Hey bud, just had a listen last night and here's a few comments I had. First and foremost, I think Glacial and the accompanying picture are a misrepresentation of the pace and feel of the mix. When I think of a glacier, I think slow moving, airy, yet beautiful. Your mix on the other hand was high paced, beautiful too, but more of an adrenaline shot of progressive.
I should say I decided to give this a listen in a hot tub last night, and so I was looking for a mix really geared towards a home listening experience. However, I feel that this mix really would be geared better towards a club. That being said, I think it would absolutely own in a club, and I would love to hear something like this at that time.
To me, what really embodied this difference was the first five or six tracks. I wish I could give you names to be more specific, but I really don't know any. I believe I was about 20 minutes into the mix and there still hadn't been a real breakdown. I was starting to crave it, which can be awsome, but the breakdown didn't come for another 10 minutes. After that true prog set breakdown, which really seemed the only one for the first 40 minute or so, the mix took a turn in almost a tech/electro/dirty beat direction. Looking back, its not that this was not fitting for the mix, in fact the flow was superb, its just that for what I thought it was going to be, it was a bit different.
All that being said, my only real issue is with the artwork and title you showed and how, I felt, it misrepresent the mix. Some would probably laugh at how I turned this into an essay, especially considering how terrible the efforts are on professional mix album artwork, but I think it is something that in these amateur forums we tend to get right more often. Thanks for the mix, and Ill try and give your newest one a listen soon.

Thanks a ton for your thoughtful comments. Sorry that it seems you were disappointed by the mix. I had actually thought that the theme was pretty clear and actually one of my best in terms of portraying an expectation for a mix. I hadn't actually thought about the speed part of 'glacial' and I now see where that falls pretty flat, heh. In my defense I was going for a name that would represent the cool, fresh and atmospheric elements. With your comments, I probably would have changed it to something else, heh. Anyway, yeah I admit the names are probably the weakest part of my mixes. I try, and I think I get it right more often then not, but often I don't think about it enough and just stick with my first choice. Anyway, again, thanks very much and hope you check out my newest mix. It's definitely more groovy and dance-focused, but I don't think it misrepresents itself.
