5.0 out of 5 stars Back On Form, 29 April 2008
By J. Harris (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Vol 1 was excellent.

Vol 2 and 3 were pretty boring with the usual plodding chirps, bleeps and rattles that is all the fashion at the moment.

Vol 4 has got back to having some energy which dare I say it would make you dance, recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Transitions 4 - The Best Yet?, 18 April 2008
John Digweed has set such a high standard with his previous releases in the Transitions series, that it was always going to be hard to beat with Transitions 4. However, I think he might just have done it.

Don't expect more of the same as Transitions 1 to 3. This one is an altogether more intricate mix, with no less than 22 tracks crammed in to its 73 minutes. And musically it is a darker journey as well. Digweed has cut down slightly on the uplifting melodies, and instead focussed on more bass-driven and percussive elements. The style still sits somewhere inbetween progressive and techno, but this time definitely leaning more towards the techno end of the scale.

Such is the level of layering of elements of different tunes that it is hard to find a single point in the mix where you can really say that you are only listening to one track. Now and then a familiar sound will drop in, such as Claude VonStroke's remix of Plasmik - Pitch It, but it is not in the form you've heard it before, being accompanied by the bassline from another track altogether. As a result you are always kept on your toes, never sure of what clever edit or mash-up Digweed is going to throw at you next.

Highlights for me would be the first few tracks, which build almost imperceptibly while subtle layers of melody are introduced. Where one track ends and another starts I couldn't tell you. This is progressive mixing in the truest sense.
And then the closing section of the CD, which features driving percussion with subtle yet sinister melodic elements and throbbing basslines driving you ever onwards, into one final epic 12 minute edit of Soliquid's `Picnic Bugz'. John has created this edit himself by fusing together elements of the Original and Gone Wild Mixes, and the amount of energy packed into those 12 minutes is just unreal.

I'll have to admit that at first listen I almost felt a little disappointed by this CD, having always been a fan of Digweed's more melodic stuff. But having given it a few listens I can tell you it is a real grower, and in my opinion it is right up there with his best, if not beyond!

5.0 out of 5 stars John does it again, 6 Oct 2007
By R. W. Pleijsant - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Renaissance: Transitions, Vol. 3 (Audio CD)
I was lucky enough to receive a signed copy of this CD through John's own web shop. I have listened to this mix a few times last week and I think it's the best in the series. Vol. 2 especially received some harsh reviews and was called boring more than once. I can just say this 'give it some time'. As the other ones before it, this mix grows on you after a few runs. Of course there are some tracks I favour more then others. However, as with most of John's other work, it's the journey through the mix as a whole that matters, not individual tracks. If you liked the first two instalments, Vol. 3 is a sure thing. Well done John!
