Spike Witney- "Saffron Skies" [downtempo/alternative]

This mix is something of a departure compared to the stuff I usually post on these forums, but I felt it turned out quite well for a set that was essentially done for my own listening pleasure(read self-indulgence;p). I wanted to celebrate some beautiful vocal work and downtempo action (1st section) combined with some of my favourite "alternative" music (2nd section). Overall its quirky, but with some tracks of rare beauty that have left a defining impression upon me. Hope some of that reaches you guys! Would love to hear any comments as always

Hope you guys like it!
Bit of a disclaimer here-this is quite different from the stuff I usually post, especially in the 2nd half, which isn't electronic music really, more guitar based. The mix was just an excuse to throw some of my fave tracks together in some mutually agreeable order

Fucking love that game so much, haunting melancholic atmosphere throughout, I creamed myself when they used some of the game music for the film adaptation.

haha, looks good mate. Can't wait to hear this 'indulgent' tuneage!
I can't download tho, it says the files not available and they're trying to sort the problem out, which sucks.

At first I thought you were promoting a track you'd made!!
Spike Witney - Saffron Skies sounds like a cool name for a tune, oh well
