Danny Tenaglia produces a surprisingly slow and sexy romp through deep and tribal house for Thrive's fourth release in the Global Underground series. Tenaglia, a resident DJ at the Tunnel and Vinyl clubs in New York City, is accustomed to playing long sets (eight hours or more in one night) and this CD admirably demonstrates that stamina. Mixes are extended, grooves are deepened for several tracks, and Tenaglia carefully chooses his peak records at key moments. The first CD is considerably darker, the pitch control rolled way down for tracks such as "System Error" and "The Real Jazz," before Tenaglia effortlessly glides the listener with electro(!) from Miss Kitten and Anthony Rother. The second disc is a more upbeat and dubby affair, with Tenaglia dropping techno in the mix (Cari Lekabusch) next to Saint Etienne, gradually progressing into epic trance (Return of the Native). In two discs, Tenaglia demonstrates more versatility and technical prowess than many DJs do in a lifetime. --Tricia Romano

 Outstanding NYC House Brew February 27, 2008
M. Khan (USA)
I was very fortunate to be in Athens in 1998 at the time of this recording at the Kingsize. This album is faithful to the actual experience of being there, a truly hypnotic, chilling and nearly religious experience.
Consider the state of the genre at that time, anthems, remixes and the invasion of hip hop. This production stands apart from all the rest, and is very NY in character, similar I think to the atmosphere that DJ Dezmix creates, however it is also takes steps outside of any categorization into acid and tech house for a wider and global tour of the haunts that had since then been overrun by ravers (pill popping glow stick wielding backpackers). What has this scene come to?
Ah yes, this album and its trip are what its all about.
 A Worthy Purchase if Previously Missed April 28, 2007

Danny Tenaglia steps up to the Global Underground city series stage for the first time to mark the 10th commerical release with Global Underground 010: Athens.
Tenagla is world-class DJ number six featured on the mighty label and adds a new feel to the series with his tribal and dark progressive house track selections.
For the most part this compilation has aged well. Both discs are not overly "old" sounding.
I have mixed feelings about disc 1. There are some great tracks, but Moody by BPT could have been passed over. It can be found on nearly every compilation released during the two years prior to this album. However, the groove killer on this disc has to be the last two tracks, "Frank Sinatra" and "Red Light District". Two narrative tracks that are pretty bad. Disc 1 stops for me at the beginning of "Frank Sinatra" without exception!
Disc 2 is much more fluid. There are no horrible tracks...just deep dark beats throughout. No reaching for the stop or skip button on this one.
Disc 1 gets 3.5/5 stars and Disc 2 gets 4/5 stars.

Listened to every track.....two tracks I liked...the rest...well use it as ambient music to fall asleep to...that's a bad thing

I do like Tenaglia very much, and while I do enjoy listening to these discs on occassion, my mind wanders back to Global Underground London - which I think is by far his better collection. Besides, I am a Red Sox fan and it bothers me a little he has a Yankee hat on the cover (totally kidding)! :-)

how do you know when a production in the music business is awsome?
because more than 2 years from its release, people still write and talk about it.
Progressive House, House, Deep House. This CD is a MUST HAVE for every person who likes music regardless the type of music.
Global Underground 010 - Danny Tenaglia - Athens does represent what electronic music is all about. If i were to pick up a few CDs for another culture (martians) and let them know what ours is about, this would be one of the ones i would pick.
