what say BOA ?
Yep, "Closer To The Edit" is better. It's more engaging and feels a lot more human than "Transitions". The concept has obviously been pushed further with the latter, however as a mix it doesn't really deliver in my opinion; granted he has the "listen to it on the headphones" card to exonerate himself, I do think he's gone up his hole a little bit in order to get to that next level.

You take a fraction of those records he used and do a 'normal' DJ set with them, and you'd have a better listen. I admire what he's done here, and I'm not knocking him, I just don't think it was a very rewarding listen, more an exercise in "Look what I can do" rather than "Listen to how great this sounds".

Maybe I should have listened to it in 5.1, although I'm just taking it for its musical content and more importantly its flow, and in both departments it is lacking in comparison to previous Hawtin mix projects.
