aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the obligatory trance bash.

This has nothing to do with trance.

It has everything to do with having too many tracks on each cd.

My point was that it's still possible to produce a good, musically viable mix without waiting until the last 8 bars to mix out of every track. Depending on how it's put together, sometimes more = more.

but certain genres lend themselves to that style of mixing. Tech is one. I don't believe prog is, in my opinion you need to give it time to do its thing. I'm not advocating 7 minutes per track or anything, because you could get away with shorter stuff, but I don't think 3 minutes per track (shorter than a radio edit) is appropriate.

Well if you're talking about the atmospheric, "musical journey" type prog then I agree - the tracks need time to build and it's probably not going to work if you try to mix in or out of them half-way through - but based on the tracklists I don't think this is going to be that type of mix, especially not the first or third CDs. I could be wrong and the entire thing could end up sounding like a giant pile of shit, but with tracklists like those I think it'd take a musical genius like Tiesto to make them sound bad.

god always gotta be a bloody debate no matter what topic!

why can't you just say "hmmm that's great!" or "that's nice."

I'm not saying its gonna be bad. Cos as Renegade said with tracks like that not even I could make it sound bad.

I'm saying I think it could be better in an "enjoy the music" kind of way if they didn't try to cram so much in.
