Haha. Nice. Optional extras: the Vagabond 2010 mix (from Structures DVD) and the mix from Avalon in 2011 (Structures 2).

Re: John Digweed live in?

What if you heard London and Slovenia consecutively? 6hrs from build up to peak time

I would only be able to listen to the London part. Digweed has always been one of my favorite DJs in the world, but I don't like the direction he has taken his peak hour sound as of late. I'm not a big fan of techno except perhaps in tiny doses. It's fine if you want to throw in a techno track here and there to have some variation.... but when you just play one after another after another it just bores the life out of me. I need some semblance of musicality, whether it's a groovy bassline, a vocal, or some melodic elements.

Now, that being said, I understand that this set was played to an eastern european crowd and, from what I can tell over my years of experience with this music, those people just don't have the same taste in music as people do in the UK. I guess my taste is more like the people attending the Live In London set.

I hear you, his peak time can get pretty hard and tough with the techno, experienced that for myself at one of the Bedrock parties, I actually found it quite fatiguing!

You might want to check out his latest Kiss live set from the boat. Digweed and Winks' sets were proper build ups.

Re: John Digweed live in?

I think that the techno or "hard"
is not the best part of digweed.
When He play that kind of stuff
is like a ball of incomprehensible
sounds and can be tiring to
hear and dance. A simple opinion,
I like the some techno stuff but not
all the time.

Loving CD 2 up to and including the Coyu track!

I'm glad I'm not alone in this.
I was getting worried that I'm too old for this stuff anymore. haha

^ I don't think the heavy techno translates well from the club to listening at home.

Depends if you've had a few glasses of wine, I played both CDs of a night time settled down with a nice bottle of vino, great stuff

Embrace the variety, Cordoba and CDs 1 & 2 of London are attuned to home listening, the other discs for the car / gym / walk to work as there's more pace to them.

Have to say Structures 1 & 2 still sound great at home.

Re: John Digweed live in?

I think there's enough variety out there and this release completes the Digweed repertoire. If anything, I wish this was at least a 3 or 4 CD release with earlier discs leading to dancefloor demolishment.

If we ever get a full night of Bedrock that has him warm up, peak time, and end with the old school, I can hang up my dancing shoes.

Yup I can see Slovenia being good for a gym workout or a car drive.
