I don't generally like the really heavy Israeli stuff over and over, but I quite enjoyed this. I liked the intro; that was a funny idea.

Samuel L. Jackson can never go wrong as the beginning of a mix

I had a look at your other mix and I knew quite a lot of the tracks, but this one not so much. That Bushman track is absolutely awesome, never heard that one before! I also liked the track at the 47 minute mark; very unique melody and cool bass line.

That Bushman track is very good, it's the best one on his album, Unhuman. He has some other good tracks on there too, but this one was the most appropriate for this set. The track at 47 minutes is Drop This, and that's another cool track.

For me, the real strength of this mix was in the bass lines. So many full-on tracks have pounding, energetic yet mediocre bass lines and crap, randomised melodies. Here you've focussed on what I love...thumping, unique-ish bass with minimalistic melodies. That said, I didn't enjoy all the tracks in this set. Not a big fan of track seven, and the vocals around the 43:00 minute mark were awful!

My definition of full on is exactly what you pointed out. I don't consider all psy with rolling basslines to be full on, especially the crappy randomized warpy synths that hop up and down the whole time. I'm more of a fan of heavy saws, squares, and minimalistic melodies that carry the beat along.
You didn't like ROUNDERS?? That was one of my favorite songs on the set!

It was cool the way you got more trancey and melodic towards the end; this really added to the set and gave a feel of true progression. The last track was pretty good. I'm annoyed because I bought the "Serotonia" album and didn't like it at all; why couldn't I have got the album that this was on?

My next set is going to be more trancy in the beginning, followed by some melodic full on later.
Quadra has seriously grown as a producer in his new album, Voice of Reason, compared to his previous work. I have used 3 of the tracks on that album in my sets. Cyberfunk, Technoport, and Unification. Wonderful album.
Thanks so much for the detailed response! You don't know how much I value these kind of replies!
