Haven't listened to it yet, but good job on keeping it shorter than 80mins

Heheh, that was a bit of a pain but I managed to do it

looks interesting Mr. Mystery, will downloading tonight. haven't heard most of those songs

Fucking sick tracklist man

Climbatize for the win, that's my favourite Prodigy track, and yes, one of the best basslines ever

Can't wait to give it a listen

Originally posted by lenazi i will skip through the oasis bit, but can't wait to hear the rest I'm really surprised at the yello track, and it is cool that you didn't pick the most obvious one. I can't say there is anything that i have never heard on here, but i can say that beyond oasis i liked everything else on here at some point or another it will be nice to revisit these.

I take it you've never read this?

I lol'd

Wow, I love almost everything in that setlist, but never thought I'd hear them in one place. Very interested in this.

Neither do I, but I enjoy hearing what other people think about music I already have an opinion on, and why they hold that opinion.

This looks



Got a few hours of driving ahead of me this weekend, so this will do nicely.

I'd already heard most of these tracks before, but most of them are sheer class. What I liked is that you switched between many different styles but I still got a strong impression of what you love in music.

well done nik. loved it.

Nice one, first bit of actual feedback

Fantastic selection of tracks. You managed to fit them together into a pretty smooth flow as well (ok, Champagne Supernover was a little random, but it's not like I didn't read the track-listing first )

The last third of the set was my favourite by far, probably due to my own musical tastes though.

God damn, I miss big-beat. At 17, I moved out of home, and came to the city for Uni. Allowed to finally go clubbing! Most of that year was spent in big beat clubs here in Brisbane. Upstairs at Ric's Cafe, this little dodgy place of awesome music. So many memories

Thanks for the tunes. Thanks from my gf as well, since she's into the same kind of music

Excellent work, Mystery.

To be honest, a majority of the day I don't have the patience for mixes that aren't too energetic (I'm a restless person), but this was a perfect accompaniment to the shitty insomnia I'm currently experiencing.

Like SYSTEM-J said, although all these tunes are all quite different, I really got a feel of what you like. In a word: atmospheric. I was surprised at how well you managed to make this all fit together too. I really enjoyed it a lot.

Finally, the Apollo 440 track surprised the shit out of me. The last track of theirs I heard was Stop The Rock, and you weren't joking about the inconsistency of their output. I checked on discogs that there weren't two groups of the same name because I didn't believe that the same people could have produced both tracks. Amazing.

Yeah, and the two tracks are on the same damn album too.

Thanks for the feedback. I really had fun with this and I can only imagine what the next one will be like...

Apollo 440 did some great progressive house mixes in their time, before they turned to big beat.

By the way, I really love Middle Of Nowhere, but you chose my least favourite track from it. I never liked those stylophone sounds.

Outstanding mix. With these tracks, mixing isn't important. I'll be honest, I like Oasis! I wasn't a big fan of the track before it, but it didn't really interrupt the flow, so no worries. The tracks in the middle of the set were a bit ploddy but they were still good. The energy picked up and you played some pretty awesome tunes at the end. I enjoyed it, nice work!

exellent taste provides more exellent selection. Ito was pleasure to listen to this mix... some sentimental tracks for me here...
Hybrid - Finished Symphony i heard it first in the tekken community project movie and was searching for the title till today

Thx

i listened to it while sitting in traffic today forever, and i must say that it made it better

If only normal radio had such variety.

Good god what a tracklist I just must listen this immediately when download is finished.

Can't wait for someone to actually play some Trance in his mix.

I'm waiting for the download to finish, so I'll start with the tracklisting:

Varied to say the least. This is more of what I personally would like to see with these mixes, but I guess it's up to the mixer what they want to do.

Pink Floyd: I haven't heard all of their stuff, but anything from Dark Side of the Moon would be great in my opinion. EDIT: I thought it was Eclipse when I first read the tracklist. I'm always eager to hear more Pink Floyd. Probably my favourite non-electronic act.

BT: I've heard a lot of BT stuff, but not this tune. Looking forward to it. Right now my favourite is Sunblind, but that might just be due to its rarity.

Jean-Michel Jarre: Never heard of him, looking forward to it.

Oasis: Kind of overrated for me. Not the song I would have chosen, but still not a bad song either.

Apollo 440, Crystal Method, Chemical Brothers, Junkie XL: Being from North America, I've only really heard a couple of radio hits from each group. Looking forward to hearing what someone who has listened to them more would consider their best work to be.

Sasha: I have this ep, but I only ever play xpander from it. It will be good to go back and revisit this.

The Prodigy: Again, not my absolute favourite track from them, but one of them. Great groove to it. I have a feeling I know why you would have chosen this track over others.

Hybrid: This is also one of my favourite songs of all time, but I prefer Symphony. It just seems to flow better as a song to me. Also, there is an extra sound in Symphony in the second half that reminds me of a child (I'm sorry, this is the best way I can describe it). It just seems to make the end of the track brighter for me.

I definitely approve the choices in tracks. Now to listen to the set and see how it all goes together... =)


EDIT: Post mix thoughts:

transitions: after hearing the first couple, I realize that the songs you have chosen are just too difficult to mix together to keep any flow, a good effort though. The problem for me is that the first few songs all start off really slowly, so whatever momentum is picked up throughout the song is lost in the next transition. I'm glad you went with variety over easily mixable tracks.

Pink Floyd: Great track that I haven't heard at all. I'm going to need to check out the second half of the song on my own. Damn you! =)

BT: Probably one of the most atmospheric songs I've heard of him that were still listenable. I wasn't a big fan of his Binary Universe Album.

Jean-Michel Jarre: Good atmospheric tune, I can't stand the musical chords being called out though. Sounds kind of, I'm going to say cliche, but this may not be the right term for it.

Oasis: After hearing the first few tracks, I can now see why you would choose this track for the set. The track comes in a little sour for me (key clashing), but is only there for a few seconds.

Apollo 440: I liked the transition into this one. Having the key matched really helped it. Not what I'm used to hearing Apollo 440 play, but prefer it over most of the stuff I have heard from them.

Sasha: Makes me think it could fit early on in the Airdrawndagger album. Good stuff.

Orbital: Finally starting to see some build to the set after the last few tracks. Track sounds quite original to me, but probably not one I would buy.

Yello: Big change in pace here. Pretty good track, don't know what else to say.

Crystal Method: Very Crystal Method sounding. I am liking how all of these tracks each have a unique sound to them, even the ones that may get categorized in similar genres.

Chemical Brothers: This track already seems like it could fit in with Climbatize. We'll see how it fits with Billy Club.

Junkie XL: The beat in this song seems to fit well with Narayan. I think Climbatize will work well also. Not my favourite JXL song, don't really care for it.

The Prodigy: Good mix here. What can I say that already hasn't been said. I love the bassline in this also. I like the fadeout of the JXL song into this, it just seems to add a bit more to the beginning of the track.

Hybrid: I like the sudden cut to introduce this song as a closer. Amazing track! Again, one of my all time favourites.

Overall, some great tracks. I really liked the flow of the second half of the set. In the first half, the tracks just made it too tough to keep any flow in my opinion.

I really enjoyed this set. Thanks for sharing!! =)

*This post is mainly to system-j*

This to me is a good point. I'm sure system-j that you already have a bunch of people in mind to submit mixes, and that they're probably electronic music veterans in general. Because of this, I worry that they may have all moved on from trance and will avoid playing it for the most part. This may be the case with other genres as well.

I'm wondering if you we're planning or could plan to pick people that would more likely fill in genres that aren't getting any attention. Trying to cover more genres between the different mixes might get more people interested in the idea.

For me personally, I'd like to see some trance. I started with older trance and haven't found anything to fill the void when it went out of style. I'd like to see a trance veteran submit something that may turn me on to other tracks I may have missed previously. People like Rebel9 have put out some good stuff that I enjoy, but it only covers one end of the spectrum.

Please don't just view this post as a plea to get more trance in the mixes, but more of a suggestion to get more genres covered over the different mixes. If I happen to get trance on one of them, great, but I will still be happy to see different genres covered in every mix. I tried the first mix and found it just wasn't my cup of tea and that I couldn't get into it. With this second mix, I am familiar with a bunch of the songs and am genuinely interested in seeing how these can all possibly fit together.

If I keep seeing variety in the mixes from month to month, I'll keep coming back. Otherwise I'll get bored and not bother.

I'll end this post by saying that this idea is off to a good start so far and that I appreciate you carrying it through. Thanks for getting it all started.

What you've got to understand is that I have no idea what each participant will play in their mix. The only way I could guarantee you trance would be by deliberately picking someone who I know only really likes trance.

Also, there's a "Trance classics!" set posted in this section every month, if that's what you're looking for. I know many TAs would just bang out some '99 vintage epic trance if I invited them. There will be trance featured here sooner or later, you can bank on it.
