Review

After releasing four incredibly amazing albums for the Global Underground series, John Digweed emerged with the collection MMII. It's more or less an intricate selection of tracks crafted by Digweed for radio shows, but also a diverse piece of work fit for inside the club and out. It varies in moods, but overall, there's something relaxing and soothing about MMII. Bermuda Triangle's "Mooger Fooger" is a nocturnal trip through space, while "Protect the Sense," from the Flash Brothers, oscillates rich worldbeat grooves and progressive house loops. Rare tracks like Underworld's previously unavailable "Dub Extravaganza" remix of "Black Sky" from Shakespear's Sister and Darren Emerson's magnetically cool take on 108 Grand's "Te Quiero" illustrates Digweed's impeccable ear for what's sonically desirable in the multifaceted world of dance. MMII recognizes Digweed's influence on American dance music and his position to take it where he wants. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
