Sublime Brilliance - By: S. Templar, 04 Sep 2008 
This is an absolutely cracking album. Danny has crafted together a Gem of a mix - the constant quality of the tracks is mindblowing. Love it !
Perfect. Minimal, house, subtle, funky YES! - By: J. M. CAULFIELD, 13 Aug 2008 I can't believe how good this is.
I don't usually write reviews but this deserves it!
Music is evolving so rapidly it is losing it's edge on one perspective but on the other it is developing into deeper depths.
This compilation captures DT's angle on this with his mixing skills & his access to exclusive music.
It takes a minimal approach which is very appropriate for today's music scene. You can hear DT's style throughout (almost GU-esque) but on a very subtle level.
Anyone who likes or liked DT, progressive or house music looking to get a feel for what it has evolved into & otherwise anyone now today into minimal stuff, this is essential. After a few listens it is seriously addictive.
As far as a compilation is concerned, this is the firstin a long time that has had such an effect where others have been disappointing!
Dom & Roland (DnB) recent podcast noted that music today has lost its ability & allowance to take time, space & develop naturally, it is disappointing that often there is no room for creating the atmosphere that we once hadin this field of sound.. what we grew to adore.. certainly what has created me!
This is amazing! Essential to any electronic music fan really! Trust me!
N.B. Patience required!
Danny Tenaglia On Fire! - By: S. A. Hutchinson, 07 Aug 2008 I've been waiting for a new mix from Danny for ages, & this for me is better than the Global Underground CD's he did a few years ago that are also superb. This is a Mix CD to listen to over & over again & yes it does take some repeated listening to aclimatise to his 'new sound' but it is as soulful as ever, just a different manifestation of the totally unique sound that Danny Tenaglia has been creating for many years. The sound quality is also fantastic, & for me this is the closest you will get to experiencing him live. This CD demands repeated listening before making a judgement - I had it on full blast on my bycle yesterday & got home 10 minutes faster than normal due to the drive & power the music has! some of the tracks reminded me of putting a microphonein your stomach whilst you had really bad cramps! THIS IS TWISTED TENAGLIA AT HIS BEST! Sleevenotes are touching as its been a tough old year for him personally (this mix is dedicated to his Mother & Aunt who sadly passed (his Aunt was responsible for turning him on to much diverse music as a childin the 60/70's growing upin Brooklyn) this is something special. BUY IT!
Don't get too excited! - By: BlaBla1978, 06 Aug 2008 
I've been looking forwards to a new mix from DT for ages & had to buy it as soon as it came out, hoping that it would be a lot better than the disappointing backtobasics & perhaps even recreate the magic of his Global underground mixes.
Unfortunately this isn't for me. As the title suggests this is a dark & minimal "futuristic?" sound that isn't to my taste. If, like me, you prefer his more old school stuff, with the twisted vocals & drums (you know what I mean...), don't get too excited by this release. This is as far away from his "house" mixes as you can get - this isn't "joyful" of "soulful"in the slightest.
Even though I do enjoy the darker mixes ala Dave Clarke, this one doesn't have the frenetic energy that I look forin those types of mixes.
Maybe I just don't get it yet. I am going to give it a few more listensin case it grows on me but at the moment I'm only prepared to give it three stars asin fairness, there are a couple of instant "wow" momentsin there that save it.
