, terrible. It's like trance on crack, as if trance itself weren't bad enough. It's entirely evil sounding, repetitious, and seems designed to solicit bad moods when played through. Buy this CD, if only for the first disc." 2 years on, still has the power to move and drag you in... Candyflip69 | Melbourne, AUSTRALIA | 07/19/2003 (5 out of 5 stars) "It took me at least 5 full listens to this 2CD set before I finally 'got it'. Am I slow?...maybe. As it is, two years on from the first listen, I am still hearing things daily in this brilliant mix set that amaze me.So complex in it's intentions and so profound in it's progression, this album will initially have you reeling. Much of the credit must, of course, go to the originators of the tracks actually used here but it's Pappa's blending of them into a totally seamless, flowing, liquid vibe that most impresses.There is nothing on this album that is even remotely commercial, yet almost all of it is essential. So underground that it's almost kissing Lenin, 'Nu-Breed' tracks an artist at the absolute peak of his creativity. Combining equal parts dirty sex, disturbed ramblings, unadulterated fun and razor edged humour, Pappa manages to define Progressive House with this album (and that's no easy feat!).In future years, when they look to the sound that was 2000/1, this album will be the explanation. Highly recommended." Great! rayvinazn | Okinawa, Japan | 02/23/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "One of the lighter NuBreed compilations, but definately not one to overlook, Anthony Pappa has thrown down a mean challenge to anyone that steps up to the NuBreed throne. None of the other NuBreed DJ's have yet to spin quite as uplifting a set as Anthony Pappa. Funny thing is, as light as each individual track seems to be, the overall feeling is still foreboding, like a caged animal waiting to be freed. Don't underestimate Pops, he's a force to be reckoned with."
