I downloaded...now time for a quick review:

transition 1-2 :: 2 vocal tracks mixing together with both vocals playing at the same time during the transition, bleh!!! Bad idea. Good transition other wise but a poor choice for a transition point.
---------
transition 2-3 :: decent transition, I have no qualms about it really. Nothing exciting though, but I wasn't expecting anything exciting when mixing those 2 specific tracks together.
---------
transition 3-4 :: decent transition once again, although definetly noticable (I like nearly seemless transitions, so don't mind me) this one was fine for all intensive purposes.
---------
transition 4-5 :: hmmm, not bad...very doable, decent and ok. Once again nothing to make ur skin tingle but it works for it's purpose.
---------
transition 5-6 :: doesn't work for me. While it does it's job it just didn't flow that great with these 2 tracks together IMO.
---------
transition 6-7 :: eh, decent...nothing special.
---------
transition 7-8 :: nope these 2 tracks together didn't fit well IMO, but oh well...

track selection :: good track selection from a good family of labels no complaints at all

mood :: you kept the mood going, there wasn't any real structure, but then again u can't do much with 59 minutes.

overall :: decent mixing, not major complaints in that department, nice darker mood, great track selection, Good attempt, but u can do better I bet

Thanx for sharing, I will DL Vol. 2 when it's posted
