Nobody's listened yet?

If you have, feedback would be really good, regardless of if it's good or bad (actually, especially if bad). This set's slightly unconventional transitionally (haha, i feel like I'm talking about quantum physics)...I know I like it, and it's technically sound, but before I give it out I would like some opinions other than mine.

Doing some homework and giving it a listen now, I'll let you know what I think soon.

I am liking the first tracks so far, especially the guitar in the first one. Building up nicely so far. Satisfy is definently a song that would make me want to get on the floor, and I like the contrast between the light female vocals between that crunchy bass.

When I saw the 4th track, I immediately thought of what a sick track closer to me was, and the great job satoshi did with that, but this track fell short of my expectations. In a mix, I like to hit a peak at track 4 or 5 and while this track was good in didn't have nearly enough energy that I would look for building off of track 3, the keyboard breakdown is especially annoying and I think should be edited out. I think if you edit that shit out and perhaps cut this song a bit shorter, I think it'll help the flow a bit, as the song does get repetitive quickly.

I really like the transition into track 5. This song is more of what I was looking for, as far as tempo is concerned.

Track 6 keeps the pace going nicely and has enough layers to keep things interesting. The freakin download stopped at this point and I have shit to do, so hopefully this helps so far and Ill probably give it another listen later. Thanks for the mix.

Wow, thanks for the in-depth review dude...definitely appreciate it a lot.

Any idea if it was my server or your side that caused you to only get a partial file?

Weird. It's usually very reliable in my experience...let me know if it happens again, I'll see if anyone else is having problems.

i like this mix alot.. i find it especially important that the first tracks in a mix is interesting to listen too.. and track 1, 2 and especially 3 is well worth listening too.. while track 4 sets of another kind of "part" of the mix.. which sounds fine too me.. the mixing is nice.. i personally didnt fancy the last 2 tracks, but it doesnt mean they dont fit.. just too mushy for me .. good mix.. i had this mix on when i slept a couple of times.. i faded out at around track 3

strongest tracks:

Velvet Girl - Satisfy
Filo & Peri - Dance With The Devil (Serge Devant Remix)
Ben Macklin - Release

weakest track:

Hiver and Hammer - Fusion 2006
Solar Stone - Seven Cities (Chris Bradley remix)
Above and Beyond - Alone Tonight (Disciples of Sound/Kid Lopez remix)

Nice, glad you liked it man.

That's actually a bit weird, you feel EXACTLY the same about it as I do after a bunch of listens. I think it starts off really well, but it it falls off starting with alone tonight. I do think that track is good because it blends the electro/house back into the trance very well, but as a track it's just not very good. And then the trance just feels...i don't know, wrong somehow.

I'm actually almost sure I'm going to mix this one again, and cut out the exact three tracks you put as "weakest tracks", and replace them with other tracks more in the vein of the rest of the cd. I was 99% sure I was going to do that before, you agreeing with me just added the extra 1%.

Thanks for the feedback.
