Not at all what I expected, having heard fabric18.......2007-02-08

Too bad i couldn't hear a sample before buying it! Fabric 18 is a lot better than this! Too bad, and a waste off money in my humble opinion!

A Digweed Surprise.......2006-12-13

There is a saying about John Dignweed - listen to his performance, and you will hear the electronic music of tomorrow. One who at one time pioneered the progressive genre, looks in the crystal ball and lays down minimal, electric, subdued beats. If you don't like what you hear from the start, give it a few tries before dismissing it - you'll appreciate it. The high points are the instantly recognizable chords of Adam Johnson "Traber", the dramatic rock-like Infusion "Better World" chopped-up by Josh Wink, and the funky Superpitcher "Happiness".

It is not the best mix from Digweed, because it is hard to beat GU 19 "Los Angeles", but as a quick, hastily thrown fix of futuristic music it works very well.

Worst Fabric Mix to Date.......2006-12-09

I've been a Fabric subscriber since before Nov. 1999 (since before Craig Richards volume was even released). This is one of only three Fabric mixes I've sold second-hand (the others being Rob Da Bank's volume (too discordant - too many genres that don't fit together well) and Rub N Tug's (just boring)). Digweed's been off his game for some time now (since the Hong Kong GU I reckon) and, although he is trying to branch out into new sounds, his mixes of late are still boring and can easily put someone to sleep.

True tech-house fans will NOT enjoy this mix, so be warned. Digweed uses tired old tracks (Rasoul and Solveig's contributions have both been around for some time now) and infuses much of the rest of the mix with a "proginess" (maybe via Ableton?) that detracts from the actual original sound of the tracks themselves.

If you're looking for a DECENT tech-house mix, I suggest any of the following: any mix by Terry Francis (Architecture 1 is a classic...as is everything almost on Pagan), Craig Richards (Tyrant vol. 1 and 2 are both AWESOME), H Foundation's Nite Life 2 or Destination Australia mix or most of the Tech House Phenomena series (the mixes by DJ Dano, Inland Knights, Dave Mothersole and Richard Grey are all great).

Me and this CD.......2006-11-03

I get in my car to drive around LA, I put this CD in (as well as others from Digweed as well as his old pal Sasha) and I'm doing great with all of the other idiots constantly cutting me off, slowing down to watch an accident, talking on their phone while not knowing they are changing lanes, putting make up on while they probably know they are changing lanes, etc.

I highly recommend this CD

Boring and Average.......2006-09-01

While Digweed's GU HK and NY were great, this one is boring. It does not build to excitement like his other stuff. Skip this one if you liked the GU stuff he did.

Half and Half.......2007-07-07

I'm not a huge fan of Fabric's Fabriclive series, but curiousity always gets the better of me and I end listening to whatever they put out anyhow.

Initially, I was pleasantly surprised while listening to this album. Very eclectic and fun tracks from the world of urban beats. That was until the 9th track (The Nextmen - "High Score" (Stanton Warriors Remix)), and then the album just falls apart with cheesy or boring tracks till the end. Too bad.

3/5 stars.
