Now that Transitions has been out for quite some time, hopefully most of you have gotten around to hearing it. In my opinion, I prefer Fabric 20 to both MMII and Transitions. MMII is a nice cd that flows really well with some noteworthy tracks (Sean Q6 - Of Course, and the unbelievable Mandalay - Deep Love (Charlie May mix)). But ultimately gets a little too slow and deep for me.
Transitions is yet another well crafted mix with good flow and some really good tracks David K - Beautiful Dead, On Spec - Knights of Columbus, and Dana Bergquist - McEnroe). Fun selection of tracks but really seems some tracks were picked because they flow well as opposed to being a really good track.
But Fabric 20, with a seemingly lack of flow and odd selection of tracks just really stands out as my favorite 1-disc dj mix Digweed has put out over the last couple years. Tracks like DJ RaSoul - True Science, Billy Dalessandro - In the Dark, and Joel Mull - Emico really make this my top mix from him.
Anyone else agree with me, or does Transitions or even MMII stand out for everyone else?

I like MMII because I prefer the deep and more melodic progressive vs. the electro and minimal stuff on the other CDs, but that's just me. MMII has a really nice flow to it, and it's definitely a cool CD to chill to, not just dance to, because he builds it up really nice. I'de also check out "Bedrock", a brilliant CD with a mixture of progressive house, trance and some more traditional house music as well.

MMII by far. I personally loathe the clicky retro-sounding electro shit he chose to go with on Transitions and Fabric 20. Then again, I've never been a fan of the electro house trend either, which is strange since I love minimal techno and deep/tech house. There's just something about that straight electro sound that just grates on my nerves I suppose.

Fabric 20 is underrated imo, Transitions is overrated for me. Still gotta listen to MMII

i think it's the shallow, obviousness of electro house. there's some good tunes, but majority of the genre is trash. I too love minimal techno and tech/deep house, but electro is just too much
cause right now it's a bit too early.
