Thanks Mon-Soon

I remember it was an ID of the night for me. Manvel-Alisa has the Tune Of The Set title. Didn't know this track. So emotional... like Burned With Desire... I was close to tears Water Ripples never got my attention, but here it suited so well, that I badly wanted to know this track's name How could I ignore such a great tune!

Yeah Alisa is an awsome tune, unreleased tho.

Originally posted by MoN-SooN Flow: 10 Quite rare idea to start with uplifting and going into more epic trance, but you did it superbly. Maybe it is not building up, but you keep the flow constantly and I didn't feel any drop down. And that wasn't easy, as you started with Sean Tyas

I gave it a listen before I put the needle down and said lets start with this.

Originally posted by MoN-SooN Mixing: 9.9 What to say. Accurate, tight mixing, perfect for this style. Transitions are always in time so you never drop the energy (this refers to flow part too). Absolutely no beatmatching issues, just brilliant. One thing I spotted is the loss of low frequencies when Oree comes. Though I'm not sure if I'd notice it without metatron mentioning it

I used Serato Scratch Live on this with 2 shiny Tech 12's and a Macbook. In my opinion, I believe Oree has a bad mixdown, even tho i bought it straight from audiojelly, its low frequencies just drop when it reaches the climax.

Originally posted by MoN-SooN I'm gonna tell you something. Your music represents all things that I like about PVD style. It is your best set IMHO. Note, that I jam to Transitional Memory on a regular basis! nuff said

Thank You Mon-Soon, I still jam to Oriental Impact.

John, I think this is your best mix to date. Wonderful arrangement with a nice direction. There were moments that allowed reflection because you suddenly dropped something completely unexpected, which I appreciate very much. Although some of the transitions were a bit hard to swallow due to shifts in harmony (or lack thereof), the incoming track erases them from memory. I'm glad you have separated youthfulness and emotion because a lot of the crap being released these couple of years in the trance scene tries to bring back emotion but it ends up being silly and undeserving of listener's time. You wanna go for stuff that's cerebral, plays with your mind and bring up emotions, rather than cheesey synth loops that brings out about 1 second of emotion.

My first time through it I was not very appreciative of your suddenly energetic start but by the time the mix finished and looped back, I realize this mix seems like a never ending dream and it provided a good sense of drive from start to end. Although I've said before not to jump start a mix like that, I think the track had enough variety to make it an appetizer track. I'm not sure what else I can say except very good job, this mix is a definition of good trance music.

PS: You need to work on your harmonic transitions a bit more, I notice you choose the track based on flow but you tend to forget that beatmatching isn't the only element to a transition.
