Gave this a listen while on the elliptical last night... only got about 1/2 of the way through, but it showcases a great variety of tunes. I LOVED the tune you chose to open with, and the set has its share of peaks and valleys - even the more repetitive, loopy songs don't drag since you mix them out before they get too boring. The Tom Middleton mix of Halcyon+On+On was a definite standout too. I am really impressed how you can make these 3+ hour long sets with consistently tight mixing and a varied track selection.
I will have to listen to the second half next time I'm at the gym.
Thanks again mate for your kind words and feedback (and bump!). Honestly I think there's some pretty rough moments in there, got a bit carried away with the fade to grey like I said.
The second half is a lot more bangin though and I also drop some trance late in the mix.
I'm absolutely loving that remix of Halcyon, more lush than the track Lush from the same E.P.
Lately I've really been mashing more of these tunes together and getting some good results, kinda wish I'd held off on this set a bit.
This is fucking awesome. Did you mix it on decks? Very impressive if so.
I loved the progression. As someone else said, there were nice peaks and troughs. The thing I enjoyed most were the bass lines; they were very strong and gave the tracks in the latter half considerable drive.
Top work mate. I'll review Tranzlation late next week when I've had a few listens.

Thanks for your feedback Stub, sadly I can't take credit for mixing this on proper decks. It was done with Live 8 and the VCM-600 which makes it easy to keep tight. Glad you liked this though.
Next time around will be straight from vinyl as I've been buying quite a few lately. A few of the tracks in this set I ripped from vinyl and I've really been missing the feeling you get playing on techs. It's probably going to take me bit longer to put together.

Looks like a nice long mix to keep me busy during the weekday. On the D/L

Well, I've been extremely busy at work today and haven't had a chance to give this a thorough listen, but I will say that I'm at about the 60 minute mark and I really like whatever's going on here
edit - and the proggy track that follows... is this Babicz?
edit 2 - ah, Middleton rework...nice!

Thanks for listening David. I'll be posting a review for your mix in the next day or so but am going to listen again on some decent speakers first.

Much appreciated, thanks! I'll try to make some more comments once I get to actually listen all the way through.

Truly excellent set. Some great tunes in there, and smooth transitioning. Loved the first ~40 minutes especially.
