015 Windmill Sessions March2008



...A mix series created to showcase some of the best-crafted melodic music from around the globe to prick my ear! Ultimately it is a celebration of the wonderful work that some electronic music producers do, which unfortunately seems to go unnoticed by and large. Those tracks which stir the spirit and transport yourself to somewhere else entirely. Its smooth, deep and melodic-loveliness all the way...don those headphones and get stuck in

Ilya Malyuev-Little Sad Smile (reprise)
Ulrich Schnauss-influenced work by the increasingly experimental Ilya Malyuev in this beautiful reprise.
Pete Lunn-Calgary
A distinctive little melody slowly uncoils before percussive and rhythm elements are overlaid and built upon, all of which creates a sumptuous chill-out track.
Lokitas-Lullaby (people in love mix)
Distinctive atmospheric breakbeats from Lokitas with that trademark operatic vocal. Deep in every sense!
The Quasar-Shining
The first of two unusual tracks by the highly creative and innovative 'The Quasar'. I'm at a loss to describe the feeling in this track, suffice to say its chuffing great and injects some urgency to the mix.
Deerk Hollaender-Nothing Worth Having Comes Easy (paul keeley remix)
The original was good but this interpretation is special indeed. A track that oozes summery goodness and charm, all delivered by that memorable rolling bassline.
The Quasar-Twilight On The Mars
Quirky and interesting initially, this track quickly becomes fast-moving melodic progressive. Lovely use of unusual sounds throughout in this.
Michael+Levan-January Morning
After a nice long mix we enter the world of Eastern European dark progressive by the forerunners themselves-Michael+Levan. This track has a HUGE 3 minute breakdown that creates the lull before the higher tempo latter stages of the mix, plus its bloody beautiful to boot.
Zodiacal Light-Celestial Navigation
Ocassionally you may find a melodic prog-trance like this which isn't littered with cliches and formulaic build-ups. When such a record is found (as this is) much rejoicing ensues The drum rolls (among other elements) in this are fan-fookin'-tastic!
Masque-Landscaping
After a necessarily short mix out of the last track the bass of 'Landscaping' smacks straight into the listener with considerable force. I've been so impressed with the work of the fast-improving Masque recently, long may he continue.
Gui Boratto-The Rivington
"Windmill Sessions in techno shocker!" Yes, this track could be called techno, but don't panic-its beautifully melodic and powerfully emotive in its electro-influenced goodness.
Michael+Levan-January Morning (mango remix)
Russian wonderkid Mango drops another bomb with his remix of 'January Morning', which showcases a darker and more electro-infused ethic, while still retaining 'that Mango style'. Yum!
4Mal+Matthew Adams-Computer Parts (4mal wireless love mix)
Bosh alert! One of my favourite tracks for a couple of years now which has only just seen a release. Perhaps the only track I will gladly sing along to in suitably camp karaoke fashion!
Lange-Nearly Home
Lange's 'Nearly Home' provides the perfect send off reminiscent of those filmic moments as the picture fades to black and the credits roll after an epic tale, the glorious goodbye
