Also, I don't actually believe he does any of these things:

Offtopic, his productions from wipEout 3 soundtrack are mint.

(I had to say that. )

i love sasha but he has been rather hit or miss lately. diggers though on the other hand has been on a rampage. i'm still whoring out his essential mix

Most of what needs to be said, has been said.

My admiration for Sasha came from the fact that he used to play very smooth sets. Sets which just built over a few hours, and by the end you didn't even realise how much energy you were dancing with.

It seems as if his sets have become less smooth, especially with Ableton. Just saw him this past Saturday, and the set sounded...laboured. The transitions were boring as hell, and he was going for a very tech sound, which I don't think is his strong point. The entire night felt like he was searching for something to play, rather than knowing what to play.

If he stays closer to melodic progressive, he does a much better job, then when he tries to minimalist stuff. Bring back the melody Sasha, and we will listen again.

That is very true, didn't think of that.

The difference is, you've actually heard Sasha sets since 2002, Mikey has not.

Digweed may not be a hit or miss to the extent of Sasha, but he is still hit or miss. I went to see him last March during his Transitions 2 (a compilation that I liked) tour and all it was a boring 3 hour set that went absolutely nowhere with a bunch of frat guys jumping around and trying to pick up chicks. The second part of the explanation in the previous sentence has made a huge contribution to my disappointment in the whole event, but Digweed's set played a big part too - stepping outside for a minute would be the same as for an hour, nothing was to be missed.
