I half agree with that, but I think it works in alot of places, especially with the way he edited the tunes...

I've just listened to this cd for the first time, I'm quite impressed. A lot of familar tunes form Sasha and Digweed sets.

Way better then volume 2 btw!

WTF I can't wait!

Sunday it's my birthday, I would like to have my copie?

God please, save me!

I was finally able to listen to this masterpiece tonight. Loved it all the way through. Unlike some others have said, I'm not annoyed by the fact that the tracks start to get mixed in/out too fast. I don't look at it as separate tracks, but truly as a whole. And in that it accomplishes what many other compilations only attempt but end up failing, sometimes miserably.

The line it follows is housey at the beginning and then slowly changes into more minimal and techno at the end.

Overall, fucking mint compilation. I'd definitely say pick it up when it comes out. You will not be disappointed.

Really, really good.

I don't feel like giving it a proper review after the first listen, but the programming and trackselection is simply brilliant. It's got everything an outstanding mix needs to have.

Yeah..I have to agree with you..it works in some places...but I don't dig it in others.

I look at it that way as well, but still, the structure still has a weird vibe.

Actually, the mixing style reminds me a bit of Sasha's Fundacion though not as great in the mixing. Vol III has this slam on effect when tracks finally drop while with Fundacion tracks weave in and out. Didn't care for Fundacion too much but there was this one segment where he goes through 8 tracks in a matter of minutes...so nasty, and I'm pretty sure Digweed used Ableton on this.

I thought this was badass. Digweed in full rave mode with this one.

Plan on playing a track or two this Friday

WELL first of all: GENIUS & AWESOME as descriptors

Its about time some of Sasha's buds from the UK start trying his innovative new styles. I hear alot from Carl Cox this summer and hes doing the ping pongy mashin also. Digs is always innovative, but his style is his own. Many times during Bonnaroo i thought i was hearing Sasha when it was Digs, and on the SSL bc of Nature1 Cox's set I kept think Sasha was right next to him helping.

I actually like the slam on effect

You're right, it's a bit like Fundacion except I think T3 has a better track selection and is more housey and upbeat.

Picked it up from Best Buy on my work break... 6 tracks in and I'm absolutely LOVING it, I don't think I've loved a Diggers CD this much since MMII or Hong Kong. I kinda liked Transitions #2, and #1 grew pretty old on me but already this shits all over both. Well done, Diggers!
