Gotta say I really like the vibe your pullin with this mix. Progressive, mellodic, and not obnoxious. Your selection of tracks provides a wonderful contrast of melodic ear-catching trance with very progressive and soulful dance music. It really is a beautiful relaxing tromp through some elegant and subdued yet powerful tunes. Just my kind of stuff, especially right now.
Some of the transitions aren't perfect, the one at about 26 min is an example. Nothing too distracting in that aspect. The overall theme isn't too rememberable. I hold in high regard a mix that contains a unifying theme or effect that captures my long term appreciation. This mix comes close but isn't quite there. It may seem aloof or snotty to have this criticism but I just have to state it as I am always looking for it and I believe it's something that is important for a dj to impart upon his listeners. It's very abstract I know, I'm sorry.
Other than those critisisms the mix is superb and a joy to hear. I am very impressed at your skill with the progressive side as I know you have mastered the other and are broadening your skill set.
Great to have have your continued contribution to the forum and thanks a bunch for the beautiful mix.
Oh and by the way, absolutely love the tracks at 41 and 50 min. Cheers.

I know you had good intentions with this set, but it seems like this mix was done with a lazy effort on your part. It did not build at all and the flow was mediocre at best while the transitions lacked any creativity for most of the set. Overall I choose not to rate this because I know you can do better than this. In the future please no more lazy sets and come back with a bang not a flop.
