- Sleeve notes:
- Wherever there is a major city there is a major club, at the heart of these clubs there is a vibe, a feeling, a pulse. All over the world this pulse is beating some strong and alive, some faint an embryonic.
- With the spread of the religion that is house music to as far afield as Tokyo, Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro it is far to say that club culture is truly global media. Every month we are reading in the likes of Mixmag, Muzik and DJ about some other city in another far flung corner of the world that has been converted into one of a growing list of clubbing capitals.
- Global Underground tracks the world's greatest DJ's capturing the spirit of the yet unpolluted dance floors around the earth from Asia to Europe and Australia to the Americas. We followed Tony de Vit to Tel Aviv and Tokyo, Nick Warren to Prague and São Paulo, Paul Oakenfold to Oslo and New York and John Digweed to Sydney.
- This disc samples some of the many flavors that we've tasted on our journeys, they are some of the delicacies of music, from the world's best dancefloors. Each of the tracks on this CD has been personally selected to form a retrospective view of our album series.
- Don't take life too seriously... the Boxed boys.
