After a couple of average albums, Carl Cox has come up with Global, a mix that finally steps out of the long shadow cast by 1997's influential F.A.C.T. release. The British techno god has always enjoyed giving eardrums and cardiovascular systems the world over a good workout, and Global is no exception, as Cox weaves trance-drenched source material over his deliciously sadistic, hard techno beat. Simple and classic when it needs to be (Bryan Zentz's "Watch the Sun"), shamelessly minimalist when it wants to be (Ant's "Magnetic Field"), and assaultive when necessary (Cox and Christian Smith's "Dirty Bass"), Global is an adrenalized reminder that when he's on form, few produce quality, ready-made house party records like Carl Cox. --Steffan Chirazi

 not bad at all November 21, 2005

I heard cox at crobar recently and ran out to buy his cd. This cd is not the style i heard at the club, different style all together! However i cant rate it bad because the music is good and the quality is perfect, NO live crowd sounds (which i was worried about)
if you heard him live and are seeking that sound, this isnt it.

Good, But Not a Masterpiece (worth purchasing) June 2, 2004

This disk is one of Cox's Best. Disclaimer to none tech and house lovers: that is what this album is, so if you don't dig it, forget it. For the rest of us, I would say there is nothing bad about this mix, however it is lacking in characteristic vinyl selection for the first several tracks, but the album does redeem itself late in the mix with awesome tracks like "Simulation." Due to the CD's late track comeback, and the fact that this is the best Cox I have heard on CD, which has not been marred by crowd noise, I'll give it 5 stars, and save the slander. The mix has grown on me after some time, and I do find myself returning to the up-beat energy offered by its' beats. This disk is good, but Not a masterpiece. Yet, still a good buy, check it out. It is worth it.

This mix is very heavy in the tech. lots of ringing cymbols and the dirty bass that Cox is famous for from his THREE turntables. This Disc is his best release by far. it is void of the ugly repetetive tracks that seem to devalue his other stuff. Global is a little more musical. A good mix starts with good track selection. this set definately has that. i am NOT a fan of F.A.C.T,Phuture,Live vol.1, or ultimateB.A.S.E...but i do like where Cox is going Now! Get Global. The best Tech-House CD in 03.

If you're like me, you *know* Carl Cox is an outstanding DJ. However, you've also been disappointed by many of his "studio" albums. In general, I've found certain tracks and certain mixes off of his earlier stuff that I've really liked, but overall I've just figured that Cox is one of those DJs who really need a packed dance floor to do their best work.
Well, I guess it was just a matter of time. This disc is a really great mix. In my opinion, this is somewhat of a new (maybe, "different") direction for CC. The sound has a housier feel to it than any of his other work that I have, and the tempo matches that feel as well. I'm big into house, so this suits me just fine ~ though I do miss the harder, acid-dipped sound that I'm used to from some of CC's other stuff that I have (F.A.C.T. 2, for example). I don't think I'd agree that this disc has a "dirty" feel to it, though it is pretty deep. Anyway, keeps my head nodding non-stop. If you've shyed away from buying new works by this man due to disappointment in the past, I'd suggest giving him another chance. My guess is you'll like what you hear.
