Hit: 5 Stars
Masterpiece. Pure and simple.
As a typical Digweed set, this starts off already deeper than most would have it, and obviously finishes off where nobody could ever think about going to. What I believe has Digweed standing from his brotherhood is his "introverted" quality, more a thinker, a "meta-DJ" if you want. Some may find this set to be boring since it is after all not based on a "housy", "clubby", Miami sing along vibration. Each piece flows to elaborate an intricate homogeneous ensemble in tone and rhythm. Some small element of tribal introduces the set ("From/lands"), beats which get a bit tougher and are sustaining a more electro type of vibe ("In spite", some elements of which I would compare to early Sasha's, mysterious...).
"Pretty face" then plunges you deep into typical Digweed-land: strong dubbed like beat, singles step, and lighter, tingling percussions with a hint of background wave, dark style...this is before you are hit again with strong tribal and electro elements, the latter taking over as we go, two step ("Wear/medals", "Pitch it")."Elevation" goes back to softer tracks identifiable by their rounded bass, when "Rezolution" again brings back a more tech house feel sturdy and danceable.
The last two pieces are absolutely outstanding in their ability to have you take off from the rest and bring you into a new territory: strong electro influence, but deep electro, menacing, dark ("Piknik bugz"'s offset repetitive keys and spaceship tones).
This is remarkable for the fact that it never, ever, ever lets you down, has any soft spots, lame wanderings, or "accidents" which veer from the main path: it is very coherent and mastered. Well thought out and perfectly executed. Digweed's strength is his ability to surf with the changes in genres (,tech,tech-house, wave, trance, electro etc) but remain faithful to his "cerebral" and "intellectual" style which gains appeal as you listen to the pieces over time.
For fans of Digweed, this is a no brainer. For those who can't spell Digweed...I would in fact recommend this one because it is a beautiful proof that DJs can show us the way to "smart music".
