In my opinion this is an average mix and i will explain why.
The quality of tracks here are not in discussion, you made a very good selection. Narel, Airwave, Solar Fileds, Subtara, Cosmithex, Suffused...you have all the ingredient to make a good Progressive and Trance mix. But that's not what happened here.
You started with a deep track and played for a long time, having my attention and desire for more music. Unfortunately the transition killed the atmosphere because it's out of key. These deep and melodic tracks must be carefully mixed, otherwise, people will become uninterested.
From track 2 to 4 the flow is good but the bass levels on the transitions are slightly high, just like a few others during this mix. The only track i dislike is Hidden Moon, so i won't say too much about it. What i can say is that you shouldn't have play Trinidad Flashback, you just went from too banging to too deep very fast. At least that was my overall perception. I mean, you started with a deep track, tried to build a bang mix (perhaps?) and went to deep again...confusing.
The best part of this mix starts with Manu Riga and ends on Subtara, because after that, the transition between Alternate Reality and Chronosphere is the worst from the entire mix, killing the good flow you built.
The last 3 tracks were good, specially Through The Lines (i haven't heard this track before, so nice finding!), despite the slightly high bass levels during the transition.
You have a great taste in music but you must be careful about programming a mix and work a bit more on your transitions.

Thanks for the feedback man, guess we all have different tastes but always open to honest criticism.
Thanks for listening.
