John Digweed - Transitions Vol. 3
Jun 19, 2009
First time hearing this. I know its a bit late in the century but I thought i'd comment for the laugh. Danny is not typically known for his mixing skills and this really shows here. A simple shake of the wrist with the cross fader and were into the next track, sublime stuff indeed!! in comparison to journeys with john digweed their really is no competition, john was an amazing mixer and track selector from the very beginnings, although most including Oakey had to have at least 6 cheesy vocal house at the start of their sets for some strange reason ill never know then move onto a more trancier sound towards the end. It seemed like everyone followed this routine of doing things. Ok back to this train wreck of an album. The songs on here make me feel ill. From the first 11 tracks the only one worth remembering is Eskimos & Egypt - uk-usa as they’ve done some fine music in their time. Then after the rest of the trash we get hardfloor - acperience 1, which sticks out like a sore thumb in the mix of things. And when I mean mix please listen to the transitions on here they’re hilarious!! People say it wasn’t about the mixing back in the day (which I understand) and it was only about the music. well sorry Danny u got both wrong. You loose!!
BT - Emotional Technology
Nov 30, 2008
The first time I actually seen BT's photo. I never knew his hair was em so uhhmm ye, having said that this album is em so uhhmm ye really bad. seems everyone made crap like this in 2000-2004 alah Oakenfold. Only track I actually would even dare save from this mess would be The Force Of Gravity (Dylan Rhymes Push Up Mix) and its pretty mediocre at best. BT PLEASE never ever make this rubbish again and please don’t dye your hair like that it doesn’t suit you, like this music doesn’t suit you.
Orbital - Orbital 2 (Brown Album)
Nov 22, 2008
I’ve never wrote a review before and probably will never again but heres an album you can turn on and let it play throughout without having to to skip and wish a certain track would hurry the fuck up and finish, which by any dance albums standards is an amazing feet in itself. The Brown ALBUM is a truly remarkable LP that can change the mood of a cosy evening in beside the fire or a club packed with 1,500 people to a stadium of twenty thousand people. I truly wish that music like this was still made today and that more people would recognise the importance and significance of this release and try to emulate it with today’s technology. I seen orbital many times in huge arenas and enjoyed their performances albeit out of my face on drugs and never really remembered what they played. It wasn’t until later life I bought and downloaded a few albums did I really appreciate and respect their music that bit more. Orbital I salute you for being one of the best dance acts EVER.

I know this is a single cd and time is limited but I feel a lot of time could have been sacrificed for the greater good. I also know this is nothing like john spins normally and is purely experimental but I also know if he could get away with it you would play it regularly and I feel that would be his demise (sorry john) Looking forward to transitions 4 and hoping it will be a vast improvement.
