John Digweed - Transitions Vol 3
Is Finished
Sept 24, 2007 Release
More Details To Follow
"Transitions Vol.3 finds John delivering a peak-time reflection of his current sound, �Musically speaking, I�ve been shifting through the gears over the series,� he says. �And we�re now approaching top speed. This mix still represents an immediate snapshot of my favourite tunes and producers, but it�s also about that specific energy you get at 3 or 4am at the best clubs or festivals around the world.�
To capture and realise this, John worked a whopping 20 tracks into the album. �Running the tracklist up so high was a conscious decision,� he elaborates, �It allowed me to generate that energy and atmosphere, which I further reinforced by creating exclusive edits.� Infact every track on T3 has been given the magic touch and then, quite literally, continuously layered into the mix; in the overall running time, the passages where there isn�t a mix running are actually shorter than those where they are! It�s an intense ride, which in true Digweed fashion builds over its 78-minute excursion�
The mix kicks off with a track that personifies its special nature, the elusively titled COMA � coma 1. Moving on, further notable highlights from the broad musical spectrum include the innovative use of Lawrence�s �Along The Wire�, broken down and part-used throughout its neighbours, Sweet N Candy and Einzelkind; the Dusty Kid / Aldo Kadiz mash-up; �Begun The End Has� from Harthouse regular Joel Mull; the incredible Josh Wink remix of Someone Else and Gui Boratto�s emotive interpretation of Adam Freeland�s latest.
Finally, the finished versions of T3 will also feature a second disc containing a brand new, 25-minute track from the minds of John and Nick Muir, � We started on it earlier in the year�, says Digweed, �And it quite literally grew (and grew!) from there. It reached a point where it seemed better suited to an album, so hit upon the idea of marrying it with T3 as a way of giving something back to our fans.�
There�s little question Transitions Vol.3 is John Digweed at his relentlessly, innovative best."

I say it's about time he got himself a series. No more of these randomly titled DJ mixes.
Get the fuck in. Can't wait to hear this.

Will probably be pretty solid - but I really don't see the need for another series like this.
Just too many mediocre compilations out there at this point, period.
There's always room for more mediocre compilations! 
...at least the first two weren't among them.

The first was above-above average; didn't really have sticking power in my player's rotation.
Second one was ace though!

I thought both were good. I like the flow of Transitions 2 better, I thought the 1st one had great tracks but a bizarre order.
I like the idea...its not meant to be really amazing, just a collection of Digweed's favs mixed in his own style.
one was chock full of choons, i bought some singles from it
two wasn't as exciting imo but was more of a cohesive mix, still good and worth a listen
Good news! No. 2 was a fantastic journey.
Hope this is somewhat better than the first two. To be honest the 'TRansitions' series haven't really got on to me, maybe gotta give them a few more listens.
Liked Vol 2. Looking forward to this one. Heh, Sander K's new album, Lee Burridge's Balance and this.. a few good CDs on the horizon. 
The first one was pretty good, I'd give it a 8/10...some really massive tracks...thought a wierd up and down flow/direction...after a slightly bangin intro..you get minimal half way in.
Vol 2 had a better direction/flow thought it was a bit of bore....track were linear...but the mixing was flawless...but the CD felt incomplete when you finished listening to it...felt like the first hour cut out of a 6 hour Digweed set. Overall track selection should have been better...6.5/10
Hope Vol 3 is better...BTW...seeing him on Sept. 5..should be a nice show.
looking forward to this
Very nice! This should be great!
SWEET!!!
Can't wait 2 see some more infos, tracklist or samples. Defo it's gonna be something worth buying!
