Editorial Review: Album Description: Legendary DJ/Producer John Digweed returns with his third installment in the popular DJ album mix series, Transitions. Showcasing everything that John Digweed is known for; upfront tracks, seamless mixing and choice selections of the newest hard to find remixes, tracks and edits, Transitions 3 follows the lofty standards set by the previous two installments. With its name taken from Digweed's internationally syndicated radio show, Transitions 3 features tracks and remixes from Sasha, Adam Freeland, Josh Wink, Gui Boratto, Superpitcher and more, all specially edited and re-shaped by Digweed for the mix. Includes a bonus disc featuring Digweed and Muir's extended 25 minute mix of "Gridlock" and exclusive video footage of Digweed's recent Mayan gig in Los Angeles. Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - A strong mix that rewards greatly if you approach it with audiophile curiosityWhile some long-time DJs are now releasing mix CDs years apart, John Digweed continues to fulfill his promise of a "Transitions" disc twice a year or so. With TRANSITIONS VOL. 3, however, he even gives us two CDs. The Transitions mix is still a single disc, but the bonus CD has a 25-minute extended remix of a Bedrock track. Those who follow Digweed's Kiss 100 radio programme will know generally what to expect here. While the first installment of the Transitions series disappointed me with banal track selection and little development, Digweed has clearly returned to form. Much of the hype surrounding the release of the mix was due to its inclusion of Sasha's "Coma" as its opening track. While "Coma" is an okay tune, it's no "Xpander" ...

It's a must for your cd collection. Rating: - Oh...What Could Have BeenI'm always skeptical when an album features a high volume of tracks such as the third volume of John Digweed's Transitions. Call it personal preference or taste, but I find commericial albums that feature a smaller number of longer tracks better than vice versa. Of course it ultimately is about the tracks themselves. This is definitely a minimal techno album, but it is much thicker and complex than the majority of dreary pure minimalist albums out there. It is also much more electro heavy than most. No progressive sounds to be heard here so if that is what your looking for in Transitions volume 3, I'd advise you to save your money. During my first listen of this album, I quickly forgot about my love for epic sets and ... Read More: Rating: - More godlike trance meets houseJohn Digweed's transitions series may be one of the best dance series of all time. Labelled as house it is still some of the best trance out there. Second up, this is a way yonder cosmically sized better than Transitions Vol. 2, and that's a hard act to beat. This is one of the best progressive house albums of all time. Digweed has found a niche in his talents and is expanding it beyond all expectations. After Fabric 20, Digweed went into experimental phase with Vol 1, discovered something good, delivered on the epic Vol. 2 before breaking barriers with Vol. 3. Transitions Vol. 3 isn't just a great CD follow-up to Vol. 2, he has reinvented a whole new sound for house music and may be Digweed's best album to date if not one of the best ... Read More: Rating: - Back in the abyss - Excellent!Whether you consider this release minimal or the darker side of progressive house, it sure reminds me of circa 2001 Digweed when he was pumping out massive dark tunes (i.e., his short-lived "Black" sublabel under Bedrock). If you're a long-time Digweed fan and have been to his shows, just think back to the time you were sitting in a dark corner somewhere, near the loudspeakers, had your eyes closed, looking down, bobbing your head, and just soaking in all the abyssimal tunes with all your body (and no, you did not have to be high!). Give this album an honest listen and you'll be in a similar place. If you prefer the energy of a liveset, well, you can go download his livesets or you can get a plug-in to popular players like Winamp to increase the tempo. ... Read More: |
