Review: John Digweed - Transitions Vol. 2 (2007, Renaissance Recordings)
Following on from the success of the first volume, Transitions Vol. 2 does not disappoint. In fact, those who were less than enthralled with Vol. 1. may find the comparably somber and melodic Vol. 2 a bit more enjoyable. Mind you, if you haven't enjoyed Digweed's output over the last two or three years, this compilation will most likely prove to be no different.
Digweed's sound is still firmly rooted in tech-house, and the cheeky electronic elements of many of the tracks included here will most likely annoy those fans who stopped enjoying Digweed after his last Global Underground CD. But if you have an open mind and an ear for melody, I assure you that Transitions Vol. 2 is among the finest compilations released in recent memory, and perhaps Digweed and Renaissance's finest compilation in the last several years.
