------------
Mix #1
------------
3/4 For Intro Track, not really an intro if you ask me, but you gotta give him props for dropping a hardtrance
track with the master, Danny Tenaglia's vocals on it. that gave it some pull, and you gotta have balls to try
something like that. still not very introish. maybe a couple of bars of editted Elements vocals, Acappella,
that wouldve been nice.
Danny still would kick your ass if he heard that remix, IMHO, it sucks (of course, just my taste, no points
deducted because of personal tastes)
8/10 Consistent Beat Matching, transition into track 3, you can hear a bit of a screwup and it being fixed
amazingly fast, good thing he has an ear good enuff to notice what he was doing before he did it.
10/10 Consistent Phrase Matching, good all the way.
9/10 Track Key Matching/Vol/Gain/etc, gotta hand it to this dude, near perfect.
9/10 Track Selection, i'd have gone differently with the Danny Tenaglia
8/10 Style/Originality, nothing in here that really could set it appart from any other hardtrance set; except for the rare use of some vocals.
3/5 For Sound Quality, even though higher quality (bitrate wise) than the other, it was clicky clacky at some points.
2/3 Effects, hmm, i dont know if he dropped an acappella or two, but he seemed to screw with vocals a lot, props.
and it felt he added a little somethin to the set.
4/5 Track Order, the intro track, used as a 2nd track wouldve been lethal, combined with a good intro.
3/3 Exit Track, you cant argue with a track like that.
59/70 Overall grade for this mix.

Mix #2
------------------
4/4 For Intro Track, Excellent Intro, progressed beautifully and kept you interested.
10/10 Consistent Beat Matching, flawlessly beatmatched
9/10 Consistent Phrase Matching, good all the way, but i feel the transfer into holden's Nothing (ret. 93 mix)
was a bit sketchy, phrasewise
8/10 Track Key Matching/Vol/Gain/etc, the transfer into the 3rd track, Iio - At The End (Scumfrog Remix),
was great at first, but i kinda hear it rushed at the last part.
10/10 Track Selection, Grade A track selection on this mix.
10/10 Style/Originality, you dont hear those tracks together in a mix very much, and after Saeed & Palash's mix
of At The End, people have sort of forgotten the Scumfrog one, which i enjoy most, so props.
1/5 For Sound Quality, the mix wouldve been 10x more enjoyable with a higher quality MP3.
2/3 Effects, no effects really present that i noticed, but that one at the end with the fade out of At The End
was nice.
5/5 Track Order, very well structured
3/3 Exit Track, freaking EPIC, i loved it, very very interesting.
62/70 Overall grade for this mix.
Personally, in a non coldly analized way, i wouldve gone with the
progressive mix, Mix#2, i liked it better.
