The first half was quite interesting, very well thought and interesting progression, but when things turned to 4/4 I seemed to lost interest quite a bit. It seemed to go a bit random from there and those 2 completely unnecessary remixes (Halcyon, SMBU) really annoyed me (especially when Halcyon seemed to be out of key when you mixed it in).
Top marks for the first half though  |
I am really glad you enjoyed the first part. I admit I would have been happest keeping the whole mix in the same vein. But as you said yourself there is not that much melodic breaks around...
In responce to your other comments:
The original SMBU was a lot more about attitude and yes, the better version. In defence of Burak Yeters remix, I think he has done a better job than anybody else who has attempted to remix SMBU, and he is in good compony (Seb Fontaine & Slacker to name but 2). I like the way he interweaves the ethnic vocals (my favourite part of the original) with some of his own lush sounding pads and the way the whole tune just seems to build and build.
The original Halcyon is perhaps the most perfectly crafted and captively beautiful electronic track produced, a song I will never fall out of love with. With regards to Dom Kanes version (1), it's more of a reprise than anything else, Although It is never going to win a prize for originality. I think it is worthy of some attention.
Halcyon was a key up from New Light. The mix wasn't made easy by New Lights melody continueing for four more beats after the start of the new 8 bar section. I wanted to quietly tease some of the detail of halcyon ahead of time then get a full modulation as new lights outro began. I'll be honest and say its not my favourite mix here,
Cheers for taking the time to listen to my mix in its entirety and for giving me honest feedback,
