That is EXACTLY what you need to do. I didn't really dig T1 at first, actually I thought it was dull and left it to collect dust for about 4 months.

I decided to grab it again and give it another chance, and now it's one of my favorite compilations ever. As a matter of fact, I've been playing it on my car for the last month or so.

Now, I've really been looking forward to this new Transitions since I saw the thread here on TA. Hopefully his edits will make this compilation, one epic journey.

Didn't someone bring up the idea of Coe and May? Wouldn't be farfetched at all.

Yeah just read that in the Bonaroo tracklist thread

The track is called Coma 1 for sure...on Digweeds site...but either the artist is Sasha or C.O.M.A which is probably an alias name.

BTW..a mini mix of Digweeds Transitions Vol 3 on his myspace page..as a podcast...cheers!

Cheers...thought maybe some of you LA freaks would like to know!

The only downside to that is...

"The track will be set to exclusive, never-before seen video footage of John's appearance at The Mayan in Los Angeles."

Yeah, there's footage, but the audio will just be the twenty-five minute track.

They could be mutually exclusive. It says 'as well as'

How did you get your copy...is it a promo?...i've only listened to the mini mix...but it only features tracks..not the mixes.....BTW..how's that first track...that COMA track by Sasha?

Posted by Tenshi on Aug-21-2007 10:01:

we at progressive world got it as a promo - yes!

the first track is only used as a little intro! would love if the full track as in the sasha essential mix would be on there!

the mixes are all ace! i really liked vol.1 & 2 but 3 is definately the best yet!

my fav. tracks are Marc Marzenit - Spheere, Adam Freeland - Silverlake Pills (Gui Boratto Remix) and the Guy J Tune!

Also liked the fact that there are 20 tracks included! some tunes are quite short now but the whole thing is more exciting and it really takes you on a journey!

all digweed fans should buy this when it comes out!

Remarkable how many of those tracks are available on Beatport 1 month in advance of the album's release. All but 3 or 4. Interesting how the transparency of the internet transcends through everything it touches.

I'm loving Adam Freeland - Silverlake Pills (Gui Boratto remix). Heard it on Sasha's Essential Mix, fucking ace track. Can't wait to hear the full compilation.

Posted by Lomeli on Sep-05-2007 20:00:

Can't wait for the release.

Just listened this gem once, and I'm half way through the second time. This CD is absolutely wonderful. You'll find the groove at the very first track, and just vibe to it all the way through. As always, the mixing is flawless, both beat match wise and harmonically. Everything. Just. Works.

Starts off with highly anticaped "Monday" with an intro edit done for the mix, what better way to start than with this haunting tune. Originally, I wanted this to be longer, but it works the length it is.

Then its works its way into 'Spheere' and you already start hearing Along the Wire. Then it goes into "There" with its wobbly yet haunting baseline which carries you into Along the Wire and disappears rather quickly.

"Maferefumeco" is where I started getting goosebumps, its just a superb tune and it works so well with its neighbors. At this point, the energy level starts rising, and you sit comfortably in a pool of fucking awesomeness. After "Advance Panorama" drops you to the ground,
"Chest in the Attic" comes in and you start to regain consciousness.

Following that, "Begun the end has" takes center stage. This track has been fucked over so many times because it was used when it shouldn't have been, but here, its smack dab in the middle, opening the gates for "Messene" which starts to put the peak time feeling into the air with the help of "Hedonism".

This guy we're hearing so much about, Chaim, shows us what he's got in the next two tracks, teamed up with another one of John's Cheeky Edit on "Genesis" which gives it little more life. For the next 15 minutes, make sure you are on some type of drug. Seriously.

"Giddy Down" breaks in and if your head isn't nodding at this point, you're doing it wrong. I don't need to explain the remainder tunes. They will be exactly what you've expected them to be. Monster tunes that play nice with each other and leave with a standing ovation.
Once again, the CD is everything and more than what it's hyped up to be. The energy is there, and it will grab you by the balls.

The rapeage done with 'Along the Wire (Superpitcher Remix)' is very noticeable and it is used perfectly, reminding you how versatile that track is, despite how long its been around.

My original intention was right, this has been the best Transitions compilation, although some part of me wants it to stop on this extremely high note.

Best CD of 2007 hands down. I recommend EVERYONE to get a copy, this is a keeper.

The first tune on the above Youtube vid (second track gets mixed in the last min) is the new John Digweed and Nick Muir tune called Gridlock. Its featured in the form of a 25 minute extended mix as a bonus CD-Rom + video footage.

The Stereo Club Mix I believe he's playing in the vid (a lot shorter) will be released as a single in early Oct/late Nov.

Cheers!

It's actually John Digweed - Gridlock. They just did the mix of it together. There's 3 different versions in total.

He played this out here too!! Amazing track.

I finally got around to listening to the mini mix as it was featured on his Transitions podcast. I never bothered before because I just wanted to wait for the CD but the suspense was killing me. This cd is gonna rock
