John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

[LV-8]

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

Never heard of any of those tarcks...now that's what I call an album.

It seems like DJ albums that are released now you know 10 out of the 12 tracks released.

Ypu guys need to peep Undulation 2 by Audiofly. I know it's been out for a little while but man talkabout tracks you've never heard before!

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

Review so far of it . It is prob better than the first volume but it might be a bit early to say.

Certainly on first listen I prefer this one to the first - but i guess only time will tell, as the first Transition i listen to at least a couple of times a week and it never get boring!

One thing is for sure, Digweed is certainly at the top of his game right now - his productions and mixes are excellent.

Whilst i will no doubt listen to this promo loads, cant wait to unwrap the real thing when the order comes through - money well spent folk!!!!

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

Gave it a once over, and so I'd have to say T1 is better (thus far), but there are some great tracks on it. However, not going to make definite conclusions until I've heard a couple times more. It's more of a low-mid tempo mix compared to T1. Definitely looking forward to listening to it again tonight.

Definitely going to buy a copy though

i like the mixing. its great. only listened twice so far in my car and sounds good. a bit more uplifting this time. i loved the deep darkness sort of style of t1.

After preordering I could listen to the promo with a clear concience. Fecking great.

Can't wait to get the real thing though, I'm a materialist.

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

I downloaded the promo (I have the cd on preorder in case you're wondering ) and I'm listening to it right now, I'm about halfway through...

The first half so far has done amazing things for me. Considering I still play volume 1 so much I can honestly say this one won't be leaving the player for a looooong time.

I was going to write a proper review so far, but I just don't have the words to do this justice.

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

took me about 3 months to fully appreciate vol1, then one day it suddenly clicked! I have this on pre-order, will wait to get it, cant be doing with downloading copies anymore

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

A few ok sounding tunes but I thought it went nowhere, really kind of boring; at times it sounded it was going to take off but sank. A shame b/c after hearing the podcast minimix I thought this comp was going to be interesting; overall left me disappointed.

That said I think I liked Volume 1 better in terms of programming but thats not saying much since I thoroughly dislike this electro/minimal/tech house revolution.

i agree, this is really boring, especially as the original Transitions CD was so good.

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

both are boring for me there are a few good tunes there but the whole lacks any particular direction. No idea behind the mix. It could easily be aired on one of his shows - as a showcast of this weeks tunes, nothing special. I don't get why people spend money on cds like that - you can get it for free every week on [ms]
mix cds are an extinct species for me... waiting for involver2 though, that at least has a chance to be different

Yeah Involver 2 should be really interesting

Yeah Involver 2 should be really interesting

Which would make a change from the last one

Re: John Digweed Transitions Vol 2 Review

Upon first listen, it felt like it took a damn long time to get going...maybe 2/3s of the way in, but once it got going it was some good shit...need a few more listens to fully appreciate this one.

Hope it gets released sometime before 2010...
